Dolibarr

Free open-source ERP and CRM with optional SaaS hosting

Overview

Dolibarr is an open-source ERP and CRM web suite for small businesses, freelancers, associations and larger companies. The Dolibarr association, created in 2009, promotes the software and maintains its portal; the project’s copyright notice runs from 2003[15].

Users enable only the modules they need. Available areas include CRM and sales, HR, products and stock, billing, bank reconciliation, double-entry accounting, marketing and projects, with a marketplace of add-ons and a low-code Module Builder for customisation[15]. Dolibarr can be installed on-premises or on a virtual machine using packages for Windows, Mac, Linux and Docker, or used as SaaS through cloud offers listed at saas.dolibarr.org[15].

Dolibarr is one of the simplest ways for very small organisations to move from spreadsheets to an integrated system at no licence cost. Its manufacturing and multi-entity features are lighter than those of ERPNext or Odoo, and support comes from the community or paid providers rather than a single vendor.
