Most small shop owners never get a proper ERP. The software costs too much, and setting it up usually means hiring a consultant who understands module lists and hundreds of switches.
We built Mosaic ERP to change that. It's free and open source (MIT). Instead of a settings maze, it asks the owner plain questions: do you keep stock, do you buy from suppliers on credit, how does a normal sale work, which currency. Then it sets up the working ERP from the answers, and the owner reviews every change before it's saved.
Mosaic ERP v2.0 by Hearthplug is a free, open-source retail ERP shaped by an owner interview. New: review supplier bill photos and paper credit/stock records before recording; count cash and close the day with a WhatsApp summary; optional voice entry with a configured transcription provider; AI provider choice including local servers; in-app update notices and pre-upgrade backup; more regional starter templates. Windows x64, Apple Silicon Mac, Docker. Photos need a vision provider.
