What is izhubs?
The short version
Section titled “The short version”iZ ERP is WordPress, but for running a business — not a website.
Same philosophy: tiny core, extend with modules, self-host with one command, MIT license. Built for founders who run their company like a developer runs a project: fast, AI-assisted, no IT team needed.
Why it exists
Section titled “Why it exists”Most business tools have one of these problems:
- Too expensive — Salesforce charges $150/user/month and needs a consultant
- Too complex — Odoo takes weeks to configure
- Too limited — Notion/Airtable breaks when you hit 500+ contacts
- Too locked-in — Can’t export your data cleanly when you want to leave
izhubs solves this by being a platform, not a product. You install what you need, build what you’re missing, and own your data completely.
Who it’s for
Section titled “Who it’s for”iZ ERP is built for vibe entrepreneurs — solo founders or tiny teams (1–10 people) who:
- Are outgrowing Google Sheets and Notion
- Want real structured data to make decisions with
- Can self-host (or hire someone who can for 30 minutes)
- Expect their tools to be fast, beautiful, and not require training
iZ ERP is not for large enterprises, and it’s not trying to be.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”iZ ERP uses a 4-tier architecture inspired by WordPress:
| Tier | What it is | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Core Engine | Immutable foundation | Auth, RBAC, EventBus, migrations |
| CRM Module | Always-on business layer | Contacts, Deals, Companies |
| Platform Modules | Switchable features | Search, Import, API keys |
| Community Extensions | Third-party add-ons | Automation, Billing, Sync |
