Ascent Pre-Built Integration to Google Sheets via Workato Recipes
We’ve written many times about the benefits of ditching spreadsheets and moving to a completely cloud based ERP + CRM system. Implementing Google Sheets instead of offline XLS is a step in the right direction for companies that rely heavily on spreadsheets. This enables the beginning of cloud autonomy as you move more of your inventory and order management away from manual processes that can be error prone. One way to get a jump start on this process is to use the popular Google Sheets functionality to seamlessly integrate Salesforce and Ascent Solutions via Workato Recipes.
Some additional good news, Ascent pre-built integrations with Google Sheets work with various Ascent products, including Ascent ERP, Ascent Inventory Management (IM), Ascent Order Management (OM), and Ascent Financial Planner (AFP). This enables Salesforce customers on Ascent to build more automation into their ERP business processes. This integration with Salesforce also works for other native Salesforce applications like Kulturra for payment processing. In fact, Google Sheets can create any Ascent record/transaction on the Salesforce platform and it works Immediately, with no delay!
