What's inside

Four plays that made the PoC land

A tight deadline and an open spec forced a few decisions early. These four are the ones we reach for every time a PoC has to sell.

  1. 1

    Lock the demo narrative first

    Write out the story the demo has to tell before anyone writes Apex. Every technical decision falls out of the story.

  2. 2

    Dual-cloud by design

    Build for Automotive Cloud users, engineered so the same moving parts run against a plain Sales Cloud org. Same objects, same API hooks, same dashboards.

  3. 3

    Make the flow visible

    Stand up a small WordPress dealer site with a real form. Fill it live, watch the lead hit Salesforce, watch the opportunity land on the Nextlane side.

  4. 4

    Train the client team

    Hand over the Salesforce intricacies so the demo walks without us. The PoC becomes a sales asset the day we leave.
