What is Salesforce Integration?

Salesforce integration is the method of connecting Salesforce with other platforms, apps, and tools. The integration facilitates an automated data flow between the systems. The integration is done through business logic, user interface, or through data. Salesforce allows you to integrate Email apps, CMS, Marketing Automation platforms, Cloud platforms, communication and collaboration tools, and more.

Benefits of Salesforce Integration

From driving productivity to automation to collaboration and beyond, Salesforce integration helps your business in many ways.

1. Driving Productivity

Say, for example, your organization uses both QuickBooks and Salesforce. Now your Sales Reps need data from both systems for their work. Wouldn’t it be better if your Rep can get access to all the data in Salesforce? This will help him save time spent on toggling between the two systems. Also, it will help him do his job at a higher speed.

2. Enabling Automation

There are many tasks in your organization that are repetitive and recurring and require little human intelligence. Wouldn’t it be better if such tasks can be automated so that your workforce can focus on tasks that need specialized skills and human intelligence? Salesforce integration enables the automation of many tasks.

3. Modernizing data infrastructure

We are witnessing unprecedented volumes of data being generated. However, enterprises are struggling to handle data and gain insights for informed decision-making. Salesforce Integration will help you modernize your data infrastructure and make the most of your customer and business data.

4. 360-degree customer view

Customer expectations are soaring. We are witnessing new shifts in customer behavior. Your business needs to connect deeply with customers to impress, influence, and retain them. To achieve this, you need to understand your customers better. An integrated system with data collected from multiple sources will help you get a complete view of customers’ needs, pain points, and behavior.

5. Reliable decision-making

Data is silos are the biggest hindrance to accurate and faster decision-making. Your leadership requires access to all data to contextualize a scenario, understand the benefits and risks and then make a decision. Sales integration with other systems like ERP, Finance Apps, and other platforms will give them a complete view to help them make better decisions.
