[Vtigercrm-developers] Using calendar as simple booking system for 3 meeting-rooms?

[Sutharsan Jeganathan]

Hi

You have to suggest a custom solution to your client. Because using
existing feature or even using a prebuilt module will probably become like
"Cutting the legs to fit the shoe". From my experience that will not
support the client to focus on their business rather than focus on software
constraints.


Thanks
