Problems with vtiger 6.4 migration script
Vtiger 6.4 has been out for a few hours and already the forums are filling up with comments about issues people are having with the migration scripts to go from 6.x to 6.4. This is a pretty typical issue for vtiger. As good as vtiger is, and we think it is great, there are many […]
Vtiger Custom Migration Wizard
Vtiger migrations can feel intimidating. One of our clients wished to migrate from a 5.X Vtiger build to a 6.X Vtiger build. In the 6.X build our client wanted to move data to new custom modules that we were tasked to create. So how do you allow the client to have interaction with a migration? […]

Vtiger Schedule Map
When you’re working with a customer to schedule an appointment, it is hard to figure out in a split second whom you should send to their home. Going through everyone’s schedule to determine the best fit for the job would be a waste of time, and just randomly choosing one is not advantageous either because […]

Automated Telcom Billing
[note] One of our clients requested a custom telecom billing integration so we designed a vtiger customization that connects via API to the admin portal for the third party phone system he uses.
