Four enterprise applications, engineered as one.
Both a product line and the platform's own demonstration. ERP, CRM, HR and Project Management — running on the same supervised runtime, with zero front-end code and every platform-core capability inherited. Operate Apps as-is, extend it with your own modules, or use it as a model to rebuild on the platform underneath.
Source-available, not open-source
For the enterprises and partners we work with — large operators wanting a base they own, and regional SIs wanting a private-label product line. Premium, exclusive, designed for the few.
Proof of the platform
Every Apps capability — multi-tenancy, audit trail, row and column security, AI inside the permission perimeter, observability as SQL — comes from the platform core. No app re-implements them; no app can. Apps is what an enterprise application looks like when the runtime carries the load.
Cloud and on-premises
Deployable on customer infrastructure or on cloud-ready configurations. The choice is the customer's, not ours; the platform is the same on either side.
A real partner channel
Private-label distribution for regional partners. Margin, training, and a serious platform underneath. Apply to join.
The Apps in the suite
Four applications. One platform. Source-available.
Operate it. Extend it. Or use it as a model to rebuild.
Apps is a product line for buyers who want a packaged suite. For buyers who want the runtime, Apps is also a working reference architecture they can extend or replace on the platform underneath.
Operate
Use Apps as the product. Standard installation on customer infrastructure or cloud. The team operates the apps; the engineering team operates the platform underneath. The product roadmap is ours; the operational responsibility is shared by contract.
Extend
Build custom modules on top of Apps, on the same metadata model. Custom code lives in the same Dictionary the suite lives in. The extensions inherit every platform-core capability — security, audit, observability, AI, OLTP and OLAP portability — automatically. No bolt-on integration; the custom modules are simply more rows in the dictionary.
Rebuild
Treat Apps as the reference architecture and rebuild your internal applications on the platform — app by app, module by module. The engineering team uses Apps as a blueprint, the platform as the runtime. This is the modernisation path for organisations whose business model can't run on a packaged suite.
Where Airtool Apps sits — and where it doesn't
| Open-source ERP (Odoo, ERPNext) | SaaS ERP (NetSuite, S/4HANA Cloud) | Airtool Apps | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Audience | Mass-market, low-margin, commodity | Multinational, premium-priced, multi-country | ✓ Large enterprise base extenders + regional partners |
| Source code | Public; community-driven | Never | ✓ Available to the customer or partner under licence |
| Architecture quality | Variable; community-extended | High, but vendor-managed | ✓ Owned engineering team, supervised platform |
| Partner channel | Crowded, low-margin | Tightly controlled, configurator-led | ✓ Private-label, real margin, real product |
| AI / MCP / observability | Add-on, third-party | Vendor-managed, opaque | ✓ Native to the platform, governed |
| Engineering team behind it | Distributed, contributor-mixed | Vendor's; customer waits on the roadmap | ✓ Same team that built the platform |
