Experience
Salesforce Inventory Management and SAP Integration Using REST API
They purchased Salesforce cloud licenses to manage their sales and marketing activities. The goal was to communicate with customers in Salesforce only until the deal was finalized. Once a deal was finalized, they wanted to move the deal information to SAP, which takes care of order management and deliveries.
PROJECT BRIEF
• Using this Salesforce information, various records are created on SAP B1 using the database structure at SAP B1. This included customers, contacts, addresses, orders, and order items.
• These web service calls are placed when an opportunity is marked as closed won, indicating a deal is won.
• The integration was done by calling REST/XML web services provided by the SAP B1 server. No custom web service was required for this integration.
• When the opportunity goes into SAP as an order, it also generates an order number, which Salesforce gets in response and stores in the opportunity as an SAP order number. This allows the user to locate Salesforce records in SAP and vice versa quickly.
Salesforce Sales Cloud Implementation and User Training
The client's vision was to have the appropriate tools, besides access to data, to carry out their day-to-day duties as their sales representatives. This will ensure that the client will continue growing and serving their industries.
The client contacted me to review their current business processes and practices and seek advice on implementing Salesforce Sales Cloud and training their sales representatives and staff.
The following scope was developed and implemented:
• Configuration of users, roles, profiles, and permission sets; configuration of record types, page layouts, and list views.
• Lead management configuration, including lead assignment configuration, account, and contact duplicate management.
• Reports and dashboards, including auditing existing reports and creating new reports.
• Data migration from existing enterprise to the new professional Salesforce ORG and duplicate management.
• Product (opportunity line item) and pricing management configuration
development of a document archiving solution.
Salesforce to NetSuite Integration with Dell Boomi
Using the Dell Boomi platform, I delivered a seamless integration between a SaaS system enabling an automated quote-to-cash process. The engagement was delivered within a matter of a few weeks with a flexible integration framework that's easily extensible to cater to any future changes in the business process.
PROJECT BRIEF
• Integration between standard as well as customized objects defined in SaaS applications.
• Supported advanced transformation logic such as cross-reference lookups and scripting.
• An error-handling approach ensuring no transactions are lost in the middleware and passed on to the source record of the transaction for easy identification and resolution.
