About

ITFlow is a free & open-source solution for IT service management, documentation, and accounting.

The Problem

• You're a busy MSP with 101 things to do.
• Information about your clients is unorganised and unstructured: scattered in random tickets or folders - when you do eventually find it, it's out of date.
• For some tickets, you spend longer looking for the relevant documentation than actually working the ticket.
• On top of the technical day to day, you also have to take care of the financial side of the business - consistent pricing, quotes/invoicing, and accounting.

The Solution: ITFlow

• ITFlow consolidates common MSP needs (ticketing, wiki/docs, CMDB and accounting) into one system to help you do what you do best - IT.

In Beta

• This project is still in early beta and is considered a work in progress. Many changes are being performed and may cause breakage upon updates.
• We strongly recommend against storing confidential information like passwords in ITFlow at this time.
• We are hoping to have a stable 1.0 release by July 2022.
