Connected CRM Ecosystem

Automotive Cloud + Customer 360 enabling real-time sales and service, from VIN lookup to diagnostics.

Commitment to Excellence

Frequent model launches, seasonal promotions, and digital showroom rollouts demand rapid, zero defect releases

Strategic Partnership

Engaged Zyrix to automate mission critical flows at scale, accelerate time to market, and support volume dealer adoption

The Challenge

Navigating Complex Salesforce Testing

As connected vehicles and mobile-first experiences redefined auto sales, the client’s manual testing slowed releases, especially for EV launches and dealer app rollouts.

Manual Testing Bottlenecks

Regression testing cycles spanned 4–6 weeks, blocking seasonal offers and ramps
Heavy reliance on specialized QA delays release agility

Complex Integration & Customization

Salesforce integrated with ERP, DMS, supply chain, and in car data systems
Custom flows for real time inventory, dealer incentives, finance approval, and over the air updates

QA Consistency Gaps

Only ~45% of critical automotive workflows (e.g. quote to order, connected car scheduler, service escalation) covered
Scripts broke frequently with Salesforce quarterly updates

Resource & Cost Constraints

Manual testing costs high, especially during EV model rollouts
QA team bandwidth insufficient for parallel launch preparation
