WeDid: Managing Reseller Accessibility Using Partner Community

Challenges

The resellers of the business organisation are currently using the following model to track the inventory and price of the products.

Business organisation <- sends/retrieves inventory spreadsheet -> Reseller 1
Business organisation <- sends/retrieves inventory spreadsheet -> Reseller 2
Business organisation <- sends/retrieves inventory spreadsheet -> Reseller 3

The above model requires:

• manual entries between the resellers and business owner
• constant update to the spreadsheet whenever a purchase order is made

Solution:

• Setup Salesforce Community
• Design data model to:
  • Extend SF components to resellers via Partner community
  • Allow the tracking of the purchase order for respective resellers
  • Automate stocking process when inventory is low
