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
