Salesforce CPQ Implementation

The client is a multinational energy and technology company that generates, maintains, and distributes electricity and natural gas. They wanted to make the process transparent, from preparing a quote to initiating the contract or adding any changes. In combination with Vlocity and Salesforce, we built a solution for the process, starting with the quotation using CPQ. I made the entire process transparent and analyzed the future strategy. Additionally, I created links with SAP and Oracle utilities and implemented a Salesforce solution that dealt with the process from a lead and conversion to a final order.

Service Cloud and Pardot Implementation

Helped the client automate the existing processes, such as task management and user activity monitoring, using Process Builder, Salesforce Flow, and Apex development. I also helped them integrate Service Cloud and Pardot into the existing Salesforce solution to make the support team's management and system operation smoother.

In order to properly maintain the operating systems and ensure constant improvements and updates, the client looked for a reliable resource that could take care of Service Cloud and Pardot integrations and help with process automation.

With the help of the delivered solutions, the client was able to increase the productivity of his agents and enrich the customer experience. The time required to navigate several management systems was resolved by implementing all the necessary third-party tools for everyday agent tasks.

Salesforce AppExchange App Development

The client dealt with data processing and helping other businesses comply with customer data protection. They decided to create a solution that could be integrated into any Salesforce instance as an unmanaged package and customized according to the customer's need to automate this process, and they started the development.

It was decided to develop the AppExchange application to allow companies to enable their customers to opt out of gathering personal data. It also allows them to request all the personal information that the company stores. Customers can even delete it after identity verifications and data exporting is automated. This program also manages client requests by routing and escalation rule execution.

Netsuite Salesforce Integration Using Dell Boomi

The client's requirement was to integrate Netsuite and Salesforce using the Dell Boomi platform. To ensure sales order synchronization, they needed to create orders in Netsuite the same way they made them in their Salesforce account. Additionally, they required an error log record for mapping errors, which would be stored in a custom record. The client also wanted invoices from Netsuite to be synced to their Salesforce account.

SOLUTION
1. To address these challenges, I created an account in Salesforce and integrated it with Netsuite using Dell Boomi. I mapped the fields from Salesforce to Netsuite using the Dell Boomi platform.

2. To sync invoices from Salesforce to Netsuite, I followed two steps: creating the mapping of objects Invoicing in both Salesforce and Netsuite and batch processes for synching the invoice to Salesforce.

3. Error log report. In Boomi, if any request fails, the error will be reported back to the system. If the error occurs during the sales order creation to Netsuite, it will report back to Salesforce using the response.
