Field Service made easy with Salesforce Mobile

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have used the Salesforce Mobile app for Field Service, where almost 5000 freelancers of ours use it to manage their schedules and submit their time cards after they finish their work producing the sports events. The app also houses their HR documentation and connects with our Workday platform. The time cards are integrated into our Payroll system for processing at the end of the week.

Pros

  • SSO
  • Mobile Publisher Feature.
  • Easy updates.
  • Geo location tracking.
  • Time keeping.

Cons

  • AI capabilities.
  • UI
  • User experience.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well-suited for use cases where you already use Salesforce as a CRM, as it works hand in hand. Also, it can connect to Slack and supports Mulesoft integrations, making it an all-in-one ecosystem. For use cases like ours, where field service reps need an app to add work notes or enter their absences, etc., the app works great.

Salesforce Mobile Mapping tool is a must for field sellers.

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At Paycor, I use Salesforce Mobile to bridge the gap between my field sales activities and the data I input weekly. It serves as my primary interface when I'm in the field, ensuring that "the office" is wherever we happen to be meeting a client. The integrated mapping feature also helps me manage the route I take to meet with prospects.

Pros

  • Clicking an address deep-links directly into Google Maps, eliminating the need to copy-paste data between apps while driving.
  • The app handles technical payroll jargon surprisingly well. I can dictate a meeting summary while walking back to my car, and it saves as a formatted note.
  • Log calls and emails immediately after they happen.

Cons

  • I do have to periodically log back into the mapping feature to get back to where I was, rather than just keeping it running.
  • The mapping feature his an issue with deleting stops.
  • Accessing reports from the mobile device aren't as mobile friendly as I would like.

Likelihood to Recommend

I use the mobile mapping feature weekly. It really helps me schedule my week so I can be as efficient as possible, saving me time and energy when I get back from prospecting, so I can focus on strong leads.

Salesforce Mobile - CRM On The Go

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The Salesforce Mobile app is being used in my organization for it sales cloud app which helps sales folks to work on lead, contacts, opportunities and accounts and update their record on the go from the mobile app. As we have implemented Einstein Activity Capture it helps to get important updates from the activities happening on the lead by other sales team members. For the Resource who work on consulting firms we make them fill their timesheet from the app which makes us easier for the PM's to approve their timecards and also it further helps the finance team in doing the billing and invoicing. I as a developer is the core responsible for setting up, updating, using, testing the mobile app.

Pros

  • For the Project Resource who work on consulting projects we make them fill their timecards and having it on the app is a plus point as they dont need their laptop.
  • The Sales cloud app which helps sales folks to work on lead, contacts, opportunities and accounts and update their record on the go from the mobile app
  • As we have implemented Einstein Activity Capture it helps to get important updates from the activities happening on the lead by other sales team members

Cons

  • More components support for mobile app, as a developer we cant use all the native feature as many are available for desktop only
  • After the SLDS 2.0 we can also get those UI updates for Salesforce App for modern design
  • Make the Offline CRM functionality more smooth as sometimes the app does not retain the details for the leads I am working on

Likelihood to Recommend

Salesforce Mobile is best for on the go CRM usage as this wont give you the whole Desktop functionality but it will help you in case of emergency or doing simple tasks which you might forget while meeting a lead in a in person meeting or if a resource is on holiday and he forgot to submit his timecards then he can do it otherwise it might hamper the business billings.

Pretty good software overall!

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Salesforce Mobile is pretty unique and such a convenient tool to use. It's great to be able to send a text to also communicate with the applicant instead of always calling. Such a valuable tool to use. It has been very useful to help contact older prospects or applicants in the system. I think it's a useful tool and I think more companies should also adapt to this as well.

Pros

  • Being able to customize your message
  • Faster response in real time
  • Saving message to use for a great follow up
  • Controlling your leads

Cons

  • It's very glitchy-- some of the canned messages won't work for no reason
  • Some links don't work all the time
  • It could be easier to navigate from one report to another

Likelihood to Recommend

Salesforce Mobile is very efficient and makes sense to use. Sometimes the reports, when you click in, doesn't open in a mobile view so you can see everything on one page. It helps when you need to search names, but it is not always user-friendly and would glitch. Saved messages are important, but as stated before sometimes the messages and links provided don't work.

Hopes of mobile access to Salesforce, crashed and burned

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it across the organization. It is used as a supplement to Salesforce Lightning.

Pros

  • Searching
  • Tasks
  • Call logging
  • Information gathering

Cons

  • It's pretty complex to use and not very straightforward as to where everything is and how to access.
  • Search function needs to be enhanced. Finding accounts in the desktop version is simple and accurate. With mobile, not so much.
  • It should be more customizable to enhance features frequently used.

Likelihood to Recommend

[In my experience,] it is only useful to search for addresses or contact information when out ot the office. I wish it had the functionality of desktop Salesforce.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Salesforce is used to track students and store their information for our Admissions Counselors. It makes it possible for the Admission counselor to keep up with different documents that students upload to apply.

Pros

  • Store student information
  • Keeps track of students

Cons

  • Report Editing
  • Links

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited the most for our company because when speaking with new students, we can log their information into the app. Being able to use it for the mobile app as well has been a gamechanger as well.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The reason we use Salesforce Mobile [(formerly Salesforce1 Mobile App)] is to be connected with the organization at all times, no matter where we are. From approving opportunity requests, to validate the information that is displayed in our client's profiles, the mobile app is really useful and it allows us to make changes without having the need of bringing the laptop with you. Being a sales manager I really take advantage of it because I am constantly visiting restaurants.

Pros

  • Clear and same information as of the desk platform
  • Fast and reliable
  • Easy to use

Cons

  • Interface
  • Design
  • Functionality

Likelihood to Recommend

Being out from the office, [Salesforce Mobile (formerly Salesforce1 Mobile App)] is a supporting tool to bring all the information with you without having the need of bringing the laptop. As I said before, I am a sales manager and it is much more comfortable for me to use the mobile app instead of bringing a bag or something similar only for the laptop.

However, it wouldn't make any sense to use it in the office as you can enter into Salesforce from your computer and have a better experience with the SF product as it is much more comfortable to use. At the end it has a much larger screen than a phone or a tablet and it has many more possibilities as a whole

All conversations and communication with overseas sales representatives and clients are logged and tracked using Salesforce Mobile. The ability to access our company's Salesforce from remote location challenge that Salesforce Mobile solves. In society today, the greatest approach to engage with clients is through Salesforce Mobile (formerly Salesforce1 Mobile App).

Pros

  • The ability to construct lead list for various marketing channels and have our staff prioritize calls. It's simple to use, just has to be set up once, and it's safe.
  • The most important aspect of this app is that all of its features are incredible, especially the reporting capabilities and the ability to quickly input customer information.
  • The app allows sales reps to focus on opportunities while on the field. The app has a feature that allows you to set up quick action for a variety of tasks.

Cons

  • It just take a minor bit of training.
  • Although the app is expensive, the functionality it provides solves this problem.
  • If you have a low or medium-speed internet, the platform likewise incredibly poor.

Likelihood to Recommend

We can be on the go and yet have access to information, contacts, and apps using Salesforce Mobile. We may then develop meaningful insight based on the data and push behaviors to additional clients by forecasting forward and tacking notes on prospects, clients, and so on. In addition, the mobile component makes it easy to update in real-time when on the road. For Business owners and team leaders, the salesforce mobile application is an extremely helpful tool.

Great for Marketing teams to keep up with the Sales Dashboards

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Salesforce Mobile is great to check dashboards on the go. From the Marketing perspective, I check reports and dashboards to see MQLs and SQL moving along. I also can quickly check if opportunities are correctly attributed to the lead source.

Pros

  • Dashboards
  • Reports
  • DocuSign Integration

Cons

  • Fingerprint Login
  • Search Filters

Likelihood to Recommend

It's great to check activity on the go. It's also great for team members who need to sign agreements with the electronic signature integration apps. I only use it to check things but not to actively work in the app. This is due to the high complexity of Salesforce. However, screenshots or links are shared easily with the team via Slack.
