Xero alternative: PORTWARE
Xero is cloud-based small business accounting software. If you are looking for a system that runs every process in one place, speaks Turkish and adapts to your company, instead of or alongside Xero, consider PORTWARE.
For companies looking to replace or complement Xero, PORTWARE is a web-based business management system that runs every process, including accounting, e-invoicing, collection and budgets, in one place. It is built on the world's most widely used open-source business-management core, speaks Turkish and English, is ready for Turkish e-invoicing, is tailored to your company and keeps its database on your own server. You can move one process at a time.

Each film walks one application's pages and shows what it gives you, in about two minutes.
Businesses searching for Xero often keep invoices in one program and stock in another, and match the numbers by hand at month end. In PORTWARE the invoice comes from the sales order, cost from the stock move and expense from purchasing, so the journal entry is born from the work itself.
Balance sheet, income statement and cash flow read from the same measure definitions, and budget and actuals are compared on one screen.
The first question a company using Xero asks about PORTWARE is its data: customers, products, stock and open balances move with import templates, and processes are set up and tried in a demo account first.
You do not have to switch everything at once. Most companies start with one process (for example sales and quotations, or projects) and move the others into the same system later.

What is PORTWARE's licence model — is there a per-user fee?
PORTWARE's core is the world's most widely used open-source (LGPL-3) business-management core; the modules PORTWARE writes are licensed LGPL-3. No closed-source per-user licence fee is required. The cost is in setup, tailoring, training and support services, quoted to your scope.
Where is our data kept, and whose server is it on?
The database runs wherever you want it: on your own server or on one PORTWARE manages. The schema is open and the whole dataset can be exported at any time. Backups are taken daily and kept on a separate server.
Does it integrate with the other programs we use?
Yes. PORTWARE exposes REST and XML-RPC APIs and talks to banks, e-invoice providers, e-commerce and shop-floor systems through them. For bulk data, Excel/CSV import and export is available on every screen.
How are training and support provided?
The system ships its own handbook, application guides and per-screen help. On top of that PORTWARE trains the team during go-live and provides upgrades and support afterwards.
