Starbucks had an idea in late 2008 to launch a social campaign to drive a national pledge for service to coincide with President Obama’s inauguration in mid-January. The challenge was that it was just 3 weeks away and they had no idea how much traffic to expect to the site.
Appirio rose to the occasion, building a highly scalable interactive website using Salesforce’s Force.com platform in just 21 days . The site allowed millions of users to search 30K+ volunteer opportunities, sign up, and spread the word through an integrated Facebook application.
The site scaled seamlessly to support massive traffic when the brand’s CEO featured the app on Oprah and raised 1.3M hours of volunteer time from participants nationwide.

Consumer Relationships
An American multinational consumer goods was facing a company-wide product recall. To make matters tougher, the Brazilian government was threatening country-wide action if the company did not streamline its product recall process immediately.
In just 3 days, from initial phone call to a fully operational product recall site, Appirio developed a website solution using Salesforce Sites for consumers to request monetary reimbursement or product exchanges in return for defective products. In addition to basic functionality, the site included complex Portuguese language requirements and high security features, given the bank data involved.
Within just days, the site was up and processing 100s of recall reimbursements and product exchanges, saving the company from facing country-wide sanctions and fines.

The hair care division of the world’s largest cosmetics and beauty company relies on salons and store owners for business, but providing them incentives and rewards for their loyalty was challenging. The loyalty system they had in place made it difficult to launch new promotions quickly and required weeks of effort from valuable IT resources.
Appirio built a custom rewards program application using the Salesforce platform that calculates award balances, points awarded and redeemed across multiple brands, programs and membership tiers. The applications integrates with SAP for order placement and connects to 6 brand websites for use by 100,000+ salons and stylists.
Appirio did in 3 months, what it had taken 6 years to build out in the original system. And with the new system in place, the company is able to roll-out brand programs more frequently and properly reward loyal customers, to keep them coming back for more.

The world’s largest cosmetics and beauty company demands a brand and user experience that is consistent with their leading brand. Unfortunately, the way their sales reps communicated with salons and retail outlets, was falling flat. Each month, HQ distributed 2GB of content on 1,000s of CDs mailed to each individual rep that showcased the latest and greatest for the products they were pushing. It was costly, cumbersome and not in line with the forward-thinking brand.
Appirio developed a unique user experience using Salesforce Authenticated Sites, Calendaring and Content that displays recent announcements, featured content for easy access and sharing based on individual role. Additionally, reps use
Chatter to collaborate around how to best use content in the field.
Now, all product information, promotions, events and updates are easily accessible from one place and the social functionality allows reps to share tips and stories about their experiences in the field. The online portal also saves money and the environment.

The American-owned spirits and wine distributor was a siloed and somewhat traditional organization in that they had employees all over the world that didn’t have the means to collaborate. They did have a traditional SAP portal in place, but it wasn’t user-friendly and adoption was extremely low.
After hiring a new CEO who wanted to revitalize the company, global collaboration became a key initiative. Brown-Forman employed Appirio to roll-out an employee collaboration portal built on Salesforce with a graphic iPad-like user interface.
A combination of a social enterprise blueprint designed to identify use cases and ensure adoption, and the CEO’s passion for top-down
collaboration made the portal a huge hit, both in the US and abroad, allowing cross-company collaboration.

The US-based airline that offers low-fare, high-quality service between major metropolitan cities across the country was having trouble communicating with its employees. With the majority of employees in the air or working on the ground at airports, it was impossible for them to access the company’s legacy intranet system on a mobile device, leaving them feeling disconnected from the fun-loving brand.
Virgin turned to Appirio to create a social and mobile employee intranet. The mobile-optimized intranet has Salesforce Chatter and Content embedded into the portal, enabling cross-company collaboration for 2,700 users.
Now, pilots, flight attendants and ground crew can access the social intranet on-the-go to get the latest and greatest company announcements and news and communicate with other employees. As a result, the average site visit has gone from just 45 seconds to 6 minutes, with employees finding a way to stay connected on the road.

1-800-Flowers, a floral and gift retailer and distribution company based in the United States, was missing out on the opportunity for its employees to have deeper, more meaningful interactions and better collaboration. Their existing intranet and email system were dated, difficult to use and offered no ability for sharing documents, tracking revisions or collective scheduling.
Appirio Replaced Bloomnet, the prior system, with Google Apps, Google+ and Google Docs for 1,400 users nationwide. Smilelink, a new intranet portal was developed with Google Sites templates and served as the HR department‘s home page. Appirio also developed a community engagement and training plan to ensure adoption and maximize the impact of the new intranet.
Google provided a unified platform for both internal collaboration and external marketing, making it easier for employees to share and track interactions, while making it easy to maintain and update the intranet without IT support. 1-800-Flowers now has a social intranet that’s engaging, fresh and easy-to-maintain.

A multinational alcoholic beverages company and World's largest producer of spirits had limitied visibility into quality control after production was complete. They were shipping product all over the world, without full visibility into what was happening at the store level.
Appirio built a mobile quality survey app on the Salesforce platform that allows the company to send out e-mail requests to employees to sample product quality from store locations based on a GPS code. The app supports 5 languages and multiple mobile devices, providing visibility by brand, region, country, etc.
The app has helped to resolve local issues with product shipping and
handling with improved product quality to the consumer. The improved reporting capabilities, provided by the app in dashboard form, help the company assess product quality across numerous filter parameters and offer greater insight into customer needs and quality concerns.

The world’s largest cosmetics and beauty company manages thousands of combinations of beauty advisors, brands and store locations. Employee quotas and performance were tracked in spreadsheets, which was extremely labor intensive and inhibited timely analysis.
Appirio built a custom Salesforce application with complex sharing rules pertaining to Beauty Advisor Managers and Brand Managers to keep geographies and brands separate. The application included custom objects for Doors (individual store location, i.e. Macy's SF), Accounts (Macy’s), Beauty Advisors (Contacts) and Performance for reporting across the entire business.
By having all this data at their finger tips and being able to slice and dice it across accounts, brands, geographies, managers have been able to measure the performance of each Advisor against their weekly, monthly and quarterly goals. And in turn, they have been able to establish and refine training programs based on performance data to help improve sales or reallocate Beauty Advisors from one location or brand, to another where they can have more impact.

For a global high fashion and cosmetics brand, managing field sales, including orders and pipeline for retail stores, was nothing short of a “spreadsheet frenzy”. The 18 year-old homegrown system built with LotusNotes eForms involved lots of manual updates and disconnected data. With data stored in numerous disparate systems, tracking and reporting tended to be done in spreadsheets, offering no visibility across the organization and taking up a considerable amount of time from both field sales reps and management.
Appirio deployed a custom Salesforce CRM system that improved the field sales experience by providing a single point of reference for business processes and an access point for SAP data, including orders.
By reducing time spent on administrative tasks, the new system enables field sales personnel to spend more time in stores coaching team members, promoting products, and driving customer satisfaction.

The professional division of an American multinational consumer goods company serves a wide range of industries, including food service. With thousands of customers under its belt, the company was experiencing difficulty managing service requests from business partners and as a result, the company’s response time was suffering.
With the help of Appirio, the company revamped how they manage customer service requests, content and metrics by developing a custom-skinned portal with a dashboard gauge component displaying metrics on store cleanliness and compliance, based on inspection reports.
The securely available portal not only makes it easier for business partners to submit and track requests, it is also customized to their individual brand, making it a familiar and easy-to-use experience.

Getting Started on Your Path to the CloudIf you’re inspired by these examples and want to get started on your path to the cloud, we’ve identified three simple steps to get started.
Assess Current State Identify and Prototype Opportunities
Create Cloud Transformation Roadmap
Start by understanding your company’s strategic priorities
and how the current technology aligns with those priorities. The
objective is to identify where the biggest gaps are.
The next step is identifying the areas where cloud, mobile
and social technology could help achieve business goals more quickly and efficiently (take a look at our customer
use cases as a starting point). We suggest starting with a
long list that you can prioritize based on potential impact and risk. Consider crowdsourcing development of your cloud
prototypes or PoCs if you don’t have the expertise in-house.
The final step is prioritizing opportunities. Assess the risk
and reward associated with each opportunity and then
sequence projects based on your appetite for risk and
financial objectives. Turning the roadmap into reality requires a solid business case as well
as a change plan for your organization. Quick wins and
prototypes are keys to getting commitment to drive a broad
cloud transformation program.
