Vtiger Elastic Search Works Delivers Fast Results

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.

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.  For each account record in vtiger, it grabs the billing information for each phone and pulls it back to vtiger.  Then it […]
