A front office application is any software that has a direct relation to customers.[1] In turn, a back office application has no such direct relation.
Examples
The software enabling the customer to order a product from a company is considered a front office application. If a salesperson is typing the order into the application, it is still considered a front office application even though the customer is not directly interacting with the software.
If the company uses different software to order the product from a manufacturer, it is considered a back office application.[2]
