Capitol Area Technology with Magento Salesforce Connector
Capitol Area Technology has earned a reputation as a trusted IT service provider by actively delivering a wide range of technology support and solutions to small and mid-sized businesses, including implementing powerful tools like the Magento Salesforce Connector.
Moreover, from cloud solutions to hardware support, the team ensures companies remain efficient, connected, and secure. As their customer base expanded, they recognized the growing need for a smarter, more streamlined approach to managing customer data and sales interactions, prompting them to embrace B2B Commerce in Magento Salesforce Connector.
The Challenge
Managing data across two separate platforms, Magento for online orders and Salesforce for CRM, became increasingly difficult for Capitol Area Technology. They were spending a lot of time manually updating customer details, order histories, and contact information in both systems.
This led to:
- Delays in order follow-ups
- Missed opportunities for sales and marketing
- Inconsistent customer records
- Extra time spent on data entry and fixing errors
The team realized they needed a better solution to connect their eCommerce platform with their CRM.
The Solution: Customized Magento Salesforce Connector
Capitol Area Technology partnered with eShopSync to tackle these challenges by implementing a tailored Magento Salesforce Connector. This integration created a real-time, bi-directional bridge between Magento and Salesforce, eliminating manual processes and improving data reliability.
Here’s a breakdown of the customizations that eShopSync developed specifically to meet Capitol Area Technology’s business needs:
Magento Salesforce Connector Custom Implementation Highlights:
- To begin with, the team created utility classes to enable bi-directional synchronization of all essential objects.
- They also developed an app, Salesforce Managed Package: “eShopSync for Magento B2B.”
- In addition, they built custom fields and objects to establish a robust, real-time connection between Magento and Salesforce.
Furthermore, the team enabled bi-directional sync for categories, ensuring seamless data flow from Magento to Salesforce.
- They set up bi-directional product synchronization, which included category assignments along with product data.
Additionally, they implemented customer bi-directional sync:
- Registering customers as Business Accounts
- Syncing guest customers as Person Accounts.
- Applied Change Data Capture (CDC) to reflect real-time changes in Price Book Entries.
CDC – In simple terms, it receives near-real-time changes of Salesforce records and synchronizes corresponding records in an external data store.
Streamlined order sync from Magento to Salesforce:
- Guest orders – Person Accounts
- Registered orders – Business Accounts
- Enabled bi-directional order sync, mapping account types accurately in both systems.
- Created Person Account Record Type specifically for guest customer handling.
Established image bi-directional sync:
- JPEG/PNG/JPG images now sync from Magento to Salesforce (requires CMS Workspace ID setup).
