Salesforce today announced new solutions to help streamline and accelerate end-to-end order lifecycle management: MuleSoft\u2019s Anypoint Partner Manager with Intelligent Document Processing (IDP) and MuleSoft Accelerator for Salesforce Order Management. Together, these business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) integration solutions make it easier to connect essential data across third-party applications, Salesforce OMS, and partner ecosystems \u2013 all within MuleSoft. Enhanced with AI, these new solutions help IT teams unify data from multiple data and system sources to achieve end-to-end order visibility, improved efficiency, and customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why it matters: <\/strong>IT teams are inundated with requests<\/a> to integrate disparate systems and adopt different technologies. And IT teams in retail, consumer goods, manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare must manage the thousands of daily transactions between suppliers and buyers across the supply chain ecosystem. To add to the complexity, 75% of B2B digital sales<\/a> occur via standardized Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and specialized solutions are needed to handle these transactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Go deeper: <\/strong>Anypoint Partner Manager<\/a> with IDP<\/a> is a cloud-native B2B integration solution that accelerates partner onboarding and operational management of both API and EDI-based transactions through the commerce and supply chain lifecycle. It provides visibility tools to accurately monitor the health of partner transactions along with key business and operational insights like overall order frequency and volume, shipment statuses, and more. By utilizing IDP, developers can leverage AI to extract, read, and store unstructured data from documents such as invoice and purchase order PDFs, surfacing it in systems of record and order management systems like Salesforce OMS. IT and business teams can rapidly develop integrations and APIs, monitor and manage their performance, and secure them in compliance with partner requirements, all through a single pane of glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New capabilities of this offering include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
