Nexus puts HR, CRM, sales and project management in one application. It uses one database and one login, so an employee, a CRM contact and a project member are the same person in the same system. You buy it once and run it on your own server.
Three tools, one system
-
HR and people
Employees, departments, org chart, onboarding, attendance, leave, payroll and performance reviews.
-
CRM and sales
Leads, deals in weighted pipelines, quotes that convert to invoices, contracts and support tickets.
-
Projects and time
Tasks in list, board, Gantt and calendar views, with a timer that turns billable hours into an invoice.
What it replaces
- Separate HR software
- Employees, attendance, leave, payroll and recruitment next to sales and projects, with one employee record instead of three
- A separate CRM
- Leads, pipelines, quotes, invoices and contracts, connected to the people who deliver the work
- A separate project tool
- Tasks, Gantt, sprints and time tracking that become a client invoice, with no retyping of billable hours
- A support desk
- Tickets with response targets and a client portal
- Approval spreadsheets
- Leave, timesheets and expense claims go through a real approval queue
- A contract signing tool
- Send contracts for online signing, with the signing time and IP address recorded
How the pieces connect
- Win the deal. A lead moves through your pipeline. The quote converts into an invoice with discounts and tax.
- Deliver the work. The project has tasks, dependencies and a timer. Your team logs time against tasks.
- Bill it. Approved billable time and expenses collect into a draft invoice, and each entry is marked as billed so it cannot be invoiced twice.
- Hire for the next one. A careers page feeds a candidate board. Hiring a candidate creates their employee record.
A portal for your clients
Clients get their own login, separate from your internal admin. They can view invoices, accept quotes, sign contracts and raise support tickets.
Control who sees what
Permissions are enforced on every route, not only by hiding menu items, with roles and per-project access for viewers, members and managers. There is also a REST API with scoped tokens for employees, leads, deals, invoices, tickets, projects, tasks and time entries.
Good to know. Payroll tax rules vary by country and change often, so taxes and contributions are set up as ordinary deduction components with your own rates. Nexus records payments against invoices but does not process cards, so pair it with your payment provider.
What it costs
Nexus starts at $24, paid once. That includes the source code, free updates for life and 6 months of support. There is no per-user fee. See all prices and what owning costs over five years.
Where it runs
Nexus needs PHP 8.3 and MySQL or MariaDB. It does not need cron, a queue worker, Redis, WebSockets or Node.js, so if your host runs Laravel and MySQL, Nexus runs there. See the server requirements.
Questions
Do I need all three parts?
No. They share one database, and you can use the parts that fit your business.
Can I run it for a client?
Yes, with the Extended licence, one licence per client project. See for agencies.
Can I sell it as a subscription to other companies?
That is what Nexus SaaS is for. It adds a multi-tenant layer and a Super Admin panel. See launch a SaaS.
Does it support right-to-left languages?
Yes, including full Arabic, managed from a built-in translation editor.

Yes. The Nexus page links to a live demo.
