Twenty is the leading open-source CRM, crafted by hundreds of contributors to suit your unique business needs.
|
|
|
|
## Vision
|
|
Creating a good CRM is hard because it's a balancing act.
|
|
For each business, the requirements seem straightforward, yet everyone's needs are distinct.
|
|
The result is a CRM that's either too basic, or one that's attempting to be a jack-of-all-trades but ending up as a master of none.
|
|
|
|
At first, Twenty looks like most CRMs you already know: you can track deals, organize contacts, manage tasks and notes.
|
|
But what sets it apart is our approach to extensibility. We are building an open platform that provides the building blocks for you to solve your unique business problems.
|
|
|
|
We prioritize universal principles and common patterns over feature lists.
|
|
We don't try to have all the answers and instead empower users to find what works best for them.
|
|
Open-source is the bedrock of our approach, ensuring that Twenty evolves with its community, for its community.
|
