Salesforce Commerce Cloud Reviews

My use case is to register opportunities to store proposals and to support the sales life cycle.

One of the most valuable features of Salesforce Commerce Cloud is that we are in a transition, aiming to improve our KPIs from our sales team. This is one of my current challenges to register the leads in an easy way. Until now, I had an Excel file, and only when the lead is converted into a real opportunity, which means when the client asks me for a proposal, I jump from Excel to Salesforce Commerce Cloud. We wanted to be more professional in this point and to register the leads in Salesforce Commerce Cloud.

I need to understand how to do it in an easy way. Four years ago, we linked Salesforce Commerce Cloud with Outlook, and this was a nightmare because a contact in 20 opportunities is a common scenario. We have some services that are recurrent services, and the client asks us for a proposal for each quarter. We are renewing quarter by quarter, and after three years, you have 12 proposals only for that team. We have several teams because we work with big clients.

What happened in my Outlook and mobile phone was that the same contact appeared 12 times. This issue might be resolved now, but we switched off due to problems when I tried to send emails to personal accounts. They mixed with so many records, creating big confusion between the names and emails, putting emails for person B in the record of person A. This was truly problematic. Nevertheless, we now have a mobile app from Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and I will try to find an easy way to input that part.

We have multiple lines of business, such as supply chain and order to cash processes. We try to create business intelligence out of the data we collect, measuring metrics like average order volume, lifetime value of the customer, how many leads we have, percentage conversion, and lead density in specific geographic locations. 

Salesforce Commerce Cloud is used for retail operations like merchandising, product creation, discounts, and integrating with third-party systems for payments and reviews.

Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers effective architecture, ease of integration with third-party systems, and environments to test web store functionalities. Users can manage the site independently with the administration panel and benefit from features like easy marketing submissions, discount codes, and integration with Apple Pay and Bazaarvoice for reviews. 

The platform is also robust, with managed infrastructure by Salesforce.

We have a client onboarding their B2B customers onto Salesforce Commerce Cloud. They aim to organize their product offerings to provide various clients with different experiences. In B2B commerce, there are functionalities to customize pricing and user experience for each customer. 

The Salesforce platform for B2B commerce is designed to allow extensive customization on top of its standard features. For example, we can assign certain customers entitlements to specific products while hiding those from others. Pricing can vary based on factors such as geographic location, such as selling a product in the United States versus the UK. These costs can be managed effectively. 

The platform is highly integrable. We can integrate it with billing systems and external OMS. Although Salesforce provides its own OMS, we currently use it, but it can be customized to work seamlessly with other applications. We have onboarded several clients and are working on enhancing the platform further. This includes modifying the product list and detail pages and customizing the content displayed. We also handle notifications and create custom Lightning components for the UI to tailor the experience to each client's needs.

Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers a personalized experience tailored to each B2B client. It allows for easy customization according to specific customer needs. Additionally, once a customer finalizes a product with pricing, negotiations and settled prices can be logged into the transcript for future reference and reuse. These features make the platform highly adaptable and efficient, providing a seamless and customizable process tailored to individual preferences. 

I mainly work with Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Service Cloud, Sales Cloud, and Consumer Goods Cloud.

I currently use and oversee the implementation of AI features from Salesforce for customer engagement.

I automate some marketing and operation tasks through the Salesforce Commerce Cloud.

The main functionality I find valuable in Salesforce Commerce Cloud is the fact that it shares the same database as Service and Sales Cloud, which allows me to develop more quickly in terms of integration, because I already have all the accounts, contacts, leads, sales, and invoice data already on one platform, so I don't need to have many more integrations if I already have Salesforce as the core.

Both the multi-currency and multi-language capabilities of Salesforce Commerce Cloud are useful for me.

The main benefits that Salesforce provides for me are simplification of the operation and also saving effort and time.

I work on various projects implemented and managed for many retailers, ranging from luxury to classic products. Therefore, I handle projects of significant scale, ranging from half a million to two million in scope. We engage in a variety of business cases with different teams.

Commerce Cloud has a comprehensive nature, encompassing both production infrastructure and user-friendly tools that enhance daily operational efficiency and provide extensive experience and solutions.

Clients benefit from robust infrastructure with Salesforce Commerce Cloud, ensuring seamless performance even during peak activities like Black Friday. This stability eliminates pain points and boosts revenue through personalized customer experience and integrated solutions that replace advertising fees. 

I primarily use it for automation testing of the applications. 

There are a lot of valuable features. We have different models that allow us to perform various tasks. It's an end-to-end process, and we use it for our life sciences clients. It helps with tasks like calling, sampling, and more. So it is a very flexible solution.

We use the solution for business development, account management, lead management, and pipeline management activities.

The pipeline and lead management features are the most valuable.

Our clients use Salesforce Commerce Cloud to sell their goods retail online. This solution has been mostly used by American retailers.

The whole point is that SFCC concentrates on not re-inventing the wheel. For example, Wish-list functionality. These are the basic functionalities that should be in e-commerce, like Apple Pay or the social media authentication login. These kinds of functionalities were provided out of the box. So the customer's sign-in and sign-out and the whole check-out experiences are provided by Salesforce Commerce Cloud, which can be enhanced on the basis of need. The customization is done by the service providers on the basis of customers' needs. These kinds of basic solutions are there and the role of the SFCC service provider is to customize all of it. It is very extensive and the documentation is very strong. 

The community is not very large, around 4,000 - 5,000 good developers in the community who have actually been helping each other. This is not something available in other solutions because their solution is outsourced. People working in SFCC can only help other SFCC developers. This is a drawback in Salesforce which is not an open-source solution. Although it is closed source, at the same time it provides a high-quality service. The development is very easy, with continuous integration. Also, their continuous code development is easy.

Their methodology is such that all these can be easily implemented into Salesforce Commerce Cloud. So the software development life cycle becomes very practical in this way.
