Axelor CRM: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Axelor CRM is the customer relationship management module of the Axelor business application suite, which also covers ERP, BPM and web portals on a low-code base. It handles contacts and leads, an opportunity pipeline with quotes, calendar events synchronised with external calendars, email and marketing campaigns, and support tickets with service-level monitoring and a customer portal. Fields and workflows can be adapted with a studio and a built-in BPM tool, and integrations include Gmail, Outlook/Office 365 and Brevo. Mobile apps for iOS and Android exist. The CRM shares one database with the other modules.

Axelor Group lists an address in Champs-sur-Marne, France. According to its data security and processing policy, it hosts customer data on dedicated servers it manages at OVH sites in Gravelines, Roubaix or Strasbourg, all in France. Axelor describes the CRM as open source, so organisations can also install it themselves; the site provides an installation guide. The pages consulted name no foreign parent company.
