Twenty CRM — The Open-Source Modern CRM

An open-source, developer-friendly CRM built as a modern alternative to Salesforce, deployed and customised by Apeiron Technologies for teams that want to own their data.

Twenty CRM — The Open-Source Modern CRM

The Modern, Open-Source CRM — Deployed and Customised by Apeiron

Most sales teams don't hate CRMs because CRMs are hard. They hate them because legacy CRMs are built for the person buying the license, not the person using it every day. Endless custom objects, forms with twenty required fields, opaque data models, and a per-seat bill that grows faster than the pipeline.

Twenty CRM takes the opposite bet: an open-source, developer-friendly, radically clean CRM built as a modern alternative to Salesforce and HubSpot. Apeiron Technologies deploys, extends and operates Twenty for teams that want a fast, beautiful CRM and full ownership of their data.

Twenty CRM — Build your Enterprise CRM at AI Speed

Why Twenty CRM

Twenty is written in TypeScript on top of React, NestJS and PostgreSQL, released under an open-source license, and shaped by a public roadmap on GitHub (49k+ stars). What that means in practice:

  • You own the database. Every record lives in your PostgreSQL instance — no vendor lock-in, no export fees.
  • The data model is yours to shape. Custom objects and fields are first-class, not a paid add-on.
  • The UI is genuinely modern. Keyboard-first, spreadsheet-like tables, Kanban boards, saved views, dark mode, and an "Ask AI" side panel — not a 2010 form generator.
  • The pricing scales with infrastructure, not seats. Self-host on your own cloud or let Apeiron run it for you.

What we built with Twenty

1. A pipeline that a salesperson actually opens on Monday morning

We configured a deal pipeline with the stages the team really uses — New, Screening, Meeting, Customer — with drag-and-drop between columns, inline edits, filters and saved views per rep. The "Ask AI" panel generates the right board from a plain-English brief, so ops stops being the bottleneck.

2. Context that lives with the record

Every company and every contact carries its own timeline, tasks, notes, files, emails and calendar events. No more digging through five tools to reconstruct a deal. Emails from Gmail and Microsoft 365 are attached to the right record automatically, and tasks stay one keyboard shortcut away.

Twenty CRM — Tasks and inbox attached to the record

3. Custom objects for the business, not just "Contacts and Deals"

Twenty lets us model whatever the client actually sells — Projects, Loans, Vessels, Subscriptions, Tenders — as first-class objects with their own fields, views and relations. The API and webhooks are generated automatically, so the rest of the stack (billing, product, data warehouse) can plug in on day one.

4. Automations and AI, native

  • Workflows trigger on record changes, form submissions, or on a schedule — send emails, update fields, call a webhook, post to Slack.
  • Ask AI answers questions grounded in your CRM data ("show my open deals over $50k with no activity in 14 days") and can draft the next email in the thread.
  • Custom serverless functions run inside Twenty, so any bespoke logic stays close to the data.

The Apeiron delivery

Every Twenty deployment we run follows the same disciplined path:

  1. Discovery — map the objects, stages, roles and integrations the client actually needs. Kill the noise.
  2. Self-hosted setup — Twenty on the client's cloud (AWS, GCP, OVH, or on-prem), behind their SSO, with automated backups and observability.
  3. Data migration — clean import from Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Airtable or spreadsheets, with a mapping the team can audit.
  4. Custom objects and workflows — the pieces that make Twenty their CRM.
  5. Integrations — Gmail / Microsoft 365, Slack, Stripe, the client's product database, invoicing, data warehouse.
  6. Enablement and support — training the team, then an SLA-backed run mode where Apeiron keeps the platform healthy and evolving.

The outcome

Teams that switch to Twenty with us typically see:

  • Faster adoption — reps update records because the UI doesn't fight them.
  • Lower CRM bill — self-hosted, no per-seat tax on a growing team.
  • Full data ownership — the CRM becomes a real source of truth the rest of the stack can trust.
  • A CRM that keeps up — new objects, new workflows and AI features ship in days, not quarters.

Want the same setup?

If your team has outgrown a legacy CRM or is about to sign a five-figure renewal, Apeiron Technologies can stand up a production-grade Twenty instance, migrate your data, and tailor it to how you actually sell.
