OpenOlitor

Multilingual platform for community-supported agriculture tools

Visit OpenOlitor

OpenOlitor is a web-based, multilingual platform for setting up a community supported agriculture (CSA) initiative that connects producers and consumers. It is published under the AGPL v3 licence, with source code available on GitHub, and covers the operational needs of CSA groups.

Core functionality includes managing members, producers and individuals, registering absences and holidays, handling subscriptions and work shifts, and maintaining abotypes, products and prices. It supports delivery planning and distribution of the harvest, basket organization, order generation and delivery accounting, as well as invoicing to members and booking incoming payments. A member portal shows deliveries, absences, invoices and work shifts, alongside customizable reports and a repository for PDF documents.

OpenOlitor can be self-hosted or run through a cloud-hosting arrangement with a support group or association; hosting options include a self-managed server or Swisscom Cloud with data storage in Switzerland. There is no licence cost, while server costs depend on the chosen solution. A public demo environment is available for testing the member portal and admin backend, and a private integration environment can be provisioned for a limited period before productive use.
