xTuple’s multi-client approach empowers customers to leverage today’s — and tomorrow’s
— technology, especially employee preferences to BYOD (bring your own device). Users
may access xTuple via our 100% JavaScript, HTML5 Web
browser-based application, which works on any modern tablet,
smartphone or desktop computer, as well as the classic xTuple
Desktop client, with native apps on Windows, Mac and Linux.
All client options work from the same server, powered by the
world’s most advanced open source database, PostgreSQL.
Security
Several layers of security are available with xTuple. A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection
may be utilized or also enable an enhanced authentication mechanism that scrambles your
users’ passwords. Individual privileges within the system, in as much detail as desired, may
also be assigned.
Modularity
Discrete pieces of the system may be utilized separately, without having to implement an entire
ERP system. More functionality detail is available on these modules:

The Corporate Relationship Management (CRM) Module covers much more than just customers. A CRM Account can have any number of relationships, including Prospect, Customer, Vendor, Partner, and Competitor. Individual Contacts are associated with Accounts as well.
Integrated Opportunity Management tracks pre-sales activity. There’s even basic Project Management with the
ability to associate Quotes, Sales Orders, Work Orders and Purchase Orders with individual Projects. The integrated Corporate/Customer Relationship Management functionality is crucial to maximizing xTuple
business software (PostBooks as well as Commercial Editions). xTuple’s CRM allows you to organize,
synchronize and manage ALL of your business contacts and communications, including sales and marketing opportunities, customer incident management, to-do lists and projects, and more.
