Salesforce Techno-Functional Consultant à ORCHID Technologies
  • Afrique du Sud - Johannesburg
  • Je travaille ici depuis mars 2021

• As a Salesforce Techno-Functional Lead at RR Industries, I successfully implemented both Sales Cloud and Service Cloud, achieving a 20% increase in sales conversions, a 15% reduction in sales cycle time, and a 30% improvement in customer satisfaction scores. I configured and customized objects, fields, flows, and approval processes to optimize sales, marketing, and customer service operations, while securing the environment with user roles, permissions, and data sharing rules. Additionally, I developed custom Apex triggers, Visualforce pages, and Lightning Web Components to automate tasks, streamline flows, and address business needs. Using SOQL and SOSL queries, I built reports and dashboards for real-time insights into sales performance, customer engagement, and service metrics. By creating custom flows, I automated routine tasks, enforced business rules, and triggered specific actions based on pre-defined conditions. Additionally, I integrated third-party applications with Salesforce using APIs to enhance functionality and operational efficiency.

• Furthermore, I implemented Education Cloud for DreamHill International School, leading to a 20% increase in parent engagement and a 15% reduction in administrative time. I configured and customized objects, fields, flows, and approval processes to optimize school operations, secured the environment with user roles, permissions, and data sharing rules, and established seamless data integrations with other school systems using APIs and data management tools. Additionally, I developed custom Apex classes, Visualforce pages, and Lightning Web Components to address specific school needs and automate manual processes. Utilizing SOQL and SOSL queries, I built reports and dashboards for real-time insights into student progress, attendance, and school performance. I also created custom triggers and flows to automate routine tasks and enforce business rules, while integrating third-party applications with Education Cloud using APIs to extend functionality and streamline flows.
