Compiere

Compiere develops open source enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management solutions in the U.S and internationally. The job it does: keeping every contact, deal and follow-up in one place so nothing slips.

The natural audience is sales teams and founders who are tired of spreadsheets. They also list CRM and Open Source, so expect those to show up in the feature set. As a very small product team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Compiere is based in Redwood Shores, California. Their site is compiere.com.

Before you commit, look at pipeline stages, email sync, mobile app, and what reporting costs extra. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with Compiere, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
