About the client
Our client is a global Christian ministry that prioritizes leadership development, community building, and personal and spiritual growth through discipleship and evangelism.
Client challenges
Our client faces backorder issues caused by high demand exceeding available stock, leading to customer dissatisfaction due to delayed deliveries. This resulted in reputational damage and business loss. They required assistance in optimizing their operational efficiency to mitigate these impacts.
LevelShift used custom-built Apex classes in the client’s Salesforce system to separate available and unavailable products into different orders. We integrated the external system with their inventory system to streamline the shipping process and reduce shipping costs. This reduced manual tracking efforts and ensured a smooth experience for the end users.
