opensMod | Open Source Business Management

Important news:

opensMod V3.0 is the end of the road for the current system, we will not be providing any point releases due to complications being raised by end users creating their own modules etc making the system un-upgradeable.

What we are doing is going back to the drawing board, and making nextsMod (opensMod V4.0) fully modular, with the custom modules, masterfiles, fieldsets, fieldgroups, and fields being partitioned into their modules, meaning there's no risk of an upgrade conflicting with a custom masterfile, fieldset, fieldgroup, or field.

What does this mean for opensMod V3.0 users?  Well you'll just have to sit tight for 9 months until the nextsMod V1.0 release!

opensMod is COMMERCIAL OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE.

What exactly does that mean?  Simply - we offer a commercially developed software for free as open source under an open source license.

This means you get great software, you have access to world-class support, and you have the flexibility to customise the software to suit your needs.

opensMod has a sound base of accounting and CRM functionality, integrated from the get-go, in one software package.  Plus, we're planning to build and build on this solid base.

How does opensMod stack up against commercial, proprietary software?

Proprietary business management software traditionally fits into 2 out of these 3 categories, fast, functional or affordable.  Usually only one, sometimes 2, but never all three.

opensMod is different.

We work hard to produce software that is very functional, and add to it frequently to keep adding new features on a monthly basis that will add value to your business.

opensMod is FAST

opensMod works fast is fast to learn, fast to set up, and saves you time.

opensMod is AFFORDABLE

opensMod is FREE, you can't get any more affordable (we offer commercial support for a fee).

opensMod is FUNCTIONAL

opensMod brings together all of your business needs.  From accounting software, to CRM software, to inventory and warehousing and Point of Sale.  In ONE PLACE.

Wait, did we just hit all 3?

Fast - CHECK.

Affordable - CHECK

Functional - CHECK

opensMod seems to stack up pretty well against commercial proprietary solutions!

How does opensMod stack up against other, community driven open source projects

Community driven open source software is always free, generally fast, but generally is inconsistent in the delivery of features, functionality, support and upgrades.  These projects also frequently lack direction.

opensMod meets the first - it's FREE.

opensMod meets the second - it's FAST

opensMod BEATS the third, it's consistent in delivery with a single entity in charge of ensuring the community driven contributions are included when they need to be, while maintaining consistency of code, and paying for the development of the software, meaning there is accountability on release dates.

One other BIG thing comparing us against other open source projects - you can pick up the phone and TALK to us about your needs, and we can assist you, just like a commercial vendor.*
