The start of a new year is a powerful time to set your vision and take action. It’s the perfect moment to refine your strategies, streamline operations, and position your business for growth. At Soaritude, we believe that with the right tools and mindset, you can turn challenges into opportunities and transform the way your team engages with Salesforce.
As CXOs, CTOs, and Salesforce Admins, you understand the importance of aligning technology with your goals. But customization often feels complex, time-consuming, or out of reach especially if you’re balancing resources across multiple priorities. That’s where custom web components, like Lightning Web Components (LWCs), can empower your business.
We’ve seen how businesses leverage these tools to simplify workflows, enhance user adoption, and create tailored solutions that support long-term success. This year, it’s your turn to harness the power of customization to make Salesforce work harder for you. Let’s explore how to make that happen.
Custom web components are modular, reusable pieces of code that can extend and enhance Salesforce’s functionality. Lightning Web Components, Salesforce’s modern framework, offer faster performance and greater flexibility compared to older approaches.
Custom components help automate repetitive tasks, reducing errors and saving time.
When interfaces and workflows are tailored to user roles, teams are more likely to engage with the platform.
Custom components align Salesforce processes with your organization’s needs, eliminating unnecessary steps or complexity.
By integrating these components, you can turn Salesforce into a system that adapts to your business, not the other way around.
Customizing Salesforce can feel daunting, especially if your organization faces any of the following challenges:
Standard Salesforce features don’t always align perfectly with business workflows, leading to inefficiencies.
Customizing Salesforce traditionally required extensive coding skills, creating bottlenecks and delaying implementation.
If Salesforce feels clunky or irrelevant to your team, they’re less likely to use it effectively.
Custom web components provide a practical way to address these challenges without requiring major overhauls or significant technical expertise.
One of the most significant benefits of custom web components is their ability to streamline workflows. Here are some practical applications:
Replace manual, error-prone processes with smart forms that validate data in real-time.
Provide role-specific dashboards that display relevant metrics, helping teams focus on what matters most.
Build components that automatically notify users about critical updates, reducing communication delays.
For example, we’ve worked with organizations to implement dashboards that integrate data from multiple sources, giving leadership teams a clear picture of performance without the need for manual reporting.
In our experience, one of the biggest roadblocks to Salesforce's success is low user adoption. Teams often resist using tools that feel complicated or disconnected from their day-to-day work. Custom web components can solve this by:
Tailor interfaces to show only what’s relevant for each user’s role.
Ensure components are fully responsive, so employees can work seamlessly across devices.
Streamline workflows to eliminate unnecessary clicks or manual data entry.
By prioritizing usability, you can create a Salesforce experience that feels intuitive and valuable to every team member.
Automation is a powerful way to save time and reduce errors, but it’s important to approach it strategically. Custom web components can support automation by enabling processes like:
Automatically assign leads to the right sales representative based on predefined rules.
Route customer service inquiries to the appropriate team, improving response times.
Set up approval processes that notify stakeholders and track progress in real-time.
To get started, we recommend focusing on high-impact tasks, those that are repetitive, time-consuming, or prone to error. Begin with one or two workflows, test them thoroughly, and expand automation efforts as you see success.
For organizations looking to improve Salesforce functionality quickly, prebuilt web components can be a game-changer. These tools are designed to address common needs and can be deployed with minimal effort.
Examples include:
We’ve seen organizations benefit from prebuilt components by deploying them within days, delivering immediate improvements in productivity and user satisfaction.
While prebuilt components offer a great starting point, some needs require more customization. Custom web components allow you to build tools that align perfectly with your goals, such as:
The key is to start with a clear understanding of your objectives and design components that directly support them.
When customizing Salesforce, it’s critical to prioritize data security. Custom web components should always adhere to best practices, including:
These measures not only protect your organization but also build trust with your customers and partners.
Customization isn’t just about solving immediate challenges, it’s about preparing your Salesforce platform to adapt as your business grows. With custom web components, you can:
By investing in customization today, you’ll create a foundation for long-term success.
Enhancing Salesforce with custom web components doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Start by assessing your current platform and identifying areas for improvement. Focus on tasks that have the greatest impact, such as automating workflows, improving user adoption, or creating personalized experiences.
Remember, customization is a journey. Begin with prebuilt components to achieve quick wins, and explore tailored solutions as your needs grow. With the right approach, you can transform Salesforce into a tool that supports your goals for 2025 and beyond.
Take this opportunity to make Salesforce work for you, and empower your team to deliver exceptional results this year.
