Corteza is an open-source low-code platform for building CRM, business process, and other structured-data applications. It combines an app builder, workflow automation, and an API-first backend to help teams model data and deliver internal tools quickly.
Key Features
- Low-code app building for structured data (records, fields, pages, and modules)
- Workflow automation and scripting to orchestrate business processes
- API-centric architecture for integrations and external application development
- Role-based access control (RBAC) for fine-grained permissions
- Privacy and compliance-oriented features to support regulated environments
- Customization options including terminology, translations, and reusable app configurations
Use Cases
- Building internal CRM and case-management systems tailored to your processes
- Creating operational tools (requests, approvals, inventories) with automated workflows
- Integrating multiple systems via APIs to unify data entry and reporting
Corteza is suited to organizations that need flexible, self-controlled business applications without committing to a proprietary low-code ecosystem. Its focus on standards, security, and extensibility makes it a strong foundation for long-lived internal platforms.
