WordPress was born as a blogging tool or a CMS system, but it has been continuously updated and evolved, thanks in large part to the WordPress community, to the point that today WordPress is a complete framework that serves as the foundation for any web application you can imagine.
NOTE: A framework is a work environment in which multiple tasks can be performed; it is the foundation upon which additional layers of functionality rest. WordPress functions as a framework by offering a core that, through plugins and themes, can become virtually any web application.
Having clarified all of the above, there are many other uses you can give to WordPress. I have compiled a list of these uses or things you can do with WordPress, and I even recommend some of the best solutions I have tested:
Invoicing System with WordPress:
Did you know that you can create an invoicing and quotation system using plugins like the impressive Sliced Invoices? It is possible to create and manage a complete online invoicing system for your clients.

CRM – Customer Relationship Management with WordPress:
It is possible to create a complete customer relationship management system using wonderful plugins such as WP CRM and Jetpack CRM. From my point of view, Jetpack CRM could be a great option in the future, as the plugin is free and we have access to its API, which allows us to extend or create new software such as applications or others. The downside is that it is still in an early stage of development, so we will have to wait and see how it performs in the future.

Appointment System with WordPress:
Booknetic is the most cost-effective WordPress booking plugin for simplifying client bookings in a contactless way. But another competitor that is very good in my experience is: Amelia is a simple yet powerful automated WordPress appointment booking plugin that works 24/7 to ensure your clients can book appointments or events and pay online even while you sleep.
