FatCRM is a desktop application for the web application SugarCRM.
Desktop application for a web service, fat client, get it? :-)
SugarCRM (and its opensource version SuiteCRM) is a web-oriented system for tracking customers and potential customers. The downside of web user interfaces is the latency that applies to every action, requiring roundtrips to the web server.
FatCRM solves this by creating a local cache of the data (accounts, opportunities, contacts, etc.) and providing a desktop application to search, view, and edit this data.
FatCRM uses Qt5, KDSoap, KDReports, Akonadi, and KF5.
For some of the more popular Linux distributions we provide installable packages using the openSUSE Build Service.

kcalcore-devel akonadi-contact-devel - for Debian/Kubuntu:
libkf5akonadicontact-dev extra-cmake-modules
git clone https://github.com/KDAB/KDSoap.git
cd KDSoap
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/KDAB/KDSoap-Qt5
make
sudo make install
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/KDAB/KDReports.git
cd KDReports
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/KDAB/KDReports-Qt5
make
sudo make install
cd ..
git clone https://github.com/KDAB/FatCRM
cd FatCRM ; mkdir build ; cd build
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/local/KDAB/KDSoap-Qt5:/usr/local/KDAB/KDReports-Qt5:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kf5-config --prefix`
make
sudo make install
Now restart akonadi so that it sees the newly installed resource (on the command-line: akonadictl restart)
In SugarCRM, click on your own name in the topright corner, go to the Advanced tab, and in the first group ("User Settings"), ensure that "Show Full Names" is checked. Further below in the "Locale Settings" group, ensure that the decimal separator is "." (dot) and that the thousands separator is "," (comma).
The executable name is fatcrm. It should appear in your K menu under the name FatCRM.
The first time, you'll have to configure your SugarCRM account. Click on Add..., type Sugar, click on SugarCRM Resource.
After that, go to the Settings dialog and configure your full user name at the top, as shown in the web interface for SugarCRM.
