The challenge
When it comes to purchasing cabinets, many customers don't know where to begin. That's why Cabinets.com allows website visitors to submit a design request so they can collaborate with a cabinet designer free of charge.
Cabinets.com faced the challenge of streamlining its design request process, which involved manual assignment of customers to designers and manual data entry into Salesforce CRM. The detailed nature of the process and the constant need for hands-on administration resulted in user errors and unreliable data quality, impacting operational efficiency and customer experience. Automating the flow of data throughout this process became a necessity instead of a "nice to have." Cabinets.com sought a sophisticated solution to automate data flow between its Magento eCommerce platform and Salesforce CRM, eliminating manual effort and ensuring data accuracy throughout the design request process.
The solution
TechNWeb provided Cabinets.com with a comprehensive solution through its Magento-Salesforce integration, designed to automate data synchronization and streamline the design request process efficiently and reliably. Magento architect Shawn Abramson, initially considering custom solutions, discovered TechNWeb's product and scheduled a consultation with CEO Igor Krasnykh. Through thorough needs analysis and architectural diagrams, Krasnykh demonstrated the capabilities of TechNWeb's integration solution, convincing Abramson of its suitability for Cabinets.com's needs. The well-architected and scalable nature of TechNWeb's extension allowed Abramson to incorporate custom logic seamlessly, enhancing the functionality of the existing framework. Abramson praised TechNWeb's coding sophistication and customer service, emphasizing the quality and responsiveness of the integration.
Since TechNWeb's integration has been in place at Cabinets.com, it's going "swimmingly, beautifully well," according to Abramson.
The outcome
The collaboration between TechNWeb and Cabinets.com yielded significant outcomes, including:
- Elimination of manual effort: TechNWeb's integration solution eliminated many hours of duplicated manual data entry, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing the risk of human errors such as mismatched data and typos.
- Enhanced customer experience: Automation of the design request process enabled Cabinets.com to provide an enhanced customer experience by streamlining workflows and reducing turnaround time for design requests.
- Improved data accuracy: By automating data synchronization between Magento and Salesforce, TechNWeb's solution ensured consistent and reliable data across platforms, enabling Cabinets.com to make informed decisions based on accurate insights.
- Scalable and reliable solution: TechNWeb's integration solution proved to be well-architected, scalable, and reliable, providing Cabinets.com with a robust foundation for future growth and innovation in its design request process.
To sum up his experience with TechNWeb in one word, Abramson said he would choose "quality," because "the integration is coded to best practices, it works well and it was designed intelligently."
