axelor

Axelor is an open-source software project that provides an integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) platform, together with the company that develops it. The project and the company share the same name. It is designed for small and mid-sized businesses and aims to offer a modular suite of business applications in a single system.

Axelor is built on the Axelor Platform, a Java-based model-driven development framework that enables users to customize data models, business rules, and workflows with limited coding. The platform uses a relational database, commonly PostgreSQL, and exposes functionality through a web-based user interface and APIs to facilitate integration with other systems. It supports on-premises deployment as well as cloud hosting, and is available in a Community Edition (open source) and an Enterprise Edition (commercial).

The ERP and CRM modules cover a range of business processes. Core ERP capabilities include financial management, order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, inventory and warehouse management, manufacturing planning, project management, and human resources. The CRM module handles sales, marketing, and customer service. Axelor emphasizes configurability and extensibility, enabling organizations to tailor forms, workflows, and data models to their processes without extensive redevelopment.

Licensing and ecosystem: Axelor is distributed under open-source licenses with commercial licensing options for enterprise customers. The project maintains public repositories and documentation, and hosts an active community contributing modules, templates, and integrations for e-commerce, payment, and external systems. The platform is used by organizations seeking an integrated, customizable solution for managing business operations.
