Our solution

The solutions by Synebo were focused on addressing the client’s challenges. We utilized a multi-faceted approach that included the following interventions:

1. Documentation of Existing Code:

We recognized the importance of understanding the client’s current Salesforce setup thoroughly. To achieve this, the team began by meticulously documenting the existing codebase. This step was crucial for gaining insights into the existing features, their functionality, and any areas that required improvement.

2. Collaboration with the Product Owner (PO):

Close collaboration with the company’s Product Owner (PO) was established as a cornerstone of the solution. This involved regular meetings and discussions to gain a deep understanding of the client’s requirements and priorities. Our team actively worked with the PO to identify pain points, desired improvements, and new feature requests.

3. Implementing New Features:

The team worked closely with the in-house team of the client to define the specifications for new features. This included gathering user stories, creating wireframes, and conducting feasibility assessments. Once the requirements were clear, our team executed the development and testing of these features, ensuring they seamlessly integrated with the existing system.

4. Fixing Existing Features:

To address the need for fixing existing features, we carried out a comprehensive analysis of the identified issues. This involved debugging, code refactoring, and performance optimization as necessary. The goal was to enhance the functionality and reliability of the existing features.

  1. Integrations for Payment Processing:

We implemented a seamless integration with BBVA and Financeforce that enables to conduct financial transactions. We also developed a transaction integration on the Salesforce Community platform, leveraging Aura components to create a user-friendly interface. Now, partners can easily select and pay for marketing plans, which are represented as invoices in Salesforce, containing all necessary information. The end payment solution includes 3D Secure and other security measures ensuring the safety of transactions.

In summary, our solution was centered around a thorough understanding of the client’s Salesforce environment through code documentation. We have been engaged in close collaboration with the Product Owner to prioritize new feature implementation and the resolution of existing issues, all while ensuring that the client’s Salesforce system meets their evolving needs effectively and efficiently.
