Lime Supply, a UK-based B2B-focused supplier of professional cleaning and facility management products, required a robust WooCommerce Salesforce integration. Their operations serve both business customers and individual buyers, requiring dynamic pricing, customer-specific catalogs, and precise order management across digital and CRM systems.
To support rapid growth and operational accuracy, Lime Supply relied on WooCommerce for online commerce and Salesforce for customer, pricing, and order management. However, as business complexity increased, they needed a deeply customized, bidirectional integration that could handle advanced pricing structures, B2B/B2C account models, and real-time order updates.
