GoWind ERP is an enterprise-grade open-source ERP for small and mid-sized teams, designed around the "purchasing — inventory — finance" business loop, with the promise of no implementation consultants, half-day onboarding, and core business data fully connected end to end.
The product's core philosophy is "documents drive documents": once a purchase order is approved, a payable is generated automatically; confirming goods receipt writes back to inventory automatically; and when stock falls below the safety level, a replenishment suggestion is produced automatically — business data is entered once and flows through the whole chain automatically. Purchasing, warehousing, and finance collaborate on the same set of data, with no more shuttling spreadsheets back and forth to reconcile.
GoWind ERP is an open-source project of the GoWind ecosystem, released under the MIT license; trials, feedback, and contributions are welcome. The companion GoWind WMS (a multi-owner warehouse management system) is derived from this product's inventory module.

- Core flows built in: the purchasing, inventory, and finance main lines work out of the box, with no on-site consultant configuration
- Initialization upon registration: tenant initialization completes automatically once multi-tenant registration is done, saving the one-time cost of system setup
- Half-day onboarding: UI and flows match real business operations, keeping the learning cost low for small and mid-sized teams
- Approval generates payables: once a purchase order is approved, the payable is generated automatically — no second entry by finance
- Goods receipt writes back to inventory: confirming receipt updates inventory automatically, keeping books and stock from the same source
- Automatic replenishment for low stock: when stock falls below the safety level, replenishment suggestions are generated automatically, so stocking up has a basis
- Data fully connected: documents trigger each other automatically; purchasing, warehousing, and finance share one set of business data
- Inventory state machine: all inventory changes flow through a state machine, making states predictable and traceable
- Atomic cross-warehouse transfers: transfer orders execute atomically as transactions, with no intermediate state where "the source warehouse was debited but the destination not credited"
- Idempotent reversals: reversal operations are idempotent — repeated submissions never create duplicate reversals
- Unified approval track: key documents go through the unified approval flow, with records fully logged and queryable
- No self-review or self-approval: submitter and approver are forcibly separated, eliminating self-approval
- Approval center: centralized to-do handling, combined with in-app message reminders, so no approval is missed
- Flutter app: a native mobile client for handling business anytime, anywhere
- Scan-based operations: complete on-site operations by scanning, reducing manual entry errors
- Mobile approvals: handle pending approvals from your phone at any time
- Business dashboard: managers keep an eye on the business from mobile
- Multi-tenant architecture: data is isolated between tenants; multiple teams share one deployment
- Initialization upon registration: tenant base data is initialized automatically once registration completes — register and use immediately
- Fine-grained permissions: organization, role, and button-level permissions controlled layer by layer, with end-to-end auditing

The GoWind ERP backend is built on the go-kratos microservice framework, uses Ent as ORM, and stores data in PostgreSQL; the admin console is built on Vue3 + Ant Design Vue with Vben Admin as the template base; the mobile client is a Flutter app.
Deployment uses docker-compose to bring up the middleware in one command (PostgreSQL, Redis, MinIO, etcd — all bound to 127.0.0.1), while the application side provides two service entries: admin BFF (:6600) and app BFF (:6700). For detailed deployment steps, see the docs/deployment.md deployment documentation in the repository.
For developers: clone the repository and follow docs/deployment.md to complete a local deployment. Issues and PRs are welcome for co-building.
