Need a new Vtiger module, sort of..
It’s very common for clients to approach us with a requirement that seems like a large obstacle to tackle. Recently we had a client who needed a way to modify their Vtiger 5.2 build to create logins to a ticket portal. The client has two sources that would need to view updates to Support tickets. […]
Customizing the Calendar with Different Event Colors
Sometimes you just need a little more color in your life. One of our clients wanted to customize the calendar so that he could easily see when someone had a day off. We came up with a quick customization for this. First, we added “Day Off” to the event type pick list. That was simple […]

Elastic search is a free, super-fast search tool with a powerful, RESTful API. Depending on how you use the API, it can deliver significantly better search results than a typical Boolean search in vtiger. We did a custom project for a Vtiger client to deliver better results faster. The client had hundreds of thousands of contacts and Elastic […]
Barcodes in Vtiger Global Search
One of my favorite recent customizations is creating the ability to search for barcodes and UPCs in Vtiger’s global search. On the heels of a recent inventory management project, our client found that they were frequently looking up product records by name via the products module. Their warehousing and inventory flow involves a high volume of […]
