We're using a closed source solution at the moment for our business. It's good at its core, and we don't want to change, but, they recently changed tech stack for their interface, and it runs like a dog now. Everything is syrup slow, and they are not going to admit their issue, and redact their work, or change to another tech stack. We run high end machines, and it's just terrible.

So that got me looking about, and I'm trying to find something that is preferabbly open source, that we can self host also. But having said that, we're happy to support the devs by paying them to host, if it's not out of the range of normality pricing wise.

We do tap in with our own tools via API's, webhooks, and whatnot. So if a 'deal' is 'won' for example, the system will talk with our n8n automation flows, and do various things. So it will need to handle that.

Any suggestions GREATLY appreciated. Happy for anyone to pimp their own, or their companies also. As I say, we're happy to pay if it's what suites, but we'd like to support open source endevours if we can.

Thank you

One solution that comes to mind is Odoo

But you will have to check it and see if it has the things you look for.

I’m not sure about all your requirements. I use 1CRM. It’s based on sugar crm, which is open source. It’s self-host-able. I had a good experience with support while I was setting it up (I pay for hosting). They are located on the west coast of Canada, if time zone matters.

Maybe ERPNext could do it. It has many modules, including CRM! https://erpnext.com/

I've used this since 2015 or so. It runs well on limited resources (we have it on a $10 / month VPS), and is pretty straightforward to use and even extend.

The opensource version is great and fully functional. We have bought the extended reporting and bpm pack which was also well worth it. Honestly, I can't say enough nice things about it.

Take a look at Group-Office. It has a community edition that is self-hosted and a paid professional edition. You can either self-host or host in their cloud.

Full disclosure: I am one of the developers.

Wagtail (Python/Django based) is pretty good. One of its big strengths is that since it's Django based, it's easy to extend.

As a Flask guy, this has my attention. Thank you. I'll take a look
