Product Description
If you are a regular SuiteCRM user then you must be familiar with importing issues of SuiteCRM. Even while importing just 100 records sometimes, you get errors such as ‘An internal server error occurred. Please try again later.’ or RAM maxes out. This is a persistent problem that’s why we have developed a more reliable solution called SuiteCRM Smart Importer. It is a plugin that allows you to import hundreds and thousands of records in any module.
For example, imagine a sales manager who needs to import a list of 5,000 new leads from a recent trade show into SuiteCRM. Using the standard import tool, the process might fail multiple times, causing delays and forcing the manager to split the import into smaller chunks, which wastes valuable time and risks data inconsistency.
To solve these challenges, we have developed a more reliable and efficient solution called SuiteCRM Smart Importer. This powerful plugin allows you to import hundreds or even thousands of records seamlessly into any module without errors or performance issues.
