Nexus - HR, CRM & Project Management System

Nexus runs the people, the pipeline and the projects out of one Laravel application. Employees, attendance, leave and payroll. Leads, deals, quotes, invoices, contracts and support tickets. Projects, tasks, sprints, time and the invoice that comes out the other end. One install, one database, one login.There is no separate “employee” record. The person who books leave is the same row as the person who owns the deal and the person assigned the task. That is not a schema detail — it is why a developer’s logged hours become a client invoice without anybody retyping a name, why a sales manager’s approvals queue already knows who reports to them, and why nothing has to be kept in step by hand.Everything is self-hosted, and it runs where you already host. No cron job. No queue worker. No Redis, no websockets, no Node on the server. If it can run Laravel and MySQL, it can run Nexus.Why buyers pick NexusThree systems in one, actually joined up. HR, CRM & Sales and Projects share one directory of people, one permission model, one calendar, one search box and one activity log. Buy it for one module and the other two are already there when you need them.It installs in a browser. A six-step wizard checks the server, tests the database, writes .env, migrates, seeds and creates your account. No SSH, no editing config files.It runs on shared hosting, by design. Nothing is scheduled and nothing is queued. Email goes out inline; recurring invoices wait for a button that is safe to press twice. The constraint is deliberate — a product that needs a background worker is a product a shared host cannot run.Permissions are real. Twelve sections, seven starting roles, and the middleware on the route is the guard — not a hidden menu link. Self-service and manager approvals need no permission at all, because managing your own team is not the same as running HR.Clients get their own front door. A separate portal where they read invoices, accept quotes, sign contracts and raise tickets — not the back office with pieces hidden.8 languages out of the box, including full RTL Arabic — plus a built-in translation editor, so adding a ninth never needs a developer or a template file.It tells you what it does not do. There is a section below for that. Every link in the sidebar opens a real screen.Feature list1. Web installerA guided, six-step first-run wizard. Every address on a fresh copy redirects into it.Requirements — PHP version, twelve extensions and six writable paths, each shown pass or fail, with a re-check button. Nothing has been written yet.Company — name, currency and timezone. An application key is generated for you.Database — host, port, name, user and password, with a Test connection button that verifies before it commits. If the database does not exist, Nexus creates it, provided your database user may.Administrator — your account, with the admin role.Sample data — an optional twelve-person demo company, on a tick box, so you can walk into a populated system instead of an empty one.Review & install — writes .env, migrates, seeds the reference data and creates your account. The log narrates each step and stops exactly where a failure happened.Nothing is written until the last step: the wizard holds your answers in the session, so an abandoned install can never leave a deployment with a rewritten .env pointing at a database that was never migrated. Once finished, the installer seals itself off and /setup redirects away.2. Roles, permissions & locationsTwelve permission sections — employees, attendance, leave, payroll, recruitment, performance, CRM, sales, support, projects, reports, settings. Each is a tick box on a person’s record.
