Salesforce + ERP Integration (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics)

Why It Matters:
ERP and CRM must talk to each other. Without it, customer data is disconnected from financials, inventory, and service delivery—causing delays, order errors, and poor customer experience.

What We Offer:

Real-time sync of customer orders, invoices, and payments
Automated quote-to-cash process inside Salesforce
Bi-directional sync between Salesforce objects and ERP modules

Salesforce + Slack Integration

Why It Matters:
Slack is where collaboration happens. When combined with Salesforce, it becomes a real-time CRM assistant—pushing updates, alerts, and workflows to the right channels instantly.

What We Offer:

Auto-post Salesforce updates to Slack (e.g., new deal won, lead assigned)
Create Slack channels for opportunities or accounts
Approvals and task assignments directly inside Slack
Slack → Salesforce record creation with slash commands

Benefits:

40% faster deal collaboration
Reduced response times on approvals
Increased visibility across sales and ops teams
Happier teams using fewer tools to get more done

Salesforce + GitHub Integration (for Dev Teams)

Why It Matters:
When development and customer-facing teams work in parallel, integration between GitHub and Salesforce keeps client requirements, bugs, and features aligned.

What We Offer:

Auto-create GitHub issues from Salesforce cases or tasks
Link pull requests to Salesforce features or bugs
CI/CD pipeline triggers based on Salesforce changes
GitHub deployment status within Salesforce change logs

Benefits :

35% fewer missed feature requests
Faster feedback loops between product and support
Transparency for client teams watching release progress

FAQs

How do you integrate Salesforce with legacy systems?

Integrating Salesforce with legacy systems like mainframes or old on-prem databases involves a combination of middleware, APIs, and secure protocols. At Lakebridge, we use tools like MuleSoft, Jitterbit, and REST/SOAP APIs to establish real-time or batch integrations. When APIs aren't available, we implement ETL processes or create custom connectors. Our approach begins with understanding your system’s architecture, data formats (like XML, CSV), and security requirements. We map Salesforce objects (like Accounts, Opportunities) to your legacy database fields and build middleware logic to handle authentication, transformation, and data flow. For large enterprises, we often use a service bus model to manage complexity and scale. The result is a seamless, bi-directional integration where legacy data powers Salesforce reports and Salesforce activity feeds back into your existing system.

Is data safe on Salesforce?

Yes. Salesforce follows some of the most rigorous data security protocols in the cloud industry. It is SOC 1, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and HIPAA compliant, with multi-factor authentication (MFA), data encryption (at rest and in transit), role-based access control, and audit trails. For enterprise clients, Salesforce Shield adds an extra layer of event monitoring and field-level encryption. Lakebridge ensures that all integrations use secure APIs with OAuth2 and IP whitelisting. We also offer a security audit during onboarding to verify data handling compliance. Your data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.2+ and stored redundantly across secure Salesforce data centers. If you operate in finance or healthcare, our experts configure Salesforce to meet PCI DSS or HIPAA standards, giving your security and compliance teams peace of mind.

What is the best method to sync Salesforce with an on-premise database?

We typically use middleware like MuleSoft or Talend for syncing Salesforce with on-premise databases such as Oracle or SQL Server. This allows for scheduled or event-driven syncs, ensuring real-time visibility with failover control.

Can I integrate Salesforce with a mainframe system?

Yes. Even without modern APIs, we can integrate Salesforce with mainframes using flat files, COBOL data extractions, or custom connectors built via MuleSoft. Batch processing is used with transformation layers.

How do Salesforce APIs work for integrations?

Salesforce supports REST and SOAP APIs. REST is commonly used for lightweight, mobile-friendly integrations, while SOAP offers more robust enterprise operations. Bulk API 2.0 is ideal for large data syncs.

What tools do you use for Salesforce integration projects?

We use MuleSoft, Jitterbit, Boomi, Talend, and Zapier for varying levels of integration—from enterprise to quick connections. Custom Apex classes are also used when no middleware is viable.

How do you maintain data consistency across integrated systems?

We build bi-directional sync rules, version control, and error-handling logic in middleware. Timestamp-based syncs, deduplication, and field-level validation ensure clean and consistent data.

Can Salesforce integrate with AWS or Azure cloud services?

Absolutely. We build direct integrations between Salesforce and AWS S3, RDS, Lambda, and Azure Logic Apps or Blob Storage for storage, analytics, or automation flows.

Is there a way to monitor API failures or data sync errors?

Yes. We implement automated error reporting via middleware dashboards and Salesforce Shield (Event Monitoring). Alerts are routed to Slack, email, or ITSM tools.

What are the common performance issues in integrations and how do you solve them?

Issues include API rate limits, long load times, and timeout errors. We optimize payloads, use bulk APIs, and enable smart retries with exponential backoff strategies.

How do you handle Salesforce integration with multiple environments (Dev, QA, Prod)?

We set up CI/CD pipelines with versioned metadata, GitHub repositories, and sandbox refresh strategies. Jenkins or GitHub Actions help us deploy across orgs safely.

Can I limit which data is shared during integrations?

Yes. We implement data filtering based on roles, field-level permissions, or integration-specific rules to ensure minimal necessary data is shared securely.

How do you manage version control in Salesforce integrations?

We use GitHub or Bitbucket to version-control integration code, metadata, and custom scripts. We also version API schemas to ensure backward compatibility.

What compliance regulations can you support during integration (HIPAA, PCI, etc.)?

We support HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and GDPR compliance with Salesforce Shield, encrypted data flows, audit trails, and endpoint security.

How long does a typical Salesforce integration project take?

It depends on the complexity. Simple integrations take 2–4 weeks. Complex ERP or banking system integrations may take 6–12 weeks including UAT and go-live.
