automation to streamline
our business.
We have over 430
workflow rules.
Automate where you
can, when you can.
We need to move a lot of data.
How do you keep multiple systems
in sync when the schema can change?
We use APIs to limit integration access
for external partners we work with.
Our API is our ‘contract’ with other
development teams at Groupon.
They know what data
and data types should be returned.
How can management
keep track of the deals?
How do we make sure the
deals we put on our site
are good for our merchants
and our customers?
Each deal is approved by the
manager of the market.

“Everything about our deals lives in Salesforce. We use it to manage the entire business
process, from pre-sales to close.”
“Favorite Salesforce feature? Dashboards because they give us instant on-demand visibility—
from executives to managers to reps.”
“We love Salesforce for its ability to scale right alongside our company—and we’re growing
fast!”
“Groupon time is like dog years—lightning fast. So we need a system that moves with us.
That’s why we love Salesforce.”
“We’ve improved collaboration with Chatter.”
