xTuple
What we're about
xTuple is open-source ERP and CRM software -- automated, integrated business process
management and corporate relationship management. Learn more at
xTuple.com. The code is managed by an eponymous company
in Norfolk, VA, and our community stretches around the world. The xTuple client
is a desktop app written in the cross-platform
Qt framework.
Many of our commercial customers are inventory-based manufacturers or distributors,
and we have a fair amount of commercially-licensed code to specifically support
these use-cases. That said, businesses of all sorts, even services-based companies,
run their operations on our open-source core.
We're always happy when people use xTuple as a launching point for their own
projects, whether or not you have a commercial relationship with us.
Why you might be interested in hacking on our software
The xTuple platform provides a great starting point for business software in
practically any industry. What you get for free is an entire stack to work on top
of, and a lot of business objects that you might want, like Invoices, Currencies,
Tasks and Contacts (and about a hundred more) are already implemented.
Moreover, one of the great strengths of the framework is extensibility and privilege
control. Our extension system allows for a high level of modularity, and keeps you
from having to rewrite the core. Fine-grained, centrally-managed privilege control
is also an important feature that businesses typically want, and we've taken special
care to implement it reliably across the application.
