Top 7 Factors That Differentiate XfilesPro From Other File Management Solutions for Salesforce

Being the #1 CRM provider in the world, Salesforce powers organizations to boost their sales, marketing & customer service processes. However, it can’t be considered as an advanced document management system because the platform doesn’t include this in its core capabilities. The presence of multiple IT systems and, the trend of adopting different cloud platforms for running a business while using Salesforce as the centralized CRM means, files will be generated from different sources & ultimately get stored within the Salesforce app. Now with the limited file storage space that Salesforce offers, it becomes extremely challenging to maintain all the documents in one place with easy access, collaboration, and sharing. This is why the need for a powerful document management system becomes essential to drive higher business efficiency & harbor customer success. And XfilesPro masters the art of document management in Salesforce. What is XfilesPro? XfilesPro is an enterprise-grade file management application for Salesforce.

Another benefit of this feature is that non-Salesforce users can upload files to the external system, and Salesforce users can view it within their app. Folder Structure & Syncing The beauty of XfilesPro is that it offers not one, but two folder design options. Users can keep migrated Salesforce files within specific folders in their external system. Folder structure either can follow a template offered by XfilesPro, or customers can build custom folders.

Why Top Transportation & Logistics Service Providers Trust XfilesPro for Efficient File Management in Salesforce
For decades, the transportation & logistics industry has grappled with issues like outdated infrastructure, siloed & inaccurate data, disconnected customer experiences, and dissatisfied customers. To add fuel to the fire, the current COVID-19 health crisis has increased customer expectations & changed the regulations, thereby forcing the industry to evolve. Because of this, digitization & globalization have become imperative for the smooth functioning of the industry. Salesforce CRM for Transportation & Logistics Industry To be able to compete & thrive in this new environment, companies in the transportation & logistics industry need to keep up with the noteworthy transformations in the technology sector. One such technological advancement that the logistics industry experts greatly emphasize is the use of Salesforce CRM. Salesforce gives enterprises from the T&L industry the ability to track their customer’s experience from the initial quote to the delivery fulfillment. By connecting all the business processes, like sales, service, marketing, & customer experience, in a single platform, Salesforce helps such enterprises perform all logistics-related operations seamlessly. Building out business processes in Salesforce allows logistics companies to communicate with their customers better, improve the digital infrastructure, and track loads more effectively. Here are some of the top benefits of using Salesforce for the transportation & logistics segment: Automation of Complex Business Processes Improved Sales & Marketing Operations Easier & Seamless Team Collaboration Insightful Reporting Elevated Customer Services & Improved Customer Satisfaction In addition to using Salesforce, most third-party logistics companies also leverage different AppExchange applications to better manage their end-to-end business processes. These include popular cloud computing solutions such as Revenova, Lanetix, Resilinc, CloudSense, NeuroRed, & many more. These applications built exclusively on the Salesforce platform, help deliver unprecedented business results, grow revenues and profits, & improve operational efficiency. Check out: CL Services, a top US-based 3PL service provider optimized their Salesforce file storage with XfilesPro Major Roadblocks to Superior Business Efficiency With the introduction of technological advancements, like Salesforce, and the prevalent use of 3rd-party custom applications, built on the Force.com platform, it would seem like enterprises in the T&L industry have everything they need. But that’s not the case. Even when using Salesforce, there are several challenges that these enterprises encounter daily. The 3rd-party logistics service providers usually have numerous business verticals such as supply chain, tracking & tracing shipments, warehousing, partner management, document management, customer support, & many more. To perform all these functions, they often deal with plenty of processes, people, products, & documents. But managing such a massive volume of files & documents within Salesforce is a great hassle in itself. Different Salesforce documents and files such as invoices, packing lists, export licenses, purchase orders, bill of lading, airway bill, delivery order, letter of credit dock, warehouse receipts, insurance papers, load order, & certificate of origin have to be dealt with daily. This can become a huge challenge if the enterprise doesn’t have a proper file management strategy in place. Coincidentally, the more users, partners, customers, vendors, & other different systems the 3PL company has, the more documents it generates in Salesforce. And the more documents it generates, the more it needs to focus on managing those documents efficiently. Therefore, it is always a problem of plenty that makes the need for a file management strategy even starker. In other words, though Salesforce & the 3rd-party custom applications have been exceptional in helping 3PL companies manage their operations better, managing the large number of files has never been easy due to the limited nature of the allocated file storage. And when dealing with so many documents, enterprises are bound to eventually run out of the allocated storage. XfilesPro: The Comprehensive File Management Strategy for T&L Companies When looking to overcome the limitations of the file storage in Salesforce, a lot of 3PL companies initially think of purchasing additional storage space from Salesforce because it seems like an easier approach. But once they realize that it’s a pretty hefty & recurrent expense, they quickly look for other solutions to their problems which is when they truly realize the importance of adopting comprehensive file management strategies in their Salesforce Org. XfilesPro is one such comprehensive file management & external collaboration strategy that is trusted by various transportation & logistics service providers across the world. The solution, designed especially for Salesforce, works well with solutions like Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, & other custom Salesforce solutions. Using the app, companies can seamlessly migrate their important files to different external systems including cloud storages like SharePoint, AWS S3, Google Drive, OneDrive, & Dropbox, and on-premise systems like SFTP, SMB, & Network Drive. Gain more insight into the application by downloading this product datasheet. By using XfilesPro, users can not only optimally manage their Salesforce files & optimize the native file storage but can also cut back on their file storage costs significantly & enhance the business growth, without compromising on their user experience. Now let’s discuss how XfilesPro’s unmatched capabilities can be of tremendous help to companies from the transportation & logistics vertical in meeting their file management goals in Salesforce. Large Volume Initial File Offloading Sometimes 3PL companies have a large volume of already-existing Salesforce files (closed shipment details, old freight records, old customer documents, closed customer support tickets, etc) within their Org that though are not in active use but do take up storage space, leading to different challenges. XfilesPro has an amazing ‘initial file offloading’ feature, utilizing which such files can be easily migrated to the external storage automatically, without any manual intervention. Centralized Content Management Experience Since 3PL companies deal with a multitude of files & documents, it’s very common for these files to be scattered across multiple systems like Salesforce, cloud storage, on-premise storage, community portal, etc. XfilesPro intelligently links all such files and documents to specific Salesforce records in the Org, allowing them to be managed from a single location in the external storage. This lets the T&L companies enjoy a seamless & centralized content management experience. Also read: Why is
