FAQ Who uses Dolibarr: Difference between revisions

The '''exploration rate''' of the online solution (= number of institutions testing the online solution with a view to adoption and agreeing to communicate this fact) is '''192 new institutions per day, including 61 by a French institution''' (associations, businesses, or self-employed individuals) in 2024 (figure collected through voluntary pings to the Dolibarr association). Unfortunately, it is not possible to date to provide the adoption rate (= number of actual user companies that therefore go beyond simple exploration) because the strong sovereignty protection policy means that the software is not equipped with a centralized counting tool, the market being distributed among hundreds of partners in France whose activity and the data generated remain their property. However, the partners who agree to communicate '''their conversion rate after exploration have a rate between 2 and 20%'''. Based on an average rate of 10%, we can therefore estimate, for France, that the software adoption rate is '''at least 6 new user institutions per day, and this for 20 years''', and only on a count of user companies agreeing to communicate the information! This represents a total of '''nearly 44,000 installations with actual use explicitly declared'''. Even taking into account abandonment (the monthly abandonment rate is estimated at 1.5% among French Dolibarr SaaS hosts), the current installed base is likely 5 to 20 times higher if we include the vast majority of companies that installed the application through a partner or a SaaS deployment without first undergoing a manual installation with a discovery declaration. Also, the number of French enterprise or self-employed users currently using the software is estimated by the association to date at nearly 100,000 in France. Based on an average of 5 users per organization, this represents nearly 500,000 users in France.
