Southern African CRM Experts

Gen-X Consulting helps South African businesses unlock independence with open-source, self-hosted CRM.

Gen-x Consulting builds complete, open-source business management solutions for South African organisations. By integrating Vtiger CRM with Nextcloud, we replace the fragmented mix of spreadsheets, email threads, and disconnected cloud tools that slow growing businesses down. Vtiger manages your sales pipeline, helpdesk tickets, projects, inventory, and reporting — while Nextcloud provides secure, self-hosted file storage, document collaboration, and team communication under your own control. Together, they form a single, POPIA-friendly platform for managing your entire operation: from the first customer enquiry to the final invoice, with every document, conversation, and task connected in one place. Trusted by Johannesburg businesses since 2011, we implement, customise, host, and support the full stack locally — so your data stays in South Africa and your teams work from one system instead of five.
