Get ready for 2022!

-From the CEO’s Desk

As we roll towards the end of the year, businesses might see a lull - with holidays around and depleting budgets. This is a perfect time to get our systems ready for next year. 

Why wait for January! Let's get an early start to make 2022 a great year. And you can do it without changing your vacation plans.

Click here to see Sreenivas Kanumuru, Vtiger’s CEO speak about becoming business ready for 2022.

Whether you are an existing customer who is already using Vtiger, or a business losing time and money while grappling with the challenges of disconnected systems and spreadsheets, this might be as good a time as any to act. If you are using Vtiger open source and want to move to the cloud version and take advantage of its many features, why wait? 

If you are an existing customer, then you might not have leveraged the many new features that we released in 2021. 

  • Built-in low code platform (VTAP) - Extend Vtiger and tailor it for your business. 
  • Social Listening  - Build social power by responding to reviews and managing posts on Google, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Join in conversations and increase brand awareness. 
  • Conversation analysis with Calculus AI - Expand from AI-guided selling (deal scoring and recommendations) to AI-guided coaching to empower managers. 
  • New integrations 

So what are the new integrations you can take advantage of?

  • To collaborate better - Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, Zoom
  • To synchronize invoices - MYOB, Sage Accounting (adding to Xero, Quickbooks, Tally)
  • To send messages - WhatsApp
  • To call - Avaya, Genesis (to add to Twilio, Plivo, Telzio, Exotel, Knowlarity, and more)

Sales Return and Purchase Return modules

Want to record the excess stock you have in the CRM? We have added two new modules, Sales Return – for the excess stock the customer has returned, and Purchase Return – for the excess stock you are left with after purchase.

With these two modules in place, you can update the inventory with current stock numbers. You can also add the reason for return using a simple picklist.
