OCloud Solutions: Your Trusted Partner in Offshore Salesforce Development
A successful online business requires more than just having an e-commerce store. Similarly, purchasing a Salesforce subscription alone will not guarantee positive results for your business. There is more to it. You made a wise decision to invest in Salesforce, the world’s leading CRM platform. However, to truly harness its potential, considering offshore Salesforce development can be a game-changer. Simply buying it is not enough.
Salesforce is a Customer Relationship Management platform from which companies of all sizes can benefit from. It can help them track their sales, look into customer interactions, and automate tasks. There is a reason, why Salesforce is at the top of the list, it’s due to its features of adaptability and customization. Yes, you can customize your Salesforce according to your business needs, to the extent of adding new features and integrations that weren’t available initially. For example, integrating your ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system with Salesforce.
To tailor Salesforce in a way that serves your business the best, you require the assistance of a skilled Salesforce developer who can handle all the customizations. For this job to be done efficiently, consider hiring a Salesforce development team. An offshore Salesforce development team can offer cost savings and access to a wider pool of experienced developers specialized in different areas of Salesforce.
What can an offshore salesforce development company do for me?
As a business owner, you know Salesforce can benefit you but customizing it with the help of a Salesforce development team can help you even more. According to our experience of working with various businesses, the following are a few of the various ways that businesses can customize Salesforce.
Integration
When you are running a business you know that there is not just one tool that is required. When you integrate it with several other tools or your own ERP tool, can provide multiple ways to analyze your business. Different kinds of integrations will lead to less manual data entry.
Customization
Tailoring Salesforce is all about making big or small changes, and adding new functionalities that efficiently manage your business needs. You can customize your Salesforce by creating different views for different users, like your founders and workers. These user-specific customized layouts are called user visibility. Similarly, you can customize default salesforce tables to your relevant business needs.
Synchronous flows
If you take customization one step further, you can build complete flows where the data is brought into salesforce via a channel and then the data can be used for any process. No need for manual data entry. The flows handle the data from source to destination.
New features
When talking about adding integrations, Salesforce takes us one step ahead and allows Salesforce developers to add new features that a business demands. These could be anything and as simple as adding a drop-down menu and putting in filters adding options giving you 2 different styles of viewing a certain dashboard or simply adding a new dashboard only for you. It goes as far as adding a new app on the Salesforce Lightning platform.
Automated reporting
In Salesforce you can set automated reports, which are presented in a visual format like piecharts or in text format. All kinds of data can be represented like so. Additionally, these reports can be customized to a great extent where only the relevant or required information is displayed.
Automation
When you can do so much with Salesforce, you can also add automation. You can ask the developer to automate a task the way you want it. Let’s say your firm does email marketing but you use Salesforce for data management. You can add automation, the email platform will be integrated and data from the email can be automatically added to the Salesforce platform.
In life, you may not get all the things the way you want but in Salesforce you can, just ask the developer to make the required changes and they with their coding magic can make it happen.
