If you are struggling with inconsistent address data in SuiteCRM (different spellings for countries, states, or cities), the Address Dropdown Plugin for SuiteCRM can help. It replaces free-text address fields with structured dropdowns for Country, State/Region, and City, ensuring clean and consistent data across your CRM. This makes filtering, reporting, and automation much more reliable—especially for multi-country or multi-company setups.

To improve accuracy and usability, we recommend integrating Google Address (Places Autocomplete) instead of a dropdown. This will allow users to easily select verified locations while entering records.
That’s a good idea and I usually use both - especially for projects, which have customers in a limited amount of countries / states.
One text field for the whole address.
A parsing logic (usually I use other APIs than Google for GDPR reasons).
Store the output in the standard fields + drop-downs for better reporting.
Yes, Its helpful for reporting
You trust Google but client dont trust, what happen if your boss ask you create sales report per state or city but some user the state or city is typo even they selected from google address suggestion
