At Mindfire we have worked for projects involving various challenging features and work. For example recently we worked on a project which involved Magento and vTiger integration. The customer had a CRM application (Vtiger) with inventory tracking and wanted product sales website using an existing e-commerce product (Magento) for quick turnaround. The challenge was to bring the CRM data to the web while keeping the CRM data in sync with the web based e-commerce application for inventory tracking, sales orders and customer management.

Another challenge we faced as we proceeded with development and overcame was the mapping of entity attributes/datatypes in the two separate systems that had their own schemas and ways for storing customer, product and sales order data.

We architected and developed a solution using the codeigniter (PHP) framework to synchronize the information between the two systems; Magento - one of the biggest online shopping solutions and vTiger CRM, a branch from the Sugar CRM code.

The bridge requires some initial configuration in order for it to work. The application requires the user to enter the Magento and VTiger API credentials in order to connect to their API's and access data. We used PHP SOAP client for accessing Magento APIs and PHP CURL for connecting to vTigers API/database.
