# open-mercato/open-mercato

The AI-Engineering Foundation Framework for CRM/ERP and commerce: open-source TypeScript, with multi-tenancy, RBAC, events and domain modules already decided as conventions and specs, so Cursor, Claude Code and Codex build features instead of re-deciding architecture. Start with 80% done.

## What it is
Open Mercato is an open-source TypeScript foundation framework for building CRM, ERP, and commerce applications on Next.js, with multi-tenancy, RBAC, events, and domain modules pre-built as conventions and specs. It is designed to be 'AI-native', providing an architecture-aware harness so coding agents like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex generate consistent, spec-compliant features.

## Use cases
- build a self-hosted CRM with custom workflows
- launch a B2B commerce or CPQ backend
- build an ERP with orders, catalog, and service modules
- expose typed APIs for mobile and web apps on a shared data model
- let AI coding agents generate features that follow team architecture conventions
- build internal business apps with multi-tenancy and RBAC out of the box

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made CRM/ERP/commerce foundation you can extend rather than build from scratch
- your team uses AI coding assistants and needs enforced architecture and specs for consistent output
- you need multi-tenancy, RBAC, audit, and encryption as built-in conventions
- you want full code ownership and self-hosting without per-seat SaaS pricing

## When to avoid
- you need a lightweight microservice or simple API without business-app scaffolding
- your stack is not TypeScript/Next.js/PostgreSQL
- you need a mature, battle-tested ERP with years of production hardening
- you prefer fully custom architecture decisions over opinionated conventions

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
