Salesforce.com, the enterprise cloud computing company, today announced that OPENLANE, Inc., an industry leading online auction company for automotive dealers to buy and sell wholesale vehicles, is greatly improving its business success with the use of Force.com. OPENLANE leveraged the Force.com enterprise cloud computing platform to integrate different enterprise systems to easily share dealer information across internal groups, and also developed multiple custom applications to support its rapidly growing business. Building on Force.com enabled OPENLANE to complete its custom development faster than it would have required with on-premise development.
“As we built our company, we originally utilized on premise enterprise software and systems that weren’t ideally suited for our business,” said Andrew Iorgulescu, Vice President of Business and Dealer Development at OPENLANE. “As the company grew, we sought out the flexibility of a cloud computing solution and began to utilize Salesforce CRM to manage and enhance our relationships with dealers. After implementing functionality to manage dealer relationships, we began to add other processes in order to drive customer intimacy to higher levels. Designing and building custom applications on the Force.com platform had significant appeal when we realized it could be done more quickly and at significantly less cost than we expected. The results are greater levels of responsiveness and service for our rapidly growing dealer base.”
Today, OPENLANE has custom solutions for dealer sales, customer inquiries, vehicle arbitrations, collections, and more — all built using Force.com and created to meet the company’s specific business needs. Further, both Salesforce CRM (http://www.salesforce.com/) and the custom applications were fully integrated with the industry leading OPENLANE auction platforms, SAP financials and other legacy database systems.
“Salesforce CRM and Force.com have been integral in helping us to optimize our business, and we’ve even added some applications from the AppExchange and a Customer Portal to gain additional benefits,” commented Iorgulescu. “We now have a solution that integrates multiple customer touch points across several systems into one efficient platform. This solution allows our internal development teams to focus their efforts on enhancing OPENLANE’s unique auction platforms while delivering a better experience for our dealer customers.”
