Problem statement and key challenges

Though CSS had a well functioning Zoho CRM set up with well-managed and configured data and workflows, they faced challenges when the requirement to store the data from third parties, at one platform came up. Along with that, they faced hurdles when trying to make some complex configurations in Zoho CRM.

The integration of Zoho CRM with external third parties required expert-level support to achieve the desired results.

Evaluation of the problem

Post multiple discussions with CSS, we understood that they wanted to integrate external third parties to help manage the transactions and survey data on a single platform.

To handle the transactions in Zoho CRM, they required some pre-defined payment calculations to be configured in their account. Handling the complete end-to-end process from the lead capture to the successful transactions could help CSS manage the entire process in Zoho CRM

Managing the data in Zoho CRM will help CSS analyze the data from Zoho and utilize it to identify the risks.

Proposed Solution

CSS shared required APIs for the integration and detailed inputs for the configuration of the payment calculations.

The integrations required hitting the third-party APIs triggered from different modules in Zoho CRM.

The configuration of the payment calculations involved the customization of features like fields and modules and using functions to achieve the required outcome.

Implementation

After gathering the complete set of requirements, CSS signed off on the solution provided and the estimated efforts with timelines were shared with them. Post confirmation from CSS, we started with the task and tested end-to-end flow in the sandbox. Once confirmed by the customer, we publish the changes in the live environment.

FI Digital has been providing ongoing support to CSS in delivering the tasks within the delivery timelines. We provide the necessary training and documentation support along with the developments and configurations made.

Result

The solution provided by FI Digital has helped CSS manage their data efficiently and analyze the data to utilize it in the multiple sources.
