LedgerSMB is a double-entry accounting and business management application designed for small and medium-sized enterprises. It integrates general ledger accounting with purchasing, sales, customer management and inventory control.
The application originated as a fork of SQL-Ledger, with particular attention to data integrity, security and accounting workflows. It uses PostgreSQL for data storage and provides a browser-based interface through which authorised users can access financial and operational records.
LedgerSMB is intended for businesses that need more than a basic bookkeeping package. Rather than maintaining separate records for orders, invoices and payments, the software connects these activities within a common accounting system.
It also provides customisable business documents and reporting facilities. Users can generate information for internal financial management or produce documents for customers and suppliers.
This is free and open source software.
