How Ksolves Developed a Salesforce Mobile App for Seamless Agri-Data Management
Our client operates within the agriculture industry, dealing with field services and customer interactions. Their business model involves frequent visits to various locations, including fields where face-to-face interactions are essential. During these interactions, field agents engage with farmers, gather insights, take orders, and address concerns. However, the unreliable internet connectivity in these rural and remote areas presented a significant challenge. Accessing and managing vital customer data in real-time was nearly impossible. Therefore, the client needed a mobile application enabling their field service agents to access Salesforce data, manage support requests, and work offline.
The challenges faced by the client include:
- Offline Data Storage: The client's field service agents needed access to critical data, even offline, as they often worked in remote areas with limited internet connectivity.
- Salesforce Integration with React Native: The client wanted to use React Native to build the mobile application but faced difficulties integrating it with their existing Salesforce org.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: The client required the mobile application to run smoothly on Android and iOS devices to ensure maximum user reach and accessibility.
To address the challenges faced by the client, our team implemented a comprehensive solution using Salesforce SDK, REST API, React Native, and Android Studio. The key steps taken were as follows:
- Mobile Application Development: We built a mobile application using Salesforce SDK and utilized Android Studio to run the application on an emulated Android device.
- Salesforce Org Integration: Using a connected app, we established a connection between the mobile application and the client's Salesforce org. This integration enabled seamless communication between the mobile app and the Salesforce backend.
- Offline data sync with Salesforce org: To facilitate offline data storage, we implemented Salesforce Soup. This feature enabled users to store data locally on their mobile devices without an internet connection. The locally stored data will automatically sync with Salesforce.org when the user regains internet access.
The Salesforce Mobile App Development project effectively solved the client’s challenges in managing field service works and support requests. By leveraging Salesforce SDK, REST API, React Native, and Android Studio, we created a mobile application that improved data accessibility, offline functionality, and support request management. The successful implementation of the mobile app resulted in increased productivity and enhanced Salesforce accessibility for the client’s workforce.
