Side by side

What it does

An open-source ERP built with Laravel and Filament, with plugins for accounting, inventory, sales, purchasing, HR, recruitment and projects.

A fully open-source ERP covering accounting, inventory, sales, purchasing, manufacturing, projects and assets, built on the Frappe framework.

Watch out

Under two years old, so module depth, accounting correctness and upgrade paths are still unproven.
