AI · AgentforceReal estate asset management

Remake Asset Management · Real estate fund manager (SCPI)

Remake automates its asset management with Agentforce

The challenge

Manual processes spread across several teams, data scattered between tools: Remake needed a Salesforce + Data 360 foundation able to absorb AI agent automation without making teams’ daily work more complex.

Our approach

  • Audit of existing processes and data mapping
  • Data 360 architecture to make the data exposed to agents reliable
  • Configuration of 5 Agentforce agents
  • Phased rollout and team training

The result

Four processes automated, three teams working with the agents every day and a productivity gain measured at 25%. Remake talks about the project itself in a video.

Marketing · Marketing CloudRetail

Major cultural and leisure retail chain · Nationwide network, three business teams on Salesforce

Marketing Cloud and Service Cloud: a day-to-day partner for three business teams

The challenge

The retailer has used Marketing Cloud and Service Cloud for several years. Three business teams work in them every day: customer service, CRM marketing and B2B, with several IT teams involved in the projects. It needed a partner able to maintain the platforms, support the teams and drive new initiatives.

Our approach

  • Day-to-day support and run: data extensions, SQL queries, email builds, dashboards and reporting
  • Customer journeys set up and configured (Journey Builder)
  • Audits and clean-up projects led on both platforms
  • Partner solutions integrated: OwnBackup, Klark, Reelevant
  • Data 360 integration project led

The result

Teams more autonomous on their tools thanks to training and shared documentation, new features adopted, reduced technical debt and storage under control. The same people support the retailer over the long term, from run to projects.

CRM · Migration & ERPMedia & culture

Film and TV production group · Full productions and technical services

Moving off an in-house CRM without putting production at risk

The challenge

The group ran its business on an in-house tool that had become hard to maintain and to connect to the rest of its IT. The goal: move to Salesforce Sales Cloud without weakening long productions, its core business and most sensitive activity.

Our approach

  • Switchover in two phases: Salesforce first for short projects, the legacy tool kept for long productions
  • Salesforce data model and data migration strategy
  • Analysis of undocumented SQL Server and MySQL databases, mapping rules between the three systems
  • Integration flows Salesforce ↔ ERP ↔ legacy tool, with controls and error handling
  • Go-live of the integration infrastructure, documentation and support for the teams

The result

Salesforce entered the sales processes with controlled risk, thanks to the tools running side by side. The integration absorbed a major change late in the project: a sync planned every 24 hours, moved to every 5 minutes. Dependence on the legacy tool is shrinking, and phase 2 paves the way for a single Salesforce CRM across the group.

Service · Field ServiceEnergy

Subsidiary of an energy group · Operation and maintenance of solar power plants

Field technicians move to Salesforce Field Service

The challenge

Acquired through external growth, the subsidiary managed tickets, technician scheduling, corrective and preventive maintenance, inspections and cleaning campaigns in a business tool that was hard to evolve. The group chose Salesforce Field Service to optimise routes, keep customers better informed and build on the data already in its Salesforce: customers, sites, equipment, contracts.

Our approach

  • Target solution designed with the business teams: data model, business rules, user journeys
  • Field Service configuration: dispatch, territories, crews, variable shift patterns
  • Beyond-standard adaptations: several technicians per job, overnight stays for remote sites
  • Technical documentation available offline on mobile
  • Manufacturer alerts turned into work orders, customer confirmation SMS

The result

Deployment ran in two phases, the first focused on getting operations started. Every team moved to the new solution within two weeks, and maintenance is now part of the group’s Salesforce ecosystem.

CRM · Legacy takeoverMedia & advertising

International group of media agencies · 6 brands, 13 territories

Sales logic put back on track, ticket by ticket

The challenge

The group sells its campaigns in Salesforce Sales Cloud. Over the years, the org had piled up scattered automations: cost and agency fee calculations that were sometimes wrong, performance limits reached, every change had become risky. The clean-up was done as part of managed services rather than as a rebuild.

Our approach

  • Scattered automations brought together in a single Apex foundation
  • Cost, margin and agency fee calculations made reliable
  • Automatic sync of revenue schedules across product lines
  • Territory-specific rules made configurable without development
  • Legacy test classes that blocked deployments reworked

The result

All the sales logic now sits in a maintainable foundation that follows Salesforce best practice. Opening a territory or changing a cost rule no longer requires development, and future changes carry less risk.

CRM · IntegrationFranchise & services

National leader in home services · 130 franchised branches, targeting 200 by 2029

Franchisee recruitment: two tools finally connected in real time

The challenge

Leads lived in Salesforce Sales Cloud, franchisee applications in a specialist recruitment tool. With no link between the two, every candidate was entered twice, Salesforce had no visibility on progress, and a first integration attempt had been abandoned.

Our approach

  • Automatic capture of website applications and creation in Salesforce
  • Applications sent to the recruitment tool and progress returned to Salesforce, through the vendor’s API
  • Traceable exchanges with personal data masking
  • Go-live, documentation and operations guide handed over to the Salesforce administrator

The result

Delivered on time, where a first attempt had failed. Double entry is gone, every application reaches the recruitment tool in real time, and its progress is visible on the lead record. The client handles day-to-day maintenance itself.

Service · Quality integrationManufacturing

Building envelope manufacturer · French manufacturer of metal profiles and panels

Customer claims: from the quality software to Salesforce, with no re-entry

The challenge

Customer claims were logged and tracked in the quality software, then re-keyed by hand into Salesforce Sales Cloud by customer service, with no up-to-date view of their progress. The goal: feed Salesforce directly from the quality tool, history included.

Our approach

  • Custom integration, adapted to an API not designed for bulk processing
  • Daily sync: new claims created and open ones tracked
  • Claims isolated from other quality records, then the full history migrated
  • Working directly with IT and business teams, from design to go-live

The result

Customer service no longer re-keys claims, and their progress is visible in Salesforce to every team that uses it. A tight team, direct access to IT and the business, and a solution adapted to the limits of the existing systems.
