Custom Salesforce CRM implementation for India’s top online furniture retailer

Today any business can thrive if they can find a way to facilitate seamless CRM integration that can successfully automate customer query escalations, while being highly intuitive so that new Customer Service (CS) executives can learn the ropes easily. With the Daffodil Salesforce Development team’s expertise, this was made possible for the online furniture retailer. The organization’s CRM data was developed using Apex Visualforce pages and a practical, yet visually pleasing UI developed with Lightning Web Components helped flatten the learning curve for new users.

The more business-specific integrations and improvements implemented by the Daffodil team are explained in detail below:

Improved Case Handling Aspects

Earlier customer cases had to be assigned to different CS persons manually, while the improved CRM does so automatically using a round robin algorithm implemented by the Daffodil team. The new user creation and case assignment is done through an external system known as Wulverine and re-triggering of services is carried out so that there are no failing APIs like before.

Performance Improvement

The Daffodil team has incorporated effective strategies for error handling in the CRM system, so that CS representatives can focus all their efforts solely on customer satisfaction. With pagination, more orders can be managed on a single page and the former timeout errors associated with order management have been eliminated.

Dynamic User Allocation And KPI Transparency

Every time a new development center was established in a region, there were issues with allocating cases in that region to that center as they were going to a common queue causing uneven workloads for different centers. This was resolved with automated dynamic allocation of logged cases based on the location of the case. This helped delegate the management of cases and distribute workloads evenly across development centers. Calculation and user efforts and KPIs, i.e., case handling time has become more detailed and transparent so that efforts and performance can be optimized.

Commitment And Communication

There were commitment breaches to be fixed so that honoring various Service-level Agreements (SLA) became a smooth task for the furniture retailer. When customer cases are not responded to by the stakeholder assigned for it, through automated escalation and e-mail alerts the SLA compliance is taken care of. The CS team can now keep track of escalations and reduce the number of escalations effectively.

Tracking And Reports

Tracking of case history is more transparent now. Custom fields have been created to capture specific metrics of the way a case has been handled. Additionally the case history can be viewed as reports across different versions of the designated dashboards. All activities are captured either as calls, comments or emails and each activity can be viewed in the form of monthly, daily, annual statistical reports.
