What is aureuserp?

What it is

Aureus ERP is a free and open-source Enterprise Resource Planning platform released under the MIT license. It is written in PHP and built on Laravel 13 as the application framework and FilamentPHP 5 as the admin panel layer, with Livewire 4 for dynamic interfaces and TailwindCSS 4 for the responsive front end. It runs on PHP 8.3 or higher and targets both small and medium enterprises and larger organizations that need accounting, inventory, HR, CRM, and project management in one system. The project lives in the PHP and Laravel ecosystem, which means it is deployed like any other Laravel application rather than as a standalone binary or appliance.

The concrete problem it solves is the cost and lock-in of commercial ERP suites. Aureus ERP covers the same operational ground through a modular plugin system, so an organization installs only the modules it needs — from accounting and invoicing to purchase orders, inventory management, manufacturing, maintenance, recruitment, HRM, and project management — instead of paying for a fixed bundle. Because the code is open and extensible, businesses can add their own plugins and modifications rather than negotiating vendor changes. The project ships with role-based access control through Filament Shield, built-in analytics and reporting, and multi-language support for localization.

Key capabilities

  • Modular plugin system that allows individual business modules to be installed and managed separately rather than as one fixed bundle.
  • Role-based access control implemented through Filament Shield integration.
  • Built-in analytics and reporting tools for business intelligence.
  • Multi-language support with translation and localization for global businesses.
  • Accounting, invoicing, and purchase order modules listed among the supported business topics.
  • Inventory management, manufacturing, and maintenance modules for operational workflows.
  • Recruitment, HRM, and project management modules covering people and project functions.

Who uses it and how

  • Small and medium enterprises deploy it as a single system for accounting, invoicing, and purchase orders instead of separate finance tools.
  • Organizations with inventory, manufacturing, or maintenance operations install the relevant plugins alongside the accounting core.
  • Human resources teams use the HRM and recruitment modules to manage staff records and hiring within the same admin panel.
  • Project-driven teams use the project management module to track work next to the finance data.
  • Businesses needing a hosted path can use AureusERP Cloud Hosting, where the team sets up, secures, and configures the instance on their own domain.

Getting started

A fully managed alternative is available through AureusERP Cloud Hosting for those who prefer not
