After much consideration, I will be closing down PhreeSoft effective May 31, 2026. I’m finding that maintaining both the PhreeSoft cloud and Bizuno requires more time and effort than I have available. The company isn’t generating enough revenue to hire more staff, and I’m losing too many weekends keeping the system running.
With the onset of AI and the difficulty of building a sustainable business based on Bizuno, closing PhreeSoft will allow me to devote more time to Bizuno’s development and advancement. Not handling the day-to-day (and weekend) operations of PhreeSoft will give me more time to make these improvements sooner.
What does that mean for Bizuno? I created a stand-alone project on GitHub and released Bizuno with all of its extensions, similar to the version running on the PhreeSoft cloud. I have also created a project website (
bizuno.com) that includes a forum, manual, and download center. I will be completely engaged in continuing the project and have big plans to completely reword the UI and integrate with NextCloud. I just no longer want to try to make a viable business from it. The goal is to get more community involvement than I have had in the past.
What about your current hosting? I will continue to operate the PhreeSoft cloud until the end of May. That should provide enough time for you to migrate your business to another platform if your hosting is currently on the PhreeSoft cloud. If so, I will assist in moving your Bizuno business to the platform of your choice. If you host your e-commerce store on the PhreeSoft cloud, I will also assist in moving it to the host you choose.
Henceforth, all support for Bizuno will be handled via the forum on the
bizuno.com website. I will be an active participant on the site and will be a moderator of the site.
