Integration between Salesforce and Dynamics NAV

Get an overview of how integration between Salesforce and Dynamics NAV streamlines data exchange and strengthens collaboration between sales and finance departments.

At a time when digitalisation and automation are crucial to the competitiveness of companies, it is essential to ensure that business-critical systems work seamlessly together. At VisionPeople, we specialize in creating integrations between Microsoft Dynamics NAV and other systems — including the market-leading CRM solution, Salesforce. This article delves into how the integration between Salesforce and Dynamics NAV can optimize workflows, create visibility, and ensure that sales and finance departments work on a common data base. Why integrate Salesforce and Dynamics NAV? When sales and marketing teams work in Salesforce with leads and sales leads, it is crucial that this data can be exchanged with the Dynamics NAV financial system. A tight integration means that the customers you work with in Salesforce are also those billed from NAV. This ensures that all relevant departments have access to up-to-date and consistent customer information.With the integration, revenue and other financial ratios from NAV can be automatically transferred to Salesforce. It gives the salespeople a complete overview of the customer's financial history directly in the CRM system, which strengthens the sales work and enables more targeted customer dialogue.

This is how the integration works

VisionPeople has developed a seamless system integration between Salesforce and Dynamics NAV, based on web service calls from NAV. This solution makes it possible to automate a number of key processes:

  • Automatic creation of leads and orders: When new leads or orders are created in Salesforce, they can be automatically created in Dynamics NAV. This means that customers are quickly and efficiently prepared for invoicing in the financial system.
  • Synchronization of financial ratios: Revenue figures and other relevant data from NAV can be exchanged with Salesforce so that the sales department always has access to up-to-date information about the customer's purchase history and financial status.
  • Common data bases: Integration ensures that both the sales and finance departments work from the same data, minimizing the risk of errors and duplication.

Benefits of integration

A well-functioning integration between Salesforce and Dynamics NAV creates a number of benefits for the company:

  • Streamlining work processes: Automating data exchange reduces manual input and frees up time for value-adding tasks.
  • Better overview: Sales people access financial ratios directly in Salesforce, strengthening the decision-making base and enabling more qualified customer service.
  • Faster billing: New orders from Salesforce can be quickly created in NAV, so invoicing can be initiated without delay.
  • Data Quality: Consistent and up-to-date data across systems minimizes errors and ensures that all departments work with the same information.

Technical foundation

The technical foundation of the integration is web service calls from Dynamics NAV. This approach ensures a robust and flexible integration that can be adapted to the specific needs of the company and the existing system landscape. The solution has been developed with a focus on stability, security and scalability to support both small and large businesses.
