vTiger+ Feature: Account Roll-up

A lot of vTiger Items can be linked to both Accounts and Contacts: Quotes, Sales Orders, Invoices, ToDos, Activities.

In vTiger+ we extended this to everything. Any item associated with a Contact, such as a Product or Document, also appears in Account Information as well. Now, even if you have Documents stored under multiple Contacts with the same Account, you can easily track them all from the Account View.

This features makes it easier to view all Account info at-a-glance, without worrying that there's a Document hiding under a Contact.

I wanted to include a screencast to demonstrate this feature, but I'm having trouble finding a program that I like, so it'll have to wait until later this week. In the meantime, visit our vTiger website to see all of our vTiger offerings.

vTiger+ Feature: Calendar Information

We're familiar with the complaint that the vTiger calendar doesn't show enough information in monthly view.

We addressed this in vTiger+. Hover your mouse over any event in the calendar's monthly view and you will see information about the Contact or Account related to the event.

vTiger+ Feature: Contact Search

Easy access to Contact information is one of the cornerstones of CRM, which means that easy access to search is incredibly important as well.

In standard vTiger, a user has to make too many clicks just to get to the advanced search, and once the advanced search is open he still has to set up the specific fields and conditions.

Any organization with a sizable list of Contacts needs to access advanced search on a regular basis in order to narrow their search results.
In a large company, where many users are doing many searches each day, the time wasted setting up searches really adds up. The hassle is felt companies of all sizes.

Our goal with vTiger+ is to make the most important a frequently used features faster and more intuitive.

In vTiger+ we bring the search menu into view as soon as you enter the Contacts section. On top of that, it defaults to an advanced search with a number of fields predefined. Take a look:
