Abrak is a cloud business platform built on Odoo 19 and localized for Persian-speaking small businesses. It has a right-to-left interface, the Jalali calendar throughout the system, local accounting and payroll, local tax e-invoicing, and connectors for local SMS, cloud telephony, payment gateways, couriers and WooCommerce: 87 integrated apps on one database. Each business gets its own database, daily backups and full data export. Abrak has paid plans for businesses that can pay and is free for small businesses that can't; donations fund that free access. Documentation is public, CC BY 4.0, in Persian, English, Arabic and Pashto. Abrak is built by one person, Mohammad, who currently pays the hosting and AI costs himself. The monthly goal is up to $2,500 (hosting infrastructure + AI tools).

To help industries and small businesses truly understand systemization, meaning running on systems and processes instead of ad-hoc work, and to make that culture native to Persian-speaking businesses, in their language, calendar and reading direction.
Most Persian-speaking small businesses run on ad-hoc work: memory, notebooks, spreadsheets and disconnected tools, with the same sale entered in several places and no single view of stock, cash and customers. Global ERPs that could systemize this assume left-to-right text, the Gregorian calendar and foreign accounting and tax rules. Their deployment and licensing costs are out of reach for the smallest businesses.
Abrak packages Odoo 19 as a ready-to-use cloud service with a local layer on top: a real right-to-left interface, reports and printed documents; the Jalali calendar in forms, filters and reports; local accounting standards with a ready-made chart of accounts; payroll; local tax e-invoicing; and connectors businesses already use. A sale is recorded once, and stock, accounting, invoicing and customer messages all update. Small businesses that can't pay get it free, with no deployment or licensing costs.
Paid per-user plans for businesses that can pay. Free for small businesses without a software budget. Donations cover the hosting infrastructure and AI tool/model accounts that make free access possible. Donations are gifts, not purchases or equity.
Reach recurring donations of up to $2,500/month to cover hosting infrastructure and AI tool/model accounts, so free access for small businesses that can't pay can continue. Without this support, free access can't be sustained.
