Challenges

Build effective search and filtering systems

to let commercial real estate brokers have a complete overview of their business in one place and minimize customizations needed. Brokers should be able to use Sales, Lease, Properties, Listings, Availabilities, Preferences Objects to track industry-specific data with pre-built fields and workflows.

Develop an advanced geo mapping feature

which will help brokers create call and email lists within different criteria, monitor lease expiry and move-in dates of clients, mass edit and mass update records, add notes, events, and calls simultaneously. This way, brokers will be able to improve their communications with clients, increase customer satisfaction rate, and boost deal close rates.

Implement a powerful dashboard with charts and graphs

Implement the feature which will allow users to convert the search results into detailed graphs and charts to get better data insights. Moreover, users should have the possibility to customize and prebuild charts for each object, find mistakes and missed data, and correct them. Also, users should be able to filter generated search results by picking certain segments of graphs and charts. In such a way, this functionality will help users to convert raw data into a visualized, meaningful, and valuable graph and chart content to better analyze data, spot trends, and improve multiple strategies.

Build the Salesforce related list generation tool

Develop an algorithm which allows end-users to generate related lists that include data from multiple Salesforce objects simultaneously. This way, users can build, save, and share custom related lists, append columns from all related objects to the result view in a few minutes. This way, the functionality allows end-users to have a full-blast overview of all accounts and their contacts accompanied with related objects in one place.

Create an easy-to-use Salesforce data export/import tool

Add ability to export Salesforce data to Excel (xls) or Comma-separated values (CSV) formats. It means that end-users will need to perform only two simple actions to automatically download the needed results in the required file type. So, users will be able to select the desired records and click the Export button to download a file with the chosen search results. Moreover, admins should be able to set the maximum amount limit for records that a specific user can export at one go. Finally, admins should have an opportunity to block Salesforce data export for a certain user or group of users if needed.

Develop a mass edit, email, follow, and unfollow feature

Create the functionality which will allow users to mass email, mass follow, and mass unfollow leads, contacts, and any other objects in Salesforce in a simple way. First, end-users should be able to create accurate lists with multiple criteria. For example, ‘email is not blank’ should be an available field in contrast to the basic Salesforce functionality which does not allow users to select this query. Second, brokers should get the chance to send mass emails to the cached system views and saved search results,. images, attachments from local machine or shared documents.

“ For years, we have supported our customers who use Salesforce by knowing their business so that we can help to optimize their orgs. We do this by continuously monitoring their critical business workflows and keeping them in line with ever-changing events that require changes. Though this process does resolve our customer's needs, the time from the case opening to the time that the case is resolved, on average, is about a day and half. Our customers understand this and simply wait for the report then use it once to handle their need and then the report, most of the time, doesn't get used again.

Through Ascendix Search testing, we have discovered that we are capable now of offering this tool to our customers to provide a user-friendly solution to capture a view of their data without writing reports. Users can now search many objects, select specific fields, filter, and export the view. ”

In this video, see overview of the Ascendix Search functionality:

“ We migrated over to Salesforce from Microsoft Dynamics with an overwhelmed amount of data and no easy, straightforward way to sift through it all. Ascendix Search has given us the ability to create customizable views for prospecting and targeted marketing. It is extremely user-friendly and great for those who were overwhelmed with reports. The page split view means you never have to toggle between records and your results and has been helpful when we need to visualize the data on a map. Ascendix Search has revolutionized the way our brokers cold-call. It has also given us valuable insight into where our data may be lacking and how to improve on that. ”
