CRM Rukovoditel PRO
Project history
The project's history begins in November 2014. Over more than 10 years, the project has come a long way: from a «simple Project Management» it has grown into a full-fledged web application constructor platform.
In 2026, the team is releasing the PRO version — with a new interface, improved architecture and expanded automation capabilities. At the same time, the key principles from the very beginning have been preserved: full control over data, freedom of customization and running on your own server.
Why the team rewrote the core
The current model, where there is one large extension, is difficult to maintain in practice. As a result, the functionality becomes excessive: if the project continues to develop in this direction, it will inevitably lead to increased server load — even if part of the functionality is not used.
Therefore, the team decided to completely rewrite the program core and split the functionality into separate plugins. This way, each user connects only what they need, and the system remains light and manageable.
CRM Rukovoditel PRO — a separate development branch
The PRO version is a separate development branch of the program, not a continuation of the current one. Therefore, there is currently no migration to PRO.
In the future, it will appear, but only in a limited form: only entities and fields can be transferred. Other reports will have to be configured anew — in PRO they are configured differently.
What is included in PRO
The base version is distributed free of charge, without restrictions on the number of users and data in the system.
- License: GNU GPLv3.
- Source code: open — you can study it, modify it, create plugins and integrations.
Distribution model: free core with automation and interface — plus separate plugins for additional capabilities (SMS and Email notifications, Excel export, counters and others). You connect only what you need.
The interface is divided into three parts
- Administrator panel — administrators have their own account and their own interface for configuring the application.
- Main interface — here users enter data into the CRM.
- Public part — you can set up a small website. It is suitable when you need to present data from the CRM or place a public form for collecting data.
The main feature — automation in the core
The key difference of PRO is automation built into the program core. You configure the CRM logic yourself: create processes that precisely match your business scenarios.
Different launch types are available — by button, on an event, or by schedule: this way you choose when and how automation triggers.
Each process is a chain of predefined actions: for example, changing field values or creating a new record. For fine-tuning, you set filters and access rights: this way you can precisely define who sees the process button and under which conditions it should trigger.
Who PRO is for
- Those who are starting a new project and want a light system without extra functionality.
- Those who use the base version without the add-on.
- Those who value automation out of the box.
Who it is too early for: those who have already deeply configured the current version with the add-on and depend on ready-made reports. There is no migration, and settings will have to be transferred manually. In addition, some functionality — for example, Calendar, Gantt chart and Kanban — is not yet implemented in PRO and is only planned.
