iDempiere micro - open source headless serverless ERP and CRM microservices compatible with iDempiere

When building a new business system there is a lot of stuff you can reuse. Most of the well-known libraries give you reuse on the technological level: logging, users, access control etc.

We decided to raise the bar a little bit higher and give software developers a possibility to reuse business entities from one of the most advanced open source Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software software - iDempiere.

Right now we are moving even further with rewriting some parts of iDempiere under a completely new project erpjs. If you are interested in the headless serverless ERP and CRM for the cloud, check the erpjs GitHub page.
