BUILDING A SCALABLE, AUTOMATED TECH STACK WITH SALESFORCE AND AWS

Introduction

Scaling a business today is as much about technology as it is about sales and service. Real estate firms and SMBs often struggle with fragmented tools and disconnected workflows that don’t scale well.

Building a scalable, automated tech stack using Salesforce and AWS helps you centralize data, automate processes, and support growth—without requiring an army of IT staff.

Common Scaling Challenges

• Tools don’t integrate well → duplicated work

• Reporting is manual and inconsistent

• Onboarding new users takes too long

• Automation is limited or non-existent

• Infrastructure is expensive and hard to manage

As you grow, these bottlenecks cost time, revenue, and market competitiveness.

Why Salesforce + AWS Makes a Strong Foundation

1. Seamless Integration Ecosystem

Salesforce offers robust API support, and AWS provides scalable infrastructure. Together, they enable easy integration with:

• ERP systems

• Payment gateways

• Property portals

• Communication tools (WhatsApp, Email, SMS)

• Accounting software

2. Process Automation

With Salesforce Process Builder and AWS Lambda, you can automate:

• Lead capture to CRM entry

• Follow-up reminders

• Document generation

• Status updates to customers

• Multi-channel marketing campaigns

📌 Example: A real estate agency automated its post-booking communication with AWS Lambda + Salesforce Flow, reducing manual email work by 90%.

3. Scalable Infrastructure

AWS enables pay-as-you-go scalability. You can start small and scale your compute, storage, and network as demand grows—perfect for seasonal real estate cycles or growing SMBs.

4. Advanced Analytics

Pair Salesforce data with AWS analytics tools (Redshift, QuickSight) for deeper insights into customer behavior, market trends, and business performance.
