Build self-hosted internal tools with data tables, access rules, and Totum's built-in language. Best for teams moving beyond spreadsheet-heavy ops.
Totum fits teams that run processes in spreadsheets but need access rules, logs, reports, and repeatable actions.
Your workflow is simple enough that a shared spreadsheet is still accurate and low risk.
The platform can support inventory, orders, CRM, and production processes without a full custom application team.
You need a mainstream low-code marketplace with many third-party templates and hosted connectors.
Internal business tools often start as spreadsheets because they are flexible and familiar. Over time, those spreadsheets become fragile databases with unclear permissions, manual processes, duplicated formulas, and poor audit history.
Traditional custom apps solve structure but push every change through developers. Business teams need a middle ground: data tables, logic, access rules, and workflows that can evolve without rebuilding an application for every process change.
Totum treats the database itself as the interface for internal apps, giving teams a small-code path between spreadsheets and custom CRUD software.
Totum includes a built-in language for business logic, letting teams encode process rules closer to the data model.
Totum covers use cases such as production management, finance, order management, stocks, CRM, and equipment inventory.
Use the official Ubuntu 24.04 quick start on a clean server. Install curl if it is missing, then run the Totum installer as root or a sudo user:
```bash
sudo apt-get install -y curl
sudo curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/totumonline/totum-mit/master/totum/moduls/install/totum_autoinstall.sh
sudo bash totum_autoinstall.sh
```Totum is used to build self-hosted internal business apps around data tables, access rules, actions, reports, and process logic.
Yes. Totum can replace spreadsheet-driven processes when teams need permissions, logs, reports, and repeatable actions.
Yes. Totum is a self-hosted web app and includes an Ubuntu auto-install command.
