krayin/laravel-crm
Free & Opensource Laravel CRM solution for SMEs and Enterprises for complete customer lifecycle management.
Krayin is a self-hosted CRM built on Laravel 10 + Vue 3, targeting SMEs that want Salesforce-style features (leads, pipelines, quotes, activities, email parsing) without the price tag. It uses a modular package architecture under packages/Webkul/, so each domain (Activity, Lead, Contact, Mail) is its own Composer package. Aimed at PHP shops that already run Laravel infrastructure.
The modular Webkul package structure means you can swap or extend individual CRM domains without touching the core — a real advantage over monolithic CRMs. Email parsing via IMAP/SendGrid is wired in out of the box, not bolted on. The DataGrid system abstracts tabular data with filtering, sorting, and saved filters already handled. 22k stars with active commits through June 2026 suggests it's not abandonware.
The README ships with default credentials (admin@example.com / admin123) and tells you to change them in .env — easy to forget in rushed deployments, and that's a genuine risk. The monorepo-as-packages pattern adds friction: running tests, tracing a bug across packages, or upgrading a single module requires understanding the Concord module system, which has almost no documentation outside the project itself. Multi-tenancy is a paid extension, not included — the MIT license applies to the core but the SaaS features cost money. No API-first design visible; the REST layer appears bolted on rather than designed in, which limits headless or integration use cases.
