Apache OFBiz is a free, open-source Java framework for ERP, e-commerce, CRM, and manufacturing, maintained by the Apache Software Foundation.
Apache OFBiz is an open-source suite of business applications built on a Java framework, designed to be flexible enough for use across many industries. It is developed and maintained by the Apache Software Foundation as a top-level project, with its roots dating back to 2001.
Rather than being a single monolithic application, OFBiz provides a shared data model and framework on top of which accounting, e-commerce, CRM, manufacturing, and warehouse management modules are built, making it a common choice for organizations that need a customizable, self-hosted ERP backbone.
Core modules cover accounting, order management, CRM, product and catalog management, promotions and pricing, warehousing and inventory, manufacturing, and contract and billing management.
As a framework, OFBiz is designed for deep customization and extension by developers, and it is distributed entirely free of charge under the Apache License 2.0.
OFBiz suits organizations and integrators with technical development resources who want a self-hosted, fully customizable ERP/e-commerce framework and prefer to avoid ongoing SaaS licensing fees.
Yes. Apache OFBiz is fully open source and distributed under the Apache License 2.0, with no licensing fees or upfront costs.
It is maintained as a top-level project of the Apache Software Foundation by a community-driven Project Management Committee of contributors.
It provides business applications for accounting, order management, CRM, e-commerce, warehousing, inventory, and manufacturing.
The core project is community-supported (mailing lists, issue trackers, documentation); commercial support is available separately through third-party integrators rather than the Apache Software Foundation itself.
