About the Company:

Crust provides a flexible, self-hosted platform for your organisation to work and communicate internally while engaging with its customers, suppliers, partners and other third parties externally.

Its integrated approach to identity, messaging and business logic delivers a simple-to-use yet extensible means for managing users and the applications they require every day, whether in the cloud, behind the firewall or a hybrid of the two.

Crust CRM, Messaging, Unify and Compose can all be tailored to your organisation’s commercial, technological and human architectures. The Crust platform capabilities will be expanded over time to incorporate such features as cross-application automated workflows, Internet of Things (IoT) management and federated messaging.

Crust Technology is headquartered in Ireland, but the Crust team is based across many countries.

A New Approach to Enterprise User Experience A New Approach to Enterprise User Experience Crust is a completely open source platform for managing ALL your users – Staff, Customers, Partners, Suppliers – and the applications, communication and business logic they use. Advanced Identity and Access Management, Messaging and Customer Relationship Management form the heart of Crust, while its API-oriented nature ensure that Crust is extensible and flexible.

What’s in a Name? “Crust” refers to the earth’s crust, the layer of the planet which we inhabit. Much goes on beneath the Crust graphical interface, but the point of Crust is to make sure that the user experience is pleasant and intuitive, that user data is handled securely and consistently, and that your organisation has the controls required to operate smoothly at whatever scale it chooses.

Self-Hosted, Hybrid or in the Cloud? Crust is yours to use how you wish. Simple to deploy, massively scalable and cloud-ready by default, Crust sets a new standard for enterprise control.
