Django-CRM

Django-CRM is an open-source customer relationship management application built on the Django framework and the Django Admin interface. It combines contact and lead management, deal tracking, task/project collaboration, email synchronization, and reporting into a single self-hostable package.

Key Features

• Contact, lead, company and deal management with sales funnel and forecasting tools
• Task, subtask and project management with reminders, file attachments, tags and internal chat per task
• Built-in email client with IMAP/SMTP synchronization, ticketing-style message linking, and OAuth2 support for providers
• Mass mailing / email campaign features with dynamic templates and contact segmentation
• Analytics and reporting apps (income summary, sales funnel, lead source summary, custom reports)
• Role-based access control and per-object permissions using Django's auth system
• Extensible via standard Django models, views and templates for straightforward customization and integrations
• Localization and multi-language support with interface translations

Use Cases

• Small to medium businesses managing leads, contacts and sales pipelines without vendor lock-in
• Teams coordinating customer-facing tasks and projects while maintaining a unified communication history
• Marketing teams sending segmented newsletters and tracking campaign engagement from within the CRM

Limitations and Considerations

• The UI is based on Django Admin which provides rapid development and strong permissions but may feel less modern than custom SPA frontends and can require template work to customize appearance and UX
• Bulk email deliverability depends on external SMTP configuration and reputation; administrators must configure and monitor SMTP providers and deliverability practices
• Scalability and performance depend on deployment choices and database tuning; very large datasets may require PostgreSQL and additional optimization

Django-CRM is suitable for organizations that want full control over their CRM data and behavior and are comfortable extending a Django-based codebase. It prioritizes extensibility, transparency, and integration with standard Python/Django tooling.
