Altius SuiteCRM Bridge
The Bridge joins the parts of Altius HQ your team works in every day to SuiteCRM, the database that keeps every customer, quote, invoice and meeting. Change something in one place and it's right everywhere.
Without a bridge, every tool keeps its own version of the truth
Most small businesses end up typing the same customer into three systems, then wondering which one is right. The Bridge is how Altius HQ avoids that.
Enter it once
A new customer added from a quote, a booking or a business card is the same customer everywhere, with no copying between systems.
Always current
Change a phone number in Altius HQ and SuiteCRM has it straight away. Change it in SuiteCRM and Altius HQ shows the new one.
One login to manage
Your team signs in to Altius HQ. The Bridge handles the connection to SuiteCRM behind the scenes, so nobody needs a second password.
Room to grow
Every Altius module plugs into the same connection, so adding Finance or the Client Portal later takes minutes, not a new integration project.
Every module, one connection
Each part of Altius HQ talks to SuiteCRM through the Bridge, in both directions. Ask Claude is the one exception: it can read, but never change anything, and restricted information never reaches it.
Much more than a connector
It started as the link between the Altius Scheduler and SuiteCRM. Today it's the foundation every part of Altius HQ stands on.
One shared CRM connection
Signs in to SuiteCRM once and shares that connection with every Altius module, so each one reads and saves the same records.
The Altius HQ app
Runs the clean workspace your team signs in to on your own website. No WordPress dashboard, no clutter, just the business.
Team roles and permissions
Owner, Manager, Staff, Bookkeeper and Read only roles decide who can view, edit or manage each area, with adjustments for individual people.
More than one company
Run several businesses from one Altius HQ. Each has its own name, logo, address and payment details on its quotes, invoices and purchase orders.
Sensitive information protected
Salaries, costs and ID numbers are labelled and shown only to the people who should see them, and they're never sent to Ask Claude.
A record of every change
Each change made through Altius HQ is logged against the person who made it, so you can always answer "who changed this, and when?"
Bookings that never clash
Scheduler appointments become SuiteCRM meetings for the right staff member, and a time that's already taken in SuiteCRM can't be booked twice.
Works on everyday hosting
Some hosting companies block parts of SuiteCRM's connection. The Bridge notices and routes those changes a safe way instead, so editing just works.
Time zones handled
Times are lined up between your website and SuiteCRM automatically, so a 2 o'clock appointment is 2 o'clock everywhere.
One customer, one journey, no retyping
Here's what the Bridge does behind the scenes as a new customer moves through your business.
They book online
A new client books through the Scheduler. The Bridge finds them in SuiteCRM by email, or adds them, and creates the meeting for the right person.
You send a quote
The quote is built from the same customer record, with your company's logo and terms, and saved to SuiteCRM.
The quote becomes an invoice
When it's accepted, it becomes an invoice for the same customer. Payments recorded against it reach SuiteCRM too.
The books catch up
Finance sees the invoice and the payment, so your profit and loss is current without a second entry.
They check the portal
Give them portal access in SuiteCRM and their login is created, so they can see their own quotes and invoices.
Entered once. Right everywhere.
Every Altius HQ module runs through the Bridge
Install the Bridge first, and each module you add finds the connection on its own.
Secure from end to end
Your customer records and financial history are the most valuable data your business has. The Bridge treats them that way.
- Industry-standard sign-in. The Bridge connects to SuiteCRM with OAuth2, the sign-in standard used by major business apps, over an encrypted connection.
- Signed requests. Your website and SuiteCRM share a secret, and SuiteCRM refuses anything that isn't signed with it.
- The right people only. Every screen checks the person's role before showing or saving anything.
- Your data, your website. Records stay in your own SuiteCRM and your own website. Nothing is shared with outside data brokers or advertisers.
Standard is visible to the team. Confidential needs permission. Restricted is for administrators only, and is never sent to Ask Claude.
Good questions about the Bridge
Do I need to buy the Bridge separately?
No. The Bridge comes with Altius HQ. It's the part that makes all the modules work together, so it's always included.
I already use SuiteCRM. Can I connect it?
Yes. The Bridge works with SuiteCRM 7.14 and 7.15. We add the Altius Connector to your SuiteCRM, connect it to Altius HQ, and your existing customers, quotes and invoices are there from day one.
I don't have SuiteCRM. Is that a problem?
Not at all. We set up SuiteCRM for you as part of Altius HQ. Most of your team will work in Altius HQ and rarely need to open SuiteCRM itself.
Does my team need to learn SuiteCRM?
No. Day-to-day work happens in Altius HQ. SuiteCRM keeps everything safely in the background, and it's there for anyone who wants its deeper tools.
Can I use the Altius Scheduler without the Bridge?
Yes. The standalone Altius Scheduler runs on its own website without SuiteCRM. Connected through the Bridge, it becomes part of Altius HQ, with bookings shared across your team and customer records.
Does it work with Google Calendar?
Yes. Appointments and meetings come with one-click buttons for Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar. With Altius Google Calendar Sync added to SuiteCRM, meetings also appear on each person's Google Calendar automatically.
Who sets it up?
We do. Altius Central installs and connects everything as part of setting up Altius HQ. If you'd rather install it yourself, our setup and support guide walks through every step.
