Our client, a financial services organization, had internal teams manually entering deal data into a system that lacked structure, resulting in duplicate records, inconsistent naming, and inefficient form navigation.
Our client sought to overcome an overly complex product catalog and the absence of address validation, which required manual typing and led to frequent errors.
We modernized the process using Lightning Web Components (LWC), Google Maps API, and dynamic logic within Salesforce to build a more intuitive and scalable Deal Entry experience that improved data quality and operational efficiency.
- Overcomplicated Form Layout:The original Deal Entry form was cluttered and difficult to navigate, leading to slow and error-prone data entry.
- Duplicate Records and Inconsistent Legal Names:The absence of duplicate detection and inconsistencies between Account and Opportunity legal names caused compliance and data quality issues.
- Manual Address Entry Without Validation:Manually typed addresses frequently resulted in errors and required additional correction efforts.
- Complex Product Selection:A large number of unclear product categories made it difficult for users to select the right option.
- Simplified UI with Tab Navigation: Redesigned the form with logical flow and keyboard-friendly navigation, eliminating redundant fields.
- Duplicate Validation and Legal Name Standardization: Introduced real-time duplicate checks and synchronized legal names across records.
- Google Address Lookup Integration: Integrated address autocomplete and validation to improve accuracy and speed.
- Streamlined Pricebook and Auto-Generated Opportunity Names:Simplified product categories and enabled auto-generated naming based on equipment details.
- Custom Searchable Lookups and Dynamic Fields: Developed custom components for vendor/referral searches and dynamic fields based on vehicle status.
