MetaLocator supports multiple features related to the SalesForce CRM. Many customers maintain their dealer locator data in SalesForce, and so a robust integration between your locator, Website and SalesForce is critical for data management, lead generation and even identity management.
Data Integration
MetaLocator has the ability to synchronize directly with SalesForce data. Synchronizing with SalesForce can create an up-to-date locator which can be easily deployed on to your website. Users can connect directly from MetaLocator to SalesForce and choose specific objects and fields to connect. Users can create filters to limit the number and type of records displayed in the locator. MetaLocator even allows users to write custom SOQL queries. MetaLocator can therefore pull only the desired data and contact information for dealers, without exporting private or unrelated information.
MetaLocator is programmed to conveniently help users automatically keep their data between SalesForce and MetaLocator in sync on an ongoing basis. This is accomplished by using a background import job. This keeps users from having to deal with the hassle of always updating new data from SalesForce manually.
Lead Integration
MetaLocator can also push leads that are captured in your locator directly into SalesForce. This ensures integration with any automations or workflows already built in SalesForce for lead routing, sales territories or lead ranking.
Single Sign On
MetaLocator can also use SalesForce as an SSO Identity Provider. Using SalesForce as the source of identity allows Enterprise customers to maintain access control through SalesForce instead of separate accounts in MetaLocator. Configuring SSO between MetaLocator and SalesForce is available for Enterprise Customers.
