With an extensive array of applications available for integration, choosing the right ones can feel overwhelming. Think Beyond cloud consulting partner offering integration solutions, highlights five key integrations that can bring particular value to organizations.
ETL & ESB Integration
The success of any CRM implementation heavily relies on the quality and quantity of data it processes. Salesforce is no exception, and relevant, up-to-date, comprehensive information is paramount for the reliability of the insights it provides as well as the effectiveness of its functionalities. To ensure Salesforce can accurately and efficiently pull, process, and synchronize data from diverse sources, including databases, warehouses, or other CRMs, Think Beyond recommends leveraging ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools like MuleSoft, Kafka, Jitterbit, or Tibco.
ERP Integration
Enterprise resource planning (ERP) software offers crucial features for a company’s management, work organization, and task automation that typically fall outside the scope of CRM systems. Depending on the specific product, they can cover core enterprise areas such as accounting, budgeting, supply chain management, and more. Think Beyond’s integrations with leading ERP systems like SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, IFS Cloud, and Sage enable real-time synchronization of financial, operational, and customer information.
E-commerce Integration
To enhance business efficiency further, a 360-degree view of the customer journey is required. For this reason, experts at Think Beyond believe that integration with e-commerce platforms like Shopify, Magento, or BigCommerce can provide companies with even more valuable customer insights by tracking interactions. Additionally, with proper integration, businesses can leverage personalized communication to increase conversions and enhance customer satisfaction.
Marketing Automation Integration
Optimizing marketing campaigns, particularly for businesses looking to scale up is impossible without automation. The Think Beyond Cloud consultant recommends integrating Salesforce with powerful tools such as GetResponse, HubSpot, Autopilot, Mautic, and others to turn the CRM platform into a comprehensive system with synchronized campaign and customer behavior data, even for multi-channel strategies.
Payment Processing Platform Integration
The functionality of Salesforce can be further expanded by connecting the CRM system with payment solutions, such as PayPal, Authorize.Net, or Stripe. This integration helps companies streamline the payment process with automated invoicing, transaction management, and payment tracking.
