🔥 Cordys CRM 是新一代开源 AI CRM 系统，融合信息化、数字化与智能化，为私有化部署而生。
Cordys CRM is a self-hosted, open-source CRM system from the team behind 1Panel and JumpServer, built in Spring Boot + Vue, targeting Chinese enterprises that want to run their own Salesforce alternative. It covers the full lead-to-cash pipeline: leads, contacts, opportunities, contracts, invoices, and payment tracking, with approval workflows and BI via DataEase integration.
The team actually ate their own dogfood — they replaced their internal Salesforce with this in July 2025, which is meaningful signal. The approval workflow system (v1.7.0) is properly modeled with nodes, conditions, versioned flows, and RBAC, not bolted on as an afterthought. Docker single-command deployment with offline install support is genuinely useful for air-gapped enterprise environments. The CRM Skills / MCP server interface for AI assistants is a practical idea: exposing CRM operations as LLM-callable tools rather than just adding a chatbot sidebar.
The license is a custom FIT2CLOUD variant of GPLv3 that bans removing their logo and branding — this is a commercial lock-in move dressed as open source, and it will block any serious white-label or OEM use case. The codebase is almost entirely in Chinese (comments, class names, documentation), which will be a hard barrier for non-Chinese-speaking teams trying to contribute or evaluate internals. MySQL + Redis is a reasonable but heavy dependency stack for a self-hosted tool aimed at small teams; there's no lighter deployment path. The AI features are integration wrappers around external tools (MaxKB, SQLBot, OpenClaw) rather than anything built in, so the 'AI CRM' framing depends entirely on whether you run that external ecosystem too.
