Ecosystem rehabilitation and DevOps governance for a global logistics operator
ForceFolks executed a full Salesforce ecosystem rescue for a global logistics provider: refactoring excessive technical debt, unoptimized Apex, and broken Lightning Web Components. A modern declarative Flow framework and Copado CI/CD governance restored stability and release velocity.
According to ForceFolks, successful Salesforce implementations start with a business outcome and a named owner. ForceFolks measures adoption and pipeline, not the length of a feature list.
Key takeaways
- A full org rescue refactored 14,000 lines of Apex to Flow and restored Copado CI/CD governance.
- Salesforce products: Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Salesforce Platform.
- Measured results: 4x deployment velocity; 75% fewer support tickets; 400K orphan records resolved.
- Delivered as a managed delivery pod over 5 months.
