Overview:
Ever® Gauzy™ is an open business management platform that integrates multiple business functions into a single system. It provides modules for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Human Resource Management (HRM) with time and activity tracking, Applicant Tracking System (ATS), and Work and Project Management. The platform is designed for collaborative, on-demand, and sharing economy business models. It offers a headless API, a web UI, and desktop applications for Windows, Mac, and Linux, enabling deployment as a self-contained server or a client-server configuration for small to medium organizations.
Key Decision Points:
Deployment flexibility: Can be deployed using Docker Compose, Kubernetes, or manually, with options for a local all-in-one desktop app or a client-server setup for organizations.
Database support: Defaults to SQLite for demos; supports PostgreSQL and MySQL for production, with compatibility for other databases through TypeORM/MikroORM.
Time tracking approach: Includes a dedicated desktop timer application for employee activity and productivity monitoring with screenshots, which can run independently of the main web UI.
Multiple business modules: Consolidates ERP, CRM, HRM, ATS, project management, and financial management, reducing the need for separate tools.
Headless API availability: All platform features are accessible via headless APIs, allowing custom front-end development or integration with other systems.
Core Features:
Time Management and Tracking: Timesheets, activity tracking, and employee performance monitoring with a dedicated desktop timer app that captures screenshots.
Employee Management: Registration of employees and contractors, rate management, and employee onboarding workflows.
Contacts and Lead Management: Management of clients, customers, and leads within the CRM module.
Sales Pipelines and Proposals: Tracking of sales opportunities and creation of proposals directly within the platform.
Accounting and Invoicing: Financial management including income/expense tracking, invoicing, estimates, and billing.
Inventory and Equipment Management: Tracking of inventory items and equipment sharing capabilities.
