LibreCRM Release v0.1.0: Open source customer relationship management based on LibreOffice

First published on Reddit (2022-04-29).

I was using a simple spreadsheet (LibreOffice Calc) for my own projects. However, spreadsheets inevitably become kind of messy over time, so I re-wrote the spreadsheet in LibreOffice Base.

LibreCRM is an open-source customer relationship management (CRM) system based on LibreOffice.

The workflow

The simple workflow is based on the following 6-state lead status:

  • Todo
  • Doing - cold
  • Doing - warm
  • Doing - hot
  • Done - closed
  • Done - rejected

The status Doing is subdivided into cold, warm, and hot leads which corresponds to

  • information qualified lead,
  • marketing qualified lead, and
  • sales qualified lead

in sales terminology.

The workflow is either finished with a success (Done - closed) or failure (Done - rejected).

The source code

You can find the source code (extracted from the odb file) and the odb file itself in the Github repository.

Building the odb from source ensures repoducible builds and prevents possible corruption of the odb file. This way LibreCRM can be improved continuously.
