Inmar Intelligence selects Prodly to accelerate Salesforce release cycles

PALO ALTO, Calf., Jan. 12, 2021 — Prodly, the next-gen DevOps platform for Salesforce, today announced that Inmar Intelligence has implemented Prodly DevOps* to automate Salesforce release management. This will allow the company to save time on manual, repetitive tasks.

Inmar Intelligence needed a smarter way to manage releases

Inmar Intelligence is a data-driven technology-enabled service company. For forty years, it has served as a trusted intermediary for retailers, manufacturers, healthcare providers, and government agencies. Inmar Intelligence provides innovative solutions for coupon redemption, prescription management, and product returns.

When COVID-19 hit, Inmar Intelligence’s Salesforce team had to rapidly figure out how to transition its sales and service teams to remote work. It also had to mitigate impact to the business as retailers froze promotions. To keep up with the volume of change requests, the Salesforce team worked around the clock for weeks. This experience solidified the need for a smarter way to manage releases.

“Prodly will completely change the way we manage Salesforce release cycles. We’ll be able to get new features into the hands of our users faster and more reliably than ever—without having to sacrifice our nights and weekends,” says Karen Byrum, System Architect at Inmar Intelligence.

Agile development for low-code applications

It’s important to understand that the Prodly DevOps platform makes agile development a reality for low-code applications. To this end, it provides an intuitive, point-and-click interface. This lets users easily migrate configurations and data between Salesforce orgs to configure, test, and release updates faster. With robust features for data deployment, version control, and regression testing, Prodly DevOps helps administrators and developers continuously deliver app innovation.

“Since Prodly DevOps is declarative, we were able to implement it and see results very quickly. Prodly also maintains automation templates for Salesforce CPQ, Conga Composer, and other apps. This made our time to value even faster,” explains Kelly Kuykendall, CRM Systems Administrator at Inmar Intelligence.

Shortly after the implementation of Prodly DevOps, Inmar Intelligence is already seeing results:

  • Reduced time to migrate data between Salesforce orgs from hours to five minutes
  • Shortened project turnaround time
  • Improved quality of life for Salesforce team

Inmar Intelligence can make more effective use of sandboxes

In addition to shortening project turnaround time, Prodly DevOps will enable Inmar Intelligence to reclaim sandboxes that weren’t being used effectively. Prodly’s automated data deployments will enable Inmar Intelligence to move initial project work to individual Developer sandboxes. As a result, Full and Partial Copy sandboxes can be refreshed regularly for more accurate testing. The company also plans to use Prodly DevOps for several upcoming data schema projects. These include an org merge to incorporate a recent acquisition and transforming a custom case management object to standard Salesforce functionality.
