Boru offers a tiered monthly rate for hosting depending on the amount of space you need.

• $40 per month per vtiger build or $2 per user per month; it's your choice (15GB storage limitation, additional units of 5GB for $5 per month).

Google Maps Integration allows you to see where a customer or contact is located from within vTiger. Another userful feature is that it will also display nearby customers and contacts as well. With this information at your sales team's fingertips, they will be able to get from place to place without driving back and forth across town. Just check which contacts are nearby and plan your route accordingly.

First, select a contact and click the Map button:



Then, a map will display with all nearby contacts listed on the left. In this screenshot, everything but qualified leads is filtered out:

No matter where your leads are coming from, the Leadscraper can pull them all into vTiger by breaking down the text from emails. The Leadscraper is an excellent tool for parsing and automatically importing leads from:

• Web forms
• Purchased leads

Use leadscraper to parse any regular data, meaning any text that you receive in a predictable form. It can automate based on any number of form templates. This includes tasks beyond lead creation (i.e. data transfer to insurance quoting systems, data feeds from insurance carriers, etc). The leadscrapper can even monitor equipment uptime and send you an alert if it is down (The equipment must be capable of sending emails).

Say you have a form on your website for customers to fill out support requests. You might have somebody check the account for support requests, and when an email comes in they create a trouble ticket, associate it with the appropriate contact, and assign the trouble ticket to one of your support employees to resolve.

If you get more than a handful of support requests, that's a lot of work.

The Leadscraper can automate this step for your support staff, because the process described above is exactly what the Leadscraper does.

Actually, it is just one example of what the Leadscraper does.

You might also have a form for quote requests. The Leadscraper would try to match the sender to your vTiger database, and if it's not there, it'll automatically create a new contact using the form data, and assign the quote request to sales.

Lead assignment can be a tricky business. In the simplest case, leads are distributed evenly among your sales reps in rotation. Even then, you have to remember who was assigned the last lead. And if there is more than one person assigning leads, coordination quickly becomes a problem.

The Round Robin lead assignment customization automatically assigns leads to your sales team.

With automated lead assignment you can do more than just assign leads in rotation. Set leads according to profiles and ensure that your 9am-5pm and 5pm-9am workers get appropriate leads. You can distribute leads by type or according to profiles. For example, only distribute a lead to a sales rep in the same region. Or you can set sales criteria on a per sales rep basis, such as a minimum or maximum number of leads per day.

The criteria themselves are only limited by the information that you gather about leads and can be used in any combination.

Configuring your settings is done through a GUI within vTiger.

Display complex information in an easy to understand format with our custom dashboards. Any data query can be filtered, sorted, and displayed attractively and informatively in real time.

Left: Actual sales compared to goal. Right: Calls vs Sales

As a performance measurement tool, you can use our dashboards to calculate calls to sales ratios for any user at any given period of time. Or make the calculation more nuanced and ignore certain types of leads. No matter the complexity, your dashboard is a just a click away.

You aren't just limited to vTiger data either. Dashboards can integrate information from any of your software to give you the big picture, color coded, all in one place.

Dashboards are a great motivational tool. Incentives, such as commissions or bonuses, are most effective when they are received soon after a goal is met. Dashboards give your sales team the ability to track their commissions from pending to approved.

One motivation booster of ours is a dashboard where users set a goal for the number of calls they will make in a day, the number of times they will speak live, and the number of applications they will complete. Each day the user logs in, it displays the previous day's goals, the actual numbers, and asks the user for a new set of goals for the day.

Another motivational tool displays different sales teams' performance ranked against the others.

Sales team standings

When keeping track of many commissions, managers can often get bogged down resolving disputes from the sales team, who in turn spend a lot of time searching for missed commissions. By tracking the commission process in dashboards, your sales team and managers will have instant access to sales information and spend less time chasing down commissions, a serious time savings for any organization

Vtiger's advanced search is powerful, but setting up each field is a hassle. And when you make more than a few complex searches in a day, it's downright aggravating. Our contact search customization makes multi-field searches more convenient by putting common search fields at the top of your Contact page by default. This way users don't have to wrestle with adding and subtracting fields.

Even faster are our Quick Search Buttons, which conduct and sort a predefined search according to your needs, like speed dial on your phone, or a bookmark on a web page.

Basic search after customization. Quick Search Buttons at the top.

For even narrower searches, the user can click Advanced Search to have access to all fields.
