Overview
erxes is a self-hosted Experience Operating System built around core modules such as Inbox, Contacts, Products, Segments, Automation, and Documents, with plugins for sales, customer support, operations, content, and more.
Features and best fit
Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:
Use CRM, inbox, and automation as shared core services
Contacts, Inbox, Products, Segments, Automation, and Documents form a common business-data layer across modules.
Add Sales, Operation, Frontline, and other capabilities as plugins
Business domains can be enabled as plugins on top of a GraphQL Federation and Module Federation architecture.
For organizations that want CRM, support, sales, and projects on one self-hosted platform
It fits teams trying to consolidate customer-facing and internal operations instead of splitting them across several SaaS products.

Separate AGPL code, Enterprise plugins, and the SaaS competition restriction

Supplemental curator note
erxes consolidates categories covered by products such as HubSpot, Zendesk, and Linear into a large modular platform. Licensing is not simply AGPL: Enterprise plugins under `ee` are separately licensed, and the LICENSE also states that erxes may not be hosted as a competing SaaS service. Deployment models should be reviewed carefully.
