vtigerbased

vtigerbased is a descriptive term used to refer to software products, deployments, or projects that are built on the vtiger CRM platform or derive from it. In practice, vtigerbased solutions reuse the vtiger core data model, user interface components, and module framework to deliver customer relationship management functionality. They typically cover standard CRM domains such as leads, accounts, contacts, opportunities, cases, campaigns, products, quotes, and invoices, and extend them through custom modules, fields, and workflows.

Technical characteristics include a PHP-based application that uses a relational database such as MySQL. vtigerbased deployments can run on common LAMP/LEMP stacks and may be hosted on-premises or in the cloud. The platform provides a web-based interface and exposes integration options via REST and SOAP APIs, enabling data exchange with external systems. Customization in vtigerbased projects often includes new modules, fields, business rules, automation workflows, and role-based access control.

Licensing and ecosystem aspects vary by distribution. The vtiger core has been released under open-source licenses, and vtigerbased products can be distributed as open-source or commercial offerings depending on the vendor. The vtiger marketplace and partner network provide modules, extensions, and services that extend functionality and integration options for vtigerbased deployments.

Use and impact: vtigerbased solutions are used by small and medium-sized businesses across a range of industries for sales management, customer support, marketing automation, and project tracking. The term is also encountered in discussions of white-label CRM offerings and vendor-specific derivatives that adapt vtiger for vertical needs.
