What Kewos ERP is

Kewos ERP is a business management system: sales, purchasing, stock, accounting, people, projects, and whatever you add to it.

It runs on your own machines, under a Kewos licence.

What you get

  • Business modules you switch on or off as you need them. Switching one on makes its screens and its menu appear, with no redeployment.
  • A screen engine: views are described, not coded. You adapt a list, a form or a dashboard without touching the application’s code.
  • Fine-grained permissions: by group, by record, by field.
  • Your data on your side: one database per customer, exportable, with no external service needed to keep running.
  • Multilingual and multi-company as standard.

What you need

A Kewos licenceRequired. Without one the server does not start. See Getting a licence.
A serverLinux, four cores and 8 GB of memory to begin with.
A PostgreSQL databaseVersion 16 or later.
A domain name and a certificateThe product runs behind your own reverse proxy.

The shortest path

  1. Get a licence, a trial or a full one.
  2. Install: fetch your release, run it, apply your licence.
  3. Go live: the handful of settings to get right before you open the door.

After that, if you want to extend the product, the Build section walks through writing a module end to end.

Three words you will meet everywhere

A module: one business domain, shipped as a whole. Sales, Stock, Accounting. It installs and uninstalls without breaking the others.

A view: a screen. A list, a form, a dashboard. It is described, not programmed.

A group: a set of rights. A user carries one or more, and they decide what that person sees and may change.
