HappyOrNot Runs Its Business on Salesforce
Since 2014, HappyOrNot has been an avid Salesforce customer. HappyOrNot’s entire business process from Lead to Cash is stored within Salesforce. Therefore, it is an extremely crucial system for the whole company’s daily operations. In addition to sales data, HappyOrNot also stores quotes, contracts, orders, deliveries, and invoices on Salesforce.
Most of HappyOrNot’s internal teams use Salesforce daily, including their sales, marketing, support, and finance teams. Aside from just the internal users, the company’s 100+ global partners are also using Salesforce and ordering functionality through the Salesforce Partner Community. HappyOrNot’s customers can also submit support cases and view knowledge articles through the Salesforce Community Cloud.
HappyOrNot’s Salesforce instance is connected to various other systems, including:
- NetSuite ERP - to carry out the cash matching and bookkeeping based on the invoices created within Salesforce.
- Pardot - to automate marketing and sales engagement to generate more leads, close more deals, and accurately measure marketing success.
- HappyOrNot Reporting Service - to sync survey configuration data gathered in Salesforce to provide customers with a seamless experience when using HappyOrNot’s services.
- Gainsight - to provide better visibility and tools for the customer success team to track and improve the customer experience.
HappyOrNot Required a More Comprehensive Salesforce Data Protection and GDPR Compliance Solution
HappyOrNot was backing up their Salesforce data with the Weekly Export. To back up metadata, they were extracting and storing code and configurations manually. Upon further examination, HappyOrNot realized it would be challenging to recover lost or corrupted data and relational data with the Weekly Export .CSV files. HappyOrNot needed to be able to recover lost or corrupted data as quickly as possible and continue providing services to its users. The need for a more scalable and comprehensive data backup and recovery strategy became clear.
With the GDPR enforcement date approaching, HappyOrNot needed a Salesforce data protection partner that could provide them with immutable backups for disaster recovery, data transparency, customizable data retention, and the ability to respond to Subject Access Requests. With a prominent EU customer base, HappyOrNot would have to be able to process Subject Access Requests within the 30-day window allowed under GDPR. It was very important for HappyOrNot to secure a data protection partner capable of helping them protect data and comply with GDPR across their Salesforce backups.
