# Start with 80% done — AI CRM/ERP Framework for Developers

**AI-Engineering Foundation Framework** built with AI and designed for AI. Hundreds of architectural and domain decisions (multi-tenancy, RBAC, event flow, pricing, sales pipeline, CRM/ERP processes) are already encoded as conventions and specs.

## For Developers

## For Enterprise Clients

### Try in Cloud Sandbox

## AI-Engineering Foundation Framework.

> “Open Mercato gives teams the speed of SaaS with the flexibility of custom dev. It's the end of vendor lock-in.” Piotr Karwatka CEO & AI Evangelist, Open Mercato

### Security & Infrastructure

### Business Logic

### Performance & AI

## Modify nothing. Extend everything.

### Core is a light dependency

A versioned npm package you install, never fork. Overlays replace behavior at build time so you can always update without fear.

### Extend everything

Overrides live in your layer, not the core. Replace modules and workflows safely. The foundation stays intact.

### Your agents write code

Specs ship with the repo from day one. Agents write architecture-aware code. Changes stay consistent and safe.

## Case Studies

### Air&Ocean Logistics ERP

FreightTech.org built a fully owned logistics ERP on Open Mercato in 6 weeks — covering CRM with automated quote handling, estimated vs. actual cost control, and live Track & Trace integration with major shipping lines and AIS vessel positioning data. One platform for the full operational cycle. No license fees, no lock-in. A secure portal where DBAs can't read PII: per-tenant encryption, field-level AES-GCM and a full audit trail — ready for regulated environments.

## Who’s using this?

### Enterprise teams

Launch new products without the 6-month infrastructure tax.

### Software houses

Sell reusable solutions, not developer hours.

### Teams leaving low-code

Keep the speed, own the code.
