With some tagging, some leads, and a login for users...this little app would be great installed on my LAMP server.

It's free up to a certain number of projects and then it's $15/mo. It's very simple with a limited number of features--exactly what an independent developer needs. I definitely recommend it.

I'm looking for something which can be integrated into a website that would allow clients to: -view their past invoices / reports in relation to specific assets that a company maintains (in this case horses) -See when their horses are scheduled for next visit and be able to request adjustment + / - days for that. -Preferably PHP integration with Wordpress for single user data entry. If anyone has seen anything which sounds close to this, would love to know about it. I am close to the point of saying I cannot find something close to that and going to start developing my own version as a plugin to extend Wordpress. I’ll have to check those out.

I'd also venture to say that most SMB's are better off with an On-Demand CRM system than with one that needs to be installed, even if Open Source. It still needs to be maintained, updated..etc - for many small businesses that probably don't even have IT stuff, the TCO of on-premise "free" software may exceed that of a SaaS alternative. Your other example, Zoho CRM is still only $12/user/months after the 3 free seats - a fraction of Sforce ..etc. Btw, I previously argued that despite it's name it's actually  <a href="http://www.zoliblog.com/2007/07/10/on-demand-crm-lunch-is-almost-free/" rel="nofollow">more than just CRM</a>: with Sales Order Management, Procurement, Inventory Management, Invoicing functionality Zoho seems to have the makings of a CRM+ERP solution, under the disguise of the CRM label.
