Making Scaling Simplified with Salesforce

Hunter Douglas is a publicly held Dutch multinational corporation that manufactures window blinds and coverings. They came to us with several high-priority initiatives, and we provided detailed deliverables and recommendations to help with scale, user adoption, and the utilization of declarative capabilities.

At a Glance

After their initial work with Another Systems Integrator (SI) on the Experience Cloud implementation called “The Link”, Hunter Douglas reached out to Groundswell. Even though the SI implemented a lot of custom work, Hunter Douglas felt like they were still not getting enough strategic direction. Groundswell came in to understand Hunter Douglas’ users of The Link (also known as Dealers) and determine areas for immediate enhancement and goals for the future.

User-friendly Content Management

First, Groundswell provided recommendations on how to improve their existing content structure. We improved the content experience so Dealers can seamlessly find information relevant to them and access relevant content to deflect case creation.

Groundswell also reviewed the existing calendar capabilities available to Dealers and connected the Dealer’s calendars with their schedules on The Link. We enhanced search capabilities on The Link so Dealers can search for content across multiple platforms.

Uplifting Dealers with a Mobile Experience

Hunter Douglas needed to offer their partners better options for self-service and improve digital channels. In order to improve the support experience for Hunter Douglas Dealers, we increased the number of self-service capabilities that were available to them. With an on-the-go mobile experience of The Link, Dealers can now access important information while they’re in the field. They can also text their customers from within the Experience to confirm appointments, order information and send reminders.

All the necessary information needed in a single source.

Order and Opportunity Management

We improved the Dealer user experience in The Link (the partner community) to include a more intuitive UI so they can easily see the status of a given order, and the order line item with a quick visual scan. Groundswell also developed additional functionality for pushing status updates onto linked opportunities, plus timely notifications and alerts.
