## What it is
Apache OFBiz is an open-source Java-based framework and suite of business applications for automating enterprise processes. It bundles an entity engine, service engine, and widget-based UI with out-of-the-box ERP, CRM, e-commerce, warehouse, and manufacturing modules.

## Use cases
- run an open source ERP for my business
- set up an e-commerce platform with order management
- manage accounting, inventory, and warehousing
- implement manufacturing and MRP workflows
- build a custom enterprise web application on a Java framework
- self-host a CRM system

## When to choose
- you need a mature, free, vendor-lock-in-free ERP/CRM suite you can extend
- you want a Java web framework with entity and service engines for business apps
- you need integrated e-commerce, accounting, and manufacturing in one system

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight microservice or a simple CRUD app
- your team is not prepared to learn OFBiz's entity/service/widget architecture and XML/Groovy conventions
- you only need a small subset like invoicing - a dedicated tool may be simpler
