Overview

Overview

Ever Gauzy Platform is an open business management solution designed for collaborative, on-demand, and sharing economies. It unifies Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Human Resource Management (HRM), Applicant Tracking (ATS), and project management into a cohesive headless platform.

Capabilities

The platform delivers end-to-end business operations support: employee time tracking with activity monitoring, financial management including invoicing and accounting, sales pipelines, inventory and supply chain tools, and comprehensive reporting. Its headless API architecture enables integration with custom frontends and third-party services like Upwork and HubStaff.

Deployment Options

Gauzy offers flexible deployment through SaaS (currently in alpha), self-hosted server installations, or standalone desktop applications for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Organizations can run the full platform via Gauzy Server with PostgreSQL or SQLite, deploy the all-in-one Desktop App for quick trials, or distribute the lightweight Desktop Timer App to employees focused solely on time tracking. Multi-currency, multi-language support and granular role-based permissions accommodate diverse organizational structures.
