In this article, I will be introducing both SugarCRM and Vend, giving their respective definitions, and then explaining how they are integrated. I will also discuss the benefits of integrating these two programs.
SugarCRM is a software program used to manage customer relations. It is a customer relationship management (or CRM. application. It was originally developed by a company called “The SugarCRM Company” in 2005. The company was founded by Larry Augustin, and it now has its headquarters in San Francisco, California. SugarCRM was designed to be more than just a basic customer relations management system (CRS), but it can also be used as an ERP system, e-commerce spution, or help desk top.
Vend is an open source e-commerce platform that provides features for businesses to manage their online store. It is also referred to as the “best open source e-commerce platform,” which seems to be very popular among business owners and developers. Vend was created by a company called “Vend Platform LLC” in 2011. The headquarters of Vend Platform LLC is located in San Jose, California. Vend is capable of supporting multiple websites. Vend can support integration with many third party applications such as payment gateways, shipping carriers, etc., which makes it a very useful top for businesses.
