Business Application Development

AtroCore is an open-source platform for the business applications that standard software does not cover. Instead of starting from an empty repository, you configure your entities, fields, relations, layouts, user roles and workflows directly in the admin interface, and write code only for the logic that is genuinely specific to your business. What you get is a working application with its own data model, user management, import and export, REST API and audit trail, built around your processes rather than around someone else's product assumptions.

Business Logic and Automation

Your rules are configured rather than programmed. Statuses, approvals, automatic updates and notifications are defined in the administration area, so the process in the application matches the process in your company and can be adjusted when that process changes.
  • Configurable Workflows and Status Transitions
  • Approvals, Reviews and Escalations
  • Action Buttons on Records and Selections
  • Automatic Field Updates
  • Calculated and Derived Values
  • Validation Rules and Data Quality Checks
  • Scheduled Jobs and Background Queues
  • E-Mail and In-App Notifications
  • Mass Actions and Bulk Editing
  • Document Generation from Templates
  • Complete Change History per Record

Integration and Data Exchange

An application only creates value once it is connected to the systems around it. AtroCore exchanges data with your ERP, online shop, CMS and production systems through configurable feeds, an API and webhooks, so data is consolidated in one place instead of being copied by hand.
  • REST API for All Entities and Fields
  • Configurable Import and Export Feeds
  • Field Mapping and Value Transformation
  • Scheduled and Event-based Data Exchange
  • Webhooks for Outgoing Events
  • Connectors for ERP, Shop and CMS Systems
  • Channel and Marketplace Feeds
  • Data Consolidation from Several Sources
  • Matching and Deduplication
  • Import Logs and Error Handling
  • File Transfer via FTP, SFTP and HTTP

Users, Roles and Access Control

Access is defined per role down to the individual field, so every user sees the data relevant to their work and nothing beyond it. Suppliers, dealers and other external participants work in the same system through their own restricted view, which removes the need for a separate portal application.
  • Configurable Roles and Permission Profiles
  • Record-level Access via Ownership and Teams
  • Field-level Read-only and Hidden Fields
  • Role-dependent Layouts and Menus
  • Restricted Views for External Participants
  • Supplier and Dealer Access to the Same System
  • Teams, Assignment and Responsibilities
  • Comments, Mentions and Record Following
  • Personal Dashboards and Saved Filters
  • Multi-language User Interface
  • Audit Log of All Changes

Development process with AtroCore

AtroCore shortens the part of the project that normally takes the longest. Data model, interfaces, permission system, automation and notifications are configured in the administration area, so a running application exists early and you review real screens with real data instead of mockups. Development effort goes into the logic that is genuinely specific to your business.

1. Kickoff and concept

In a kickoff meeting we work through your processes and the data behind them. The result is a concept that states which parts of the application AtroCore covers by configuration and which parts require custom development, together with an offer you can plan with.

2. Data model

Your entities, fields, relations and hierarchies are configured in the administration interface. Field types cover text, numbers, dates, currencies, files, links, multi-language values and calculated values, and validation rules are defined per field. The database schema follows automatically, without hand-written migrations.

3. Layouts and views

For each entity you define list views, detail views, search filters, kanban and calendar views, and arrange fields into panels and tabs. Layouts can differ by role, so purchasing and quality assurance open the same record and see the fields relevant to them.

4. Action buttons

Operations your users need are placed directly where they work, as buttons on a record or on a selection of records. A button can start an export, generate a document, hand a record over to another system or trigger a workflow, without anyone leaving the screen.

5. Roles and permissions

Access is controlled per role down to individual records and fields: who may read, create, edit and delete, whether access depends on ownership or team membership, and which fields remain read-only or hidden. External participants such as suppliers or dealers receive their own restricted view of the same system, and every change is recorded in the audit log.

6. Workflows and notifications

Business rules are configured instead of coded: status transitions, approvals, escalations, automatic field updates and scheduled jobs. Users are informed by email and in-app notifications, data is exchanged through configurable import and export profiles, and other systems are connected via the REST API, webhooks and integration modules.

7. Custom development where configuration ends

Requirements that go beyond configuration are implemented as modules within a documented extension architecture, so your specific logic stays separate from the platform and updates remain possible. Developer time goes into your domain logic rather than into user management, import routines or a permission system.

8. Approval and go-live

Each sprint result is tested manually and automatically, then presented to you for approval before it reaches the productive system. Adjustments and extensions go into the next sprint. We train your users, hand over the documentation and support the operation after go-live on request.

Advantages of the AtroCore platform

Configuration instead of programming

Entities, fields, relations, layouts, roles, workflows and notifications are set up in the administration interface. Changes take effect immediately, without a release cycle, and your own team can make them once the application is live. Programming is reserved for the logic that is genuinely specific to your business.

Built for complex data

AtroCore handles deep hierarchies, many-to-many relations, multi-language values, unit-dependent values, versioning and records with hundreds of attributes. This is where spreadsheets and lightweight low-code tools reach their limit, and it is the reason AtroCore also serves as a fully-fledged master data management system.

The foundation already exists

User management, permissions, search and filtering, import and export, file handling, revision history, notifications, queue management and a REST API come with the platform. Your project starts at your business processes rather than at infrastructure that every application needs anyway.

Permissions down to the single field

Access is defined per role and can depend on record ownership or team membership, with individual fields set to read-only or hidden. Suppliers, dealers and other external participants work in the same system through their own restricted view, so you do not need a separate portal application to involve them.

Integration is part of the platform

Configurable import and export profiles, a REST API, webhooks, scheduled jobs and existing connectors link AtroCore to your ERP, online shop, DMS or production systems. Data is consolidated where it belongs instead of being copied between isolated tools.

Open source without license fees

The core is open source, so the number of users and locations does not change the price and you have full access to the source code. Install AtroCore on your own servers or in a cloud of your choice, keeping your data and your operating model in your own hands.

One platform for several applications

Product information management, master data management, a supplier portal and your own specialized application can run on one instance with one data model and one set of users. Each further requirement extends what already exists instead of adding another system to maintain.

A way out of Excel and Access

Spreadsheets and small in-house databases work until several people need to edit the same data, permissions matter and changes have to be traceable. AtroCore takes over exactly these cases, with validation rules, an audit trail and controlled access instead of file versions in a shared folder.
