Dealer or grower
Authenticates, explores products and initiates a transaction inside a branded B2B experience.
Helping Sound Agriculture replace manual ERP-dependent order handling with a branded dealer portal, self-service account access and Salesforce-powered order automation.
A commerce transformation designed for agriculture buyers who need speed, account context and dependable fulfilment.
Project overview
Sound Agriculture needed a scalable digital commerce platform that could simplify ordering for dealers and growers while reducing the internal workload created by manual ERP order processing. AFA Technologies supported the implementation of Salesforce B2B Commerce Cloud and Order Management System, creating a branded self-service environment for orders, invoices and account information.
The challenge
Legacy Salesforce pages, incomplete features and ERP-dependent order handling created friction for customers and additional workload for internal sales and operations teams.
Select a pressure point to see how the legacy process affected the buyer journey and internal operations.
Customer orders depended heavily on internal teams to enter, verify and progress transactions inside the ERP, slowing fulfilment and consuming operational capacity.
The solution
The solution combined a branded Salesforce B2B storefront with Order Management System workflows and a cleaner Salesforce foundation.
Authenticates, explores products and initiates a transaction inside a branded B2B experience.
Provides self-service ordering, responsive product discovery and account-aware commerce workflows.
Coordinates order processing and supports automated fulfilment workflows across connected systems.
Receives cleaner order data while teams focus on exceptions, larger deals and customer growth.
The buyer begins inside a branded portal designed around the account relationship rather than a generic consumer checkout.
Dealer portal
Customers gained direct visibility into current and historical orders, invoices and core account information without depending on an internal representative for every request.
Your orders, invoices and account activity in one place.
Current and past transactions with status visibility.
Account documentation available without manual follow-up.
Customers can retrieve invoices and order information directly, reducing repetitive requests to sales and operations teams.
Core customer details in a clear, authenticated view.
The portal keeps order and account context together, helping buyers act without switching channels or waiting for manual assistance.
Platform foundation
The engagement included reviewing and cleaning the Salesforce environment to address technical debt, legacy managed pages and incomplete features.
A stronger commerce layer began with a cleaner implementation foundation and clearer ownership of platform workflows.
Existing managed pages and partially completed features were assessed before new commerce workflows were built.
Technical debt was reduced to create a more dependable foundation for B2B Commerce and OMS implementation.
Commerce, account access and fulfilment flows were structured around a coherent digital operating model.
Our process
The implementation sequence balanced technical remediation with customer-experience delivery and operational workflow design.
Review Salesforce technical debt, legacy pages, incomplete features and ERP-dependent order workflows.
Define the B2B Commerce and OMS implementation path, account journeys and operational handoffs.
Deliver a branded, responsive dealer portal with ordering, invoices and account visibility.
Connect fulfilment workflows and shift routine activity from internal processing to customer self-service.
Key outcomes
The project improved access, reduced operational dependency and created a digital foundation that better supports growth.
The source case study reports qualitative business outcomes rather than numerical KPIs, so the impact is presented without invented metrics.
Dealers and growers gained a clearer, more responsive route to ordering and account activity.
Customers can access current and historical orders without relying on manual internal support.
Account documentation became directly available through the authenticated portal experience.
OMS workflows reduced dependence on manual ERP order processing and repetitive internal handling.
Technical debt and incomplete legacy features were addressed to improve platform stability.
Sales teams could spend more time on larger opportunities instead of routine account and order requests.
B2B commerce is not only about online ordering. It is about faster customer access, fewer manual operations and workflows that let sales teams focus on growth.AFA Technologies
