What is OroCRM?

OroCRM pushes enterprise readiness with SCIM provisioning and built-in invoicing

OroCRM is advancing on parallel tracks: a 7.0 release candidate maturing the API layer, a 6.1 line adding native invoicing, and enterprise identity work via SCIM user provisioning. The entries skew toward platform and integration depth rather than front-end features.

What is Less Annoying CRM?

Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact

LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.

OroCRM vs Less Annoying CRM: editorial side-by-side

O0.0

OroCRM pushes enterprise readiness with SCIM provisioning and built-in invoicing

◆ Current state

OroCRM is advancing on parallel tracks: a 7.0 release candidate maturing the API layer, a 6.1 line adding native invoicing, and enterprise identity work via SCIM user provisioning. The entries skew toward platform and integration depth rather than front-end features.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is enterprise B2B commerce maturity — automated user lifecycle (SCIM), invoice generation and delivery inside the CRM, and a more capable API (meta filters, UUID types). Oro is positioning as a back-office platform, not just a CRM.

◆ Prediction

Expect 7.0 to GA with the expanded API surface, and SCIM plus invoicing to anchor Oro's enterprise and commerce pitch.

L5.0

Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact

◆ Current state

LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.

◆ Where it's heading

The work stays on the daily record view: making the current state of a client easier to see as history grows. No AI, pricing or integration moves appear in the entries.

◆ Prediction

More small record-view and search features, either one at a time or as another bundle, are the likely next step.
