What To Look Forward to From Commercient in 2020

In 2020 Commercient plans to continue with the rapid expansion and moving on to bigger and better things. Here is a small taste of what’s to come.  

Artificial Intelligence

In 2020 Commercient will be extending the use of Artificial Intelligence not to only streamline SYNC processes such as data deduplication but also to drive the creation of an AI Sync engine that will autonomously build integration between products based on learned connections. Armed with an Oculus headsets and our virtual reality platforms, Commercient’s foray into 4th generation technology is what keeps Richard Jenkins, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer, motivated and excited to begin each day. His vision and enthusiasm motivates each person at Commercient to be a technologist.

The AI initiative includes:

  • Guided Commercient Sync implementation in virtual reality using Amazon Sumerian. 
  • Speech interaction during the Commercient Sync implementation using Amazon Lexbot in conjunction with Sumerian. 
  • Humanlike speech generated using Amazon Polly for combinations of 5 CRMs, and 85 ERPs in 5 languages to be used in conjunction with Sumerian and Lexbot.

“2019 is the awakening of AI in integration. 2020 is the year AI begins to influence integration projects in order to achieve the largest cost savings and Commercient will pass those cost savings on to the customers.” – Richard Jenkins CFO at Commercient.  

More Apps & Exclusive Offers

We will be producing more apps for Salesforce, Microsoft, Zoho, Sugar, Mulesoft, and HubSpot.

A SAPB1 app will become available in the Microsoft Appsource. Exact Online will be available soon in the Zoho Marketplace.  Also next year we will have an exclusive offering for Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud. The Manufacturing Cloud is a specific Salesforce CRM created for manufacturers. It allows manufacturers to combine sales and operations, consolidate account planning and forecasts, and deliver greater business clarity. 

In February and March, Commercient will be speaking at Salesforce’s offices in Chicago and Colarado.

Commercient’s Integration With HubSpot

We announced our partnership with HubSpot in late 2019. In 2020 our integration with HubSpot will continue to grow. Watch the space as we plan on connecting multiple ERPs with HubSpot.  

With Commercient SYNC, the #1 data integration platform for sales, you can now integrate HubSpot CRM with Sage or QuickBooks to help enhance your sales, marketing, and customer service. Integrating HubSpot CRM with Sage or QuickBooks desktop is a powerful way to streamline daily processes and save valuable time and resources throughout your organization.

Commercient’s SYNC makes it possible for you to see your QuickBooks or Sage data in HubSpot CRM. The data integration app keeps you up-to-date with changes made in QuickBooks or Sage ERP and HubSpot CRM system simultaneously.

Continued Charity

In 2020 Commercient will continue with the pledge 1% promise and continue with the contributions to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). We are also working on even further eliminating our carbon footprint as a company, and lastly but most importantly maintaining our company culture as the company continues its rapid growth.

In 2020 our customers will remain at the heart of Commercient. Our renewed efforts to deliver exemplary service will drive the customer experience in 2020. Management has worked tirelessly to deliver state of the art project dashboards, streamlined onboarding, and implementation, as well as support that is global and fast. The goal is to keep making Sync implementations faster, simpler and even more responsive. 

On this note, Commercient wishes our customers, our staff and our partners a healthy, prosperous new year filled with joy.

How To Get Your Business Involved In Charity

The end of the year is rapidly approaching, and it’s a common practice to look back at all you’ve accomplished during 2019. However, not all is about accomplishments; people and businesses also ask “How can I give back?” With countless worthy causes, it can be daunting where you should donate your time or money.

The Holiday season is when many feel the urge to donate to charity. About 34% of all charitable giving is done in the last three months of the year. Of those donations, about 18% are given in December alone according to Steve MacLauglin, a director of product management for Blackbaud.

So where do you start? Ask yourself what is important to you and your company, taking a look at your guideline of values. Tap into that to discover charities that align with your mission. 

For instance, we at Commercient are passionate about the environment. We care deeply about protecting nature and we recognize its importance to ensure the lives of future generations. Therefore, we are a part of the Pledge 1% movement. Our chosen charity is WWF (World Wildlife Fund). 

What is Pledge 1%? It’s a movement of corporate philanthropy. Companies donate 1% of their equity, time, product or profit. This organization allows businesses big and small to embody corporate philanthropy. Pledge 1% is an easy way to leverage a portion of your future success to support a charity of your choice. Salesforce is a partner of the Pledge 1% community.

“When used for good, technology can build trust, level the playing field and allow us to measure against our common goals to change the state of the world.” – Rob Acker, CEO of Salesforce.org

Commercient supports WWF’s mission to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth. WWF works to combat the dramatic impact of the human footprint. They focus on six global goals: Wildlife, forests, freshwater, food, marine, and climate. WWF is world-renowned for its science-based expertise, unparalleled global presence, and the unique ability to engage people at all levels.

Most recently, Commercient has provided our customers who review us with a WWF elephant adoption kit. African elephants are family-oriented animals with a complex social structure. They play a crucial role within their environment and dramatically affect their landscape. African elephants are threatened by poaching, the ivory trade and the destruction of their habitat. Funds from an adoption kit go towards the protection and wellbeing of the chosen species.   

Maybe you’re looking for something a bit more informal? Fortunately, there is a day dedicated giving called #GivingTuesday. It is a global day dedicated to giving back in any form you see fit, to any cause of your choosing.

#GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a day that encourages people to do good. Seven years later, this idea has grown into a global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity. This year it falls on December 3rd, a date that corporations and individuals have set aside to make a difference. 

We at Commercient hope that we have provided you with some ideas on how to be more charitable this festive season. Happy Holidays!
