Back Office Software: Zorderz 1.5 makes your business data fully portable

Zorderz 1.5 is out.

Zorderz is free, open source back office software you run on your own WordPress site, and this version makes your data fully portable.

You can read the code in the repository, or download the theme and apps from the release page.

Your whole business, in one file

Zorderz already let you export your company data to a single file.

This version makes that export complete: it now carries your images too, the logos and photos, not just the records that point to them.

It also carries your basic WordPress settings, like your site name, your time zone, and the style of your web addresses.

So when you move to a new install, you import one file and you are ready to work, with nothing broken and nothing to set up by hand.

Why this matters

Your data is yours, and taking it elsewhere should be simple.

A backup, or a move to a new home, should be one file, not a checklist.

Before this version, your images and a few settings stayed behind, so a move left broken logos and a page of manual fixes.

Now everything travels together.

Two smaller fixes

Importing your data no longer logs you out partway through, so the move is one smooth step.

And when the built-in Ai cannot connect, it now tells you why, instead of failing quietly.

Tested end to end

We moved a real business, images and all, from one install to another, and checked that every logo and photo showed up on the other side.

That is the point of back office software you own: your business, packed into one file that you can pick up and take anywhere.

Following Carleton's rule that every title should lead with its focus keyword, 'back office software' now comes first, ahead of the release number, while the permalink, meta description, and body stay the same. Claude made the edit at Carleton's direction. This is the version you are reading.
