Connected Vehicles

Revolutionizing the Automotive Industry: Salesforce’s Connected Car App The automotive industry has always been a beacon of innovation, consistently pushing the boundaries to enhance the driving experience. From the iconic Model T and the assembly line to today’s electric and autonomous vehicles, the evolution of automobiles has been driven by an unyielding pursuit of progress. I actually purchased a new-to-me car today, and with the connected vehicle on the horizon I’m kind of glad I’ll be able to upgrade in a couple years. Bluetooth and back up cameras are great. But a car that can tell the dealership to get me on the horn before some automotive calamity occurs? The future is here, my friends. Connected Vehicles for Better Experiences Now, as digital transformation reshapes industries, a new chapter is emerging in automotive innovation: the connected car. Leading this charge is Salesforce, a global powerhouse in customer relationship management (CRM), with the introduction of its groundbreaking Connected Car App, poised to redefine in-car experiences for both drivers and passengers. From my personal buying experience today, the car business could use some customer relationship management! The Future of In-Car Connectivity Salesforce’s Connected Car App is more than just a technological enhancement; it represents a fundamental shift in how we interact with our vehicles. By leveraging Salesforce’s Customer 360 platform, this app creates personalized, engaging experiences that go far beyond traditional automotive features. The Connected Car App is designed to make every journey more intuitive and efficient, offering real-time insights and services tailored to the unique needs of each driver. Whether it’s maintenance alerts, optimized route suggestions based on traffic, or personalized entertainment options, the app transforms the car into a truly smart companion on the road. A GPS feature? I guess I can plan on deleting Waze off my phone in the near future! Powered by Salesforce Customer 360 At the heart of the Connected Car App is Salesforce’s Customer 360 platform, which delivers a comprehensive, 360-degree view of each customer. This integration ensures that the app provides tailored experiences based on a deep understanding of the driver’s preferences, habits, and history. It isn’t going to just know you by a vehicle loan number, a VIN number, or even just an email address. For instance, a driver who frequently takes long road trips might receive customized recommendations for rest stops, dining options, and attractions along their route. Meanwhile, commuters could benefit from real-time updates on traffic, weather, and parking availability. The app’s ability to anticipate and respond to the driver’s needs in real time distinguishes it from traditional in-car systems. I can just hear my car now, advising me it has been one hour since I stopped for coffee, and she’s worried about my sanity. Enhancing Customer Loyalty and Satisfaction with Connected Vehicles The Connected Car App offers significant potential to boost customer loyalty and satisfaction. By delivering a personalized driving experience, automakers can strengthen relationships with customers, transforming each driving journey into an opportunity to build brand loyalty. If Toyota is suddenly going to treat me like Shannan Hearne instead of customer # xxxxx would be ecstatic. Additionally, the app’s capability to collect and analyze data in real time opens new avenues for automakers to engage with their customers. Predictive maintenance reminders, targeted promotions, and special offers are just a few examples of how the app fosters a deeper connection between the brand and the driver. Oh, yeah. My connected vehicle app is DEFINITELY going to be talking to me about changing my oil (I’m not exactly diligent), how great the latest model of Toyota is (I drove a Corolla for 18 years and have also owned a Tacoma, a Tundra, and a Prius), and if it would add coffee coupons I would be golden. A New Era of Automotive Innovation Salesforce’s Connected Car App marks a pivotal moment in the automotive industry’s digital transformation. As vehicles become increasingly connected, the opportunities for innovation are boundless. Salesforce is at the forefront with a solution that not only enhances the driving experience but also empowers automakers to build stronger, more meaningful relationships with their customers. In a world where customer expectations are constantly growing, the Connected Car App is a game-changer. Customers, even car owners, expect their brands to know them and recognize them. By integrating Salesforce’s CRM capabilities directly into vehicles, the app creates a seamless, personalized experience that stands out. As we look ahead, it’s clear that the Connected Car App is just the beginning of an exciting new era of automotive innovation. As a marketer at heart and a technologist by trade, I’m really excited about the potential here. Connected Vehicle: A Unified Digital Foundation Salesforce’s Connected Vehicle platform provides automakers with a unified, intelligent digital foundation, enabling them to reduce development time and roll out features and updates faster than ever before. This platform allows seamless integration of vehicle, Internet of Things (IoT), driver, and retail data from various sources, including AWS IoT FleetWise and Snapdragon® Car-to-Cloud Connected Services Platform, to enhance driver experiences and ensure smooth vehicle operation. Can you imagine a smart app like the Connected Vehicle talking to your loyalty apps for gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores? I would be driving down the interstate and the app will tell me there is a Starbucks ahead AND I have a 10% off coupon. Automakers and mobility leaders like Sony Honda Mobility are already exploring the use of Connected Vehicle to deliver better experiences for their customers. The platform’s ability to access and integrate data from any source in near real time allows automakers to personalize driver experiences, in-car offers, and safety upgrades. Why It Matters By 2030, every new vehicle sold will be connected, and the advanced, tech-driven features they provide will be increasingly important to consumers. A recent Salesforce survey revealed that drivers already consider connected features to be nearly as important as a car’s brand. Connected Vehicle accelerates this evolution, enabling automakers to immediately deliver branded, customized experiences tailored to

When and Why Should You Use a Flow in Salesforce? Flow is Salesforce’s premier tool for creating configurable automation and guided user experiences. If you need to build a process that doesn’t require the complexity of Apex code, Flow should be your go-to solution. It’s versatile, user-friendly, and equipped to handle a wide range of business automation needs.

Box Acquires Alphamoon
07Aug

Box Acquires Alphamoon

Box Inc. has acquired Alphamoon to enhance its intelligent document processing (IDP) capabilities and its enterprise knowledge management AI platform. Now that Box acquires Alphamoon, it will imr improves IDP. Box Acquires Alphamoon IDP goes beyond traditional optical character recognition (OCR) by applying AI to scanned paper documents and unstructured PDFs. While AI technologies like natural language processing (NLP), workflow automation, and document structure recognition have been around for some time, Alphamoon introduces generative AI (GenAI) into the mix, providing advanced capabilities. According to Rand Wacker, Vice President of AI Product Strategy at Box, the integration of GenAI helps not only with summarizing and extracting content from documents but also with recognizing document structures and categorizing them. GenAI works alongside existing OCR and NLP tools, making the digital conversion of paper documents more accurate. Box Acquires Alphamoon – Not LLM Although Box hasn’t acquired a large language model (LLM) outright, it has gained a toolkit that will enhance its Box AI platform. Box AI already uses retrieval-augmented generation to combine a user’s content with external LLMs, ensuring data security while training Box AI to better recognize and categorize documents. Alphamoon’s technology will further refine this process, enabling administrators to create tools more efficiently within the Box ecosystem. “For example, if Alphamoon’s OCR misreads or misextracts something, the system can adjust that specific part and feed it back into the LLM,” Wacker explained. “This approach is powered by an LLM, but it’s specifically trained to understand the documents it encounters, rather than relying on generic content from the internet.” Previewing an upcoming report from Deep Analysis, founder Alan Pelz-Sharpe shared that a survey of 500 enterprises across various industries, including financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, and government, revealed that 53% of enterprise documents still exist on paper. This highlights the need for Box users to have more precise tools to digitize contracts, letters, invoices, faxes, and other paper-based documents. Alphamoon’s generative AI-driven IDP solution allows for human oversight to ensure that attributes are correctly imported from the original documents. Pelz-Sharpe noted that IDP is challenging, but AI has made significant advancements, especially in handling imperfections like crumpled paper, coffee stains, and handwriting. He added that this acquisition addresses a critical gap for Box, which previously relied on partners for these capabilities. Box Buys Alphamoon – Integration Box plans to integrate Alphamoon’s tools into its platform later this year, with deeper integrations expected next year. These will include no-code app-building capabilities related to another acquisition, Crooze, as well as Box Relay’s forms and document generation tools.

MuleSoft Certifications Now Unified with Salesforce Certifications
09May

MuleSoft Certifications Now Unified with Salesforce Certifications

MuleSoft Certifications Now Unified with Salesforce Certifications As of May 6, 2024, MuleSoft certifications have been officially integrated into the Salesforce Certification program, with management now handled through Webassessor. This move simplifies the certification process, enabling professionals to manage both their Salesforce and MuleSoft credentials within a single platform, streamlining maintenance and tracking. This article delves into the merging of MuleSoft certifications with Salesforce’s Trailhead platform, highlighting what this means for professionals in both ecosystems. The update offers a significant improvement in managing certifications, particularly for those working across both platforms, as Salesforce has owned MuleSoft since 2018. We’ll cover what this change entails for current certification holders, key dates in the transition, and the new opportunities this unified platform brings—including new certifications. What is MuleSoft? MuleSoft is a leading integration platform that enables businesses to connect applications, data, and devices seamlessly. As an Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS), MuleSoft facilitates the integration of cloud-based and on-premise applications, ensuring smooth workflows across various systems. Acquired by Salesforce in 2018, MuleSoft powers the integration layer of the Salesforce ecosystem, playing a crucial role in enabling businesses to unify their systems and create connected experiences. With the increasing demand for digital transformation and connected systems, MuleSoft expertise is becoming ever more valuable in the job market. MuleSoft Certifications and Training MuleSoft certifications validate expertise in designing, building, and managing integrations using the Anypoint Platform. Prior to this transition, MuleSoft certifications were handled through the MuleSoft Training portal, which was separate from Salesforce’s broader certification system. While this independent platform was functional, it required separate accounts and processes, making exam registration and certification management more cumbersome. By integrating MuleSoft certifications into Trailhead, Salesforce has simplified this process, offering a unified, more user-friendly experience for managing certifications. Transition Timeline The following key dates marked the transition: What This Means for Current MuleSoft Certification Holders For those already certified through MuleSoft, the migration to Salesforce’s certification system should have occurred automatically. MuleSoft credentials were transferred to their Trailblazer profiles for anyone with existing Webassessor accounts. A confirmation email was sent to ensure that the transition was successful. For those without a Webassessor account, one was created on their behalf, with login details provided via email by April 2024. Certification Maintenance MuleSoft certification holders with maintenance pending as of January 1, 2024, are not required to complete additional tasks through the old system. The expectation is that certification holders will have ample time to familiarize themselves with the new Trailhead process before maintenance requirements are introduced in 2025. New Certifications on Trailhead With the migration, certifications such as the MuleSoft Certified Catalyst Specialist and MuleSoft Certified Hyperautomation Specialist have also been integrated into Trailhead. Though not entirely new, these certifications were part of the legacy MuleSoft program, originally launched in late 2022 and early 2023. Summary The integration of MuleSoft certifications into Salesforce’s Trailhead platform marks a significant step towards a unified, more efficient credentialing process. This transition simplifies certification management, making it easier for professionals to stay current across both platforms. By merging these certifications, Salesforce is empowering professionals to fully leverage the combined capabilities of Salesforce and MuleSoft, further enhancing their skill sets in an increasingly interconnected digital landscape.

Salesforce Developer Toolkit

Salesforce Developer Toolkit

Have you ever been overwhelmed by a complex project with numerous tasks and deadlines? I felt the same until I discovered Salesforce tools. One afternoon, a colleague introduced me to these tools, and everything changed. Suddenly, I could manage my work more effectively, collaborate better with my team, and consistently deliver outstanding results. Salesforce tools completely transformed the way I work. They showed me that with the right technology, teams don’t just meet expectations—they exceed them, driving better business performance. Let’s explore how Salesforce tools can lead to better development outcomes and help you stay ahead of the competition. Key Takeaways Understanding Salesforce Development Tools Diving into Salesforce development tools reveals how essential they are for boosting productivity and streamlining processes. Each tool plays a unique role in making Salesforce adaptable for developers. For instance, using the Salesforce Developer Edition allows me to test apps without real data, helping me create better solutions. Scratch Orgs provide a space to develop apps for specific needs, offering flexibility in my work. The Salesforce CLI simplifies managing and integrating different tools, enhancing my overall development workflow. By learning and mastering these tools, I’ve significantly improved my technical skills, gaining confidence to tackle various projects knowing I have the right tool for each task. Key Benefits of Using Salesforce Tools Salesforce tools have revolutionized how we work and engage with clients. One of the standout benefits is the clear visibility into customer data. This makes our interactions more personalized and effective, as everyone on the team has access to the necessary customer information. Team collaboration also becomes more seamless. Sharing vital information removes delays, streamlining the development process and ensuring we all work towards the same goals. Automation is another game-changer. It reduces manual tasks, allowing us to focus on high-value activities. Companies that embrace these tools often see improved sales and overall business performance. Salesforce Tools for Better Development The right tools can transform your development process. Salesforce tools enhance every aspect, from understanding customer needs to improving team collaboration. By making both teams and customers more visible, these tools lead to better strategies and outcomes. Improved Customer Visibility Customer insight is crucial to business success. Salesforce tools provide immediate access to customer data, enabling us to tailor services to meet their needs. I can now predict trends and respond quickly, enhancing the customer experience. This visibility also allows businesses to adjust plans rapidly, leading to faster improvements. Enhanced Collaboration Across Teams Collaboration is key to success. Salesforce tools enable seamless communication and information sharing across teams, reducing errors and making development smoother. As teams work more efficiently together, productivity rises, and customer satisfaction improves. These tools have fundamentally changed how my team operates, driving us toward our goals. Getting Started with Salesforce Tools When I began exploring Salesforce tools, I realized how crucial it was to understand the setup process. It’s not just about choosing the right tool—it’s about selecting one that aligns with your business needs. I spent considerable time researching and selecting the best tools for my organization, which resulted in smoother operations. Setting up accounts in an organized manner also prevented potential issues down the line. Training was equally important. I provided my team with comprehensive resources and hands-on experience with Salesforce tools. This approach ensured everyone was prepared to use the tools effectively and enhance our productivity. Salesforce Developer Toolkit For a Salesforce developer, the Salesforce Developer Toolkit is essential to improving workflow and productivity. Using the right tools significantly enhances both efficiency and output quality. Essential Tools for Every Salesforce Developer The toolkit includes indispensable tools like the Developer Console and Salesforce Extensions for Visual Studio Code. These make coding easier and allow for better testing and debugging. The Ant Migration Tool is invaluable for transferring project components, tracking changes, and deploying updates seamlessly. Streamlining Development Processes with Salesforce By utilizing the Salesforce Developer Toolkit, I’ve accelerated development processes. Integrated environments and robust command-line interfaces make app deployment faster. These tools enhance my coding efficiency, allowing me to deliver exceptional Salesforce apps to clients with speed and precision. Top Salesforce Tools to Consider When starting with Salesforce, it’s essential to identify the tools that best meet your needs. Salesforce Lightning, Salesforce CLI, and Workbench stand out for their powerful features and benefits. Salesforce Lightning Salesforce Lightning simplifies app development with its intuitive interface. Its drag-and-drop functionality enables quick assembly of components, allowing me to focus on adding value rather than technical complexities. Salesforce CLI For developers who prefer command-line interfaces, Salesforce CLI is an excellent choice. It automates tasks, improves workflow efficiency, and reduces errors, ultimately enhancing productivity. Workbench and the Ant Migration Tool Workbench is a versatile tool for managing data and running SOQL queries, making it a favorite among developers. The Ant Migration Tool ensures smooth metadata transfers between Salesforce environments, ensuring seamless development. Optimizing Salesforce Development Processes Optimizing development in Salesforce involves improving efficiency and productivity. Automated testing, for instance, simplifies repetitive tasks, allowing developers to focus on more complex challenges. Using scratch orgs for feature branches is another winning strategy. It enables developers to work on new features without affecting the main codebase—a must in fast-paced environments. Agile methodologies also transform development processes. Iterative practices ensure that workflows stay up-to-date with evolving requirements, and continuous feedback drives consistent improvement. Integrating Third-Party Tools with Salesforce When enhancing my Salesforce setup, I often consider third-party integrations. Salesforce AppExchange offers a variety of apps that can be tailored to fit specific business needs. This flexibility is invaluable. Salesforce API integration makes it easy to connect Salesforce with other apps, allowing for better data management and automation. By leveraging these integrations, I’ve enhanced workflows and improved efficiency across the board. Best Practices for Enhancing Salesforce Development Maximizing Salesforce development success depends on following best practices, such as leveraging automation and community resources. Automating Routine Tasks with Salesforce Tools Automation is central to my daily routine. Tools like Process Builder and Workflow automate repetitive tasks, saving time

Migrating from Zoho to Salesforce
03Jun

Migrating from Zoho to Salesforce

Migrating from Zoho to Salesforce is a major undertaking that can significantly enhance a business’s CRM processes as it scales. To ensure a smooth transition, careful planning, data preparation, and execution are essential for accurate and efficient data transfer. In this guide, we’ll outline a step-by-step approach to migrating from Zoho to Salesforce, covering everything from pre-migration planning to post-migration follow-up. Step 1: Pre-Migration Planning 1. Evaluate Your Business RequirementsBegin by assessing your current and future CRM needs. Identify critical functionalities in Zoho that you depend on and determine which Salesforce features will either replace or enhance them. Consider: This evaluation ensures that Salesforce is configured to align with your business processes during the migration. 2. Assign a Project TeamForming a dedicated project team is crucial for a successful migration. Include stakeholders from various departments, designate a project manager to oversee the migration, and enlist CRM specialists familiar with both Zoho and Salesforce. You might also consider hiring a certified Salesforce consultant or partner to assist with technical aspects. 3. Backup Your DataBefore starting the migration, back up your data from Zoho. Export all relevant information, including: This backup ensures you have a complete copy in case any issues arise during the migration. Step 2: Preparing Salesforce for Migration 1. Customize Salesforce to Fit Your NeedsNow is the time to tailor Salesforce to reflect your existing business processes. Review the custom fields, objects, workflows, and automations in Zoho, replicating or enhancing them in Salesforce. Salesforce’s high customization level allows you to optimize your CRM for your team’s specific needs. 2. Set Up IntegrationsIf you’ve been using third-party tools integrated with Zoho, establish the corresponding integrations in Salesforce. The Salesforce AppExchange offers a range of integrations, from email marketing platforms to accounting systems. Ensure the necessary tools are connected before migrating your data. Step 3: Data Migration 1. Map Data FieldsTo facilitate accurate data transfer between Zoho and Salesforce, map your Zoho data fields to their Salesforce counterparts. For instance, “Account Name” in Zoho should correspond to “Account” in Salesforce. Create equivalent custom fields in Salesforce if they exist in Zoho. 2. Cleanse Your DataData cleansing is vital to ensure only relevant, accurate, and up-to-date information is migrated. Remove duplicates, outdated contacts, and incorrect data from Zoho. This step streamlines the migration process and enhances the quality of your Salesforce database. 3. Choose a Migration ToolSelect an appropriate tool for migrating data between CRMs, such as: Depending on your data’s complexity, choose a tool that provides additional support, such as mapping or automation features. 4. Perform a Test MigrationConduct a test migration using a subset of your data before proceeding with the full migration. This allows you to verify that everything transfers correctly and identify any issues with data formatting, relationships between objects, or custom fields. Adjust your mapping and migration processes based on the test results. Step 4: Full Data Migration Once you’re satisfied with the test migration results, proceed with the complete data migration from Zoho to Salesforce. This process may take time, depending on your data’s size and complexity, so plan for downtime or staggered migrations to minimize disruptions to your team’s workflow. Step 5: Post-Migration Setup and Testing 1. Validate Your DataAfter the full migration, verify that all data has been transferred accurately. Check for discrepancies between Zoho and Salesforce records, ensuring that relationships (e.g., contacts linked to accounts) remain intact. 2. Recreate Automation and WorkflowsRe-establish any automations, workflows, or triggers that were functioning in Zoho within Salesforce. Utilize Salesforce’s automation tools, like Process Builder or Flow, to replicate these processes. Adjust them as necessary to leverage Salesforce’s advanced capabilities. 3. Train Your TeamSuccessful migration extends beyond data transfer; it’s crucial to ensure your team is equipped to use Salesforce effectively. Conduct training sessions focused on new features and workflows, providing documentation or cheat sheets to facilitate adjustment. 4. Monitor System PerformancePost-migration, monitor your Salesforce instance for any performance issues or data inconsistencies. Make necessary adjustments and ensure that integrations are functioning as expected. Step 6: Post-Migration Follow-Up 1. Run Parallel OperationsConsider operating both systems in parallel for a brief period to confirm Salesforce is fully functional before phasing out Zoho. This allows your team to continue using Zoho if critical issues arise in Salesforce during the transition. 2. Optimize Your Salesforce InstanceOver time, identify opportunities to further customize and optimize Salesforce to meet your evolving needs. Regularly review workflows, automations, and reporting to fully utilize Salesforce’s advanced features. Who Should You Work With A successful migration from Zoho to Salesforce involves key stakeholders from various departments to ensure the new CRM setup aligns with company processes. Typical Migration Timelines The duration of a Zoho to Salesforce migration typically depends on your data’s complexity and the required customizations. For smaller businesses with straightforward CRM setups, the process may take 4 to 6 weeks, encompassing planning, data mapping, testing, and training. However, larger organizations with extensive custom fields, workflows, and third-party integrations may require 3 to 6 months. Allow ample time for thorough testing and validation to ensure data accuracy and system functionality before going live. User training and post-migration follow-up are also critical for a smooth transition. Conclusion Migrating from Zoho to Salesforce is a growth step in enhancing your company’s CRM capabilities and positioning it for future growth. By meticulously planning your migration, cleansing your data, and configuring Salesforce to meet your business requirements, you can facilitate a smooth transition and leverage Salesforce’s powerful features from day one. With the right preparation and support, your business will be well-equipped to scale, streamline operations, and achieve long-term success using Salesforce.

With over a decade of experience in CRM development, Tectonic assists companies in implementing robust Salesforce solutions that empower their sales, customer service, and marketing processes.

And of course, your Salesforce implementation partner. As an experienced Salesforce Partner, we follow a proven six-phase approach to ensure project success: Kickoff, Discovery, Build, Test, Deploy, and Service. Is it possible to implement Salesforce independently? Yes, but, we strongly discourage attempting a solo Salesforce implementation, especially if you are new to the platform. While Salesforce provides an admin-friendly interface, the risk of creating a non-scalable solution is high without expert guidance. Do you need a Salesforce implementation partner? In cases involving large-scale projects requiring a team of 10+ Consultants, engaging a Certified Implementation Partner is recommended. What are the critical success factors for Salesforce implementation? A well-defined strategy aligned with business goals, user training, effective data migration, proper customization, ongoing support, user adoption, clear communication, and commitment to continuous improvement are crucial elements. How long does Salesforce implementation take? On average, implementation for core products like Sales Cloud takes 5 to 12 weeks. The timeline may extend for a few months with add-ons or highly customized projects. How challenging is Salesforce implementation? Implementing Salesforce can be challenging and overwhelming, with up to 70% of CRM platform implementations facing difficulties. Salesforce itself recommends working with a Salesforce Implementation partner. One of the biggest challenges with the Salesforce platform is that it is highly customizable, this is not software you install and run with. Being highly customizable, however, is also why Salesforce is the number one CRM solution in the world. Why do Salesforce implementations fail? Failures in Salesforce implementations can result from fundamental data problems such as incomplete, inaccurate, or duplicative data, leading to issues like poor customer experience and incorrect budget forecasting. The lifecycle of Salesforce development involves planning, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance phases. The development process includes analyzing requirements, designing a solution, building and testing, and deploying it to end users. Is it time to explore bringing in a Salesforce implementation partner? Contact Tectonic today.
