The Evolution of SuiteCRM: Welcome to Suite 8
SuiteCRM has always been one of the most powerful open-source CRM solutions, trusted by businesses worldwide for its flexibility and cost-effectiveness. With the release of SuiteCRM 8, the platform has undergone a major architectural transformation – moving from its legacy framework to a modern Angular front-end with a Symfony-powered backend.
While this upgrade ensures scalability, speed, and a better user experience, it has also introduced a challenge:
Many older customization approaches, extensions, and add-ons were no longer compatible with Suite 8.
This leaves many businesses struggling to migrate or extend their SuiteCRM instance.
That's where Urdhva Tech comes in.

SuiteCRM 8 Ready Add-ons by Urdhva Tech
Here are some of our most in-demand extensions that now work seamlessly with SuiteCRM 8:
1. Sales Forecast & Quota
Sales Forecast and Quota for SuiteCRM allow you to track your sales forecasts and see how your sales teams are performing against the defined quota. Forecasts show Opportunities in your sales cycle that are committed to close and those that are 'best case' Opportunities, allowing you to see the latest status of your business. Sales Quotas are the targets identified for each salesperson for a given financial year, broken down by the financial periods.
2. Escalation Management
Escalation Management for SuiteCRM ensures nothing falls through the cracks. When a case or record remains idle—whether because its owner is unavailable, out of office, or unaware—our add-on automatically elevates attention based on your rules and timelines. Define your criteria (e.g. age of record, last update), set business hours and holidays, and decide who it escalates to—whether a reports manager, specific user, or team. The result: faster response times, stronger accountability, and customer issues resolved on schedule.
3. DocParser – SuiteCRM Integration

It supports multi-user accounts, template syncing, field mapping, and real-time status tracking—simplifying your signing workflows and keeping all data in one place.
5. DocuSign – SuiteCRM Integration
DocuSign for SuiteCRM streamlines your document signing process by enabling you to send contracts, NDAs, and agreements directly from your CRM. This integration allows you to utilize DocuSign templates, merge SuiteCRM data into documents, and send them for e-signature.

Real-time updates are provided through the intuitive DS-Activities Dashboard, keeping you informed of the document's status throughout the signing process.
6. Advanced Audit Log
The Advanced Audit Log for SuiteCRM enhances the platform's native auditing capabilities by tracking both field-level changes and relationship modifications. This add-on provides a comprehensive view of data alterations, including who made the changes, what was changed, and when it occurred.

With support for SuiteCRM versions 8.8 and above, it offers a user-friendly interface and seamless integration, ensuring minimal system load and straightforward setup.
