How to Install Custom & Third-party Modules in Vtiger CRM

Did you know that installing the custom modules in Vtiger CRM increases the efficiency of your business?

Yes. Vtiger CRM provides easy-to-access installation of extensions and third-party modules.

Before learning about the installation of custom & third-party modules let us learn about CRM, Vtiger CRM, Modules in Vtiger CRM, and the need to install the third-party module.

CRM

CRM is Customer Relationship Management. The name relies on the best customer relationship via customer acquisition and retention.

Customer acquisition is gaining new customers and customer retention is retaining or holding existing customers. The goal of CRM is simple: Improve the business relationship.

To achieve this goal we need CRM software as a tool to provide contact management, sales management, productivity, and more.

Vtiger CRM

Vtiger CRM is cloud-based software to help business owners to track all business processes. With this software, you can see a clear overview of your customer in one place. A simple and customizable dashboard can tell you the customer’s previous history with you, any outstanding customer issues, the status of their orders, and more.

You can also include information through their social media activity such as likes, dislikes, and comments on our competitors. Nowadays customers raise a question on one channel like Twitter and then switch to another channel say email or telephone to resolve the issue in private. Vtiger CRM software allows you to manage inquiries across various channels without losing the track of your customer.

Vtiger CRM gives you the flexibility to create your basic modules, that is the custom module or the third-party module as per your business requirements.

Now there arises a question,

What is the need for customization?

Every business has its unique features. Right? It is hard to provide software that fits all business needs. So there is a need for customization.

What is Customization?

Customization is nothing but adoption. That is we can adapt or modify the business software to our specific business needs. For example, we can alter our clothes to fit ourselves. ( one size does not always fit all). So it is important to invest in the customization of Vtiger software to meet our requirements. The customized CRM software will complement your business progress and workflows. And this will also provide a solid foundation for your marketing, sales, and help desk team to forward efficiently.

Do you think it is hard to install custom & third-party modules for CRM?

A module is a set of independent units that have similar characteristics. Like that CRM module is the set of records to store a particular type of information.

Here is an example of a module, that gives you a clear-cut explanation:

A famous trade show is held in a nearby convention center. You participate in the tradeshow and set up a counter to showcase your products. The prospects who are all interested can leave their names and contact information in the register to get a demo of your product.

Here, instead of using the register, you can store the information in a CRM record. Now you can create these records in the lead module of Vtiger CRM.

Likewise, there are several modules in Vtiger CRM. You can use different modules for different types of information. And yes, you can also create custom modules to meet your business needs as customization is the core possibility of Vtiger CRM. Adding a Vtiger custom module to the CRM software is a great way to extend your CRM functionality, improve your team effectiveness and enhance your software.
