3. Client Success: Quote Controller
Project Summary: Cloud Software developed a quote controller for one of the U.S.’
largest providers of rooftop solar service to homeowners. Agents originate quotes in
Salesforce, which uses Heroku to query data from the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory to estimate the performance potential of photovoltaic solar installations.
The Heroku engine matches the homeowner’s specifications to a database of
efficient products. The Heroku engine generates a highly customized, dynamically
generated price quote for Sunnova to present to the homeowner.
Efficiencies Created: Sunnova’s legacy quoting engine was at end of life. The
previous controller couldn’t handle international transactions. Heroku supports the
client’s global expansion plans.
Budget: $100,000 +
Schedule: 4 + months
4. Budget: $75,000 +
Schedule: 2 months
Project Summary: Cloud Software designed a Heroku search engine for one of the
U.S.’ largest electrical supply distribution networks. The system processes search
parameters over millions of electrical products, segmented by tens of millions of
attributes. Search queries are returned with results that include products, product
dependencies, bundled packages and related products. The search results are
displayed in a web page hosted on Salesforce. Heroku yields a 100x improvement
in performance over similar searches on Force.com with more functionality than is
feasible on Force.com.
Benefits: Heroku allows CED’s distributors to have a centralized database of
products and a unified pricing structure through all 600 facilities. Previously the
pricing process was cumbersome, less efficient and slower.
Client Success: Rapid Search
5. Budget: $60,000 +
Schedule: 45 days
Client Success: Demographic Filtering
Project Summary: Cloud Software created a Heroku data filtering engine
for a $16 billion healthcare services company. The Heroku app facilitates
sales representatives querying millions of sales contacts based on
demographics. Heroku creates a few hundred, most-likely-to-close,
targeted opportunities displayed in Salesforce.
Benefits: Force.com wasn’t capable of iterating through that volume of
data quickly enough. Heroku was the ideal solution and delivers the
search results 10x faster.
6. Budget: $100,000 +
Schedule: 4 months
Client Success: Provider Ranking
Project Summary: Cloud Software developed a complex algorithm on
Heroku for a durable medical equipment distributor. The Heroku process
automatically ranks delivery providers based on their previous records of
timely performance and client satisfaction. When health care plans order
medical equipment to be delivered to their policy holders, the Heroku
algorithm matches a delivery vendor to the assignment based on their
suitability to deliver the particular product. The portal that health care plans
and Integra agents access is a Force.com site.
ROI: The client saved $150,000 in integration costs versus their alternate
plan of using Microsoft Azure.
8. Budget: $50,000 +
Schedule: 2 months
Client Success: Opportunity Assignment
Project Summary: Cloud Software designed a Heroku algorithm to query
complex criteria then select and assign opportunities and accounts to
agents. The algorithm criteria analyzes complex territorial segmentation. It
matches the opportunities and accounts to the optimal agent.
Benefit: The native Force.com solution requires up to 36 hours to run.
Heroku is an easier to maintain solution that improves performance.
Heroku assigns the opportunities and accounts within 3 hours.
