How Are You Extending EspoCRM Beyond Standard Use Cases?

[Difusleas]

I'm curious how others in the community are using EspoCRM in ways that go beyond traditional CRM functions. Have you built any custom entities, integrated with unusual platforms, or repurposed it for non-sales workflows (e.g., project management, HR, support systems)?

Would love to hear about your creative or unexpected implementations—especially if they’ve helped your team or business in unique ways.

If you want, you could call espoCRM also a (nearly) non coding software platform. You can use it for many apps, which come to your mind, mostly when you need a database.
I am not a developer, but with espoCRM I already have built:

App for webdesign freelancer to administrate customers and projects, as well including the whole bookkeeping part (Invoice etc.)
App for inventary of a client, who deals with antique design furniture and objects
App to administrate a music workshop including participants, teachers and all the necessary stuff
Database to compare softwares of a certain niche
My main app is a catalogue raisonée (a database for artwork) for artists, active or not

Some of these are connected to Wordpress and I can populate Wordpress pages directly from espoCRM.
In some I have integrated the possibility to generate Newsletters.

espoCRM is a great software and has an active community as well as some very dedicated third party developer.

We use for project management internally (the paid extension). And are happier than it was when we used Asana. More due to much quicker page loading and having anything in one place.
