Vlocity Launches Communications Cloud Fall '15 Release With Embedded Processes Built Specifically for Communications and Media Companies

New Guided Selling, Service and Analytics Functionality Enhances B2B and B2C Customer Experience, Enables Revenue Growth and Reduces Cost to Serve


SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 9, 2015) - Vlocity, Inc., the Industry Cloud company, today announced the Fall '15 release of Vlocity Communications, a comprehensive suite of omni-channel sales, marketing, service, Configure Price Quote (CPQ), and order management applications. Built 100 percent native and additive to the Salesforce1 platform, and designed specifically for communications service providers (CSPs), Vlocity Communications helps CSPs accelerate time to value, maximize business agility, improve net promoter scores, and reduce the overall total cost of ownership of their CRM deployments.

The Vlocity Communications Cloud Fall '15 release includes patent-pending industry business process technology that allows CSPs to orchestrate customer interactions -- such as capturing personalized orders, addressing billing inquiries, or trouble-shooting service issues -- through any channel and on any device. The release also delivers new CPQ functionality that simplifies the process of defining and launching new products, and configuring accurate quotes and orders for complex B2B services. Designed by Communications CRM industry veterans, Vlocity Communications includes flexible APIs and interface implementations that enable plug-and-play integration with CSPs' existing BSS and OSS systems.

"We are excited to immediately deploy the new guided selling and service capabilities of the Vlocity Communications Cloud Fall '15 Release," said Sky Italia Chief Technology Officer Umberto Angelucci. "By standardizing on Vlocity and Salesforce, we are leveraging best-in-class, communications industry cloud applications to engage our 4.7 million customers in entirely new ways to enhance the customer experience."

Vlocity Communications Fall '15 release includes new capabilities for B2B sales, service and ordering:

  • Multi-site B2B Asset-Based Ordering
  • Attribute-Based Pricing and Configuration
  • Intuitive, Natural Language Product Designer
  • Multiple Price Type Sales Forecasting
  • Pre-Built Industry Processes (e.g. Move, Suspend, Resume, Pay Bill)

And enhanced B2C sales, service, and ordering:

  • Guided Selling to Automate and Streamline Order Process Flows
  • Self-Service and Ordering for Customers and Partners
  • Enhanced Communications-specific CPQ
  • Premise-Based Lead Management
  • Pre-Built Industry Processes (e.g. Move, Suspend, Resume, Pay Bill)
  • Contact Center Click Stream Tracking and Performance Analytics

The Fall '15 package is now available on the Salesforce AppExchange.

"Communications companies have very specific needs for their CRM systems and platforms, whether it's B2B selling and CPQ, or B2C service, and these companies demand applications that are tailored to their specific needs," said Vlocity Communications VP and General Manager Dan Ford. "With Vlocity Communications, CSPs can upgrade their current on-premise CRM systems with mobile-friendly cloud applications to deliver a higher quality of service to customers."

"With our Fall '15 release, Vlocity delivers deep, industry-specific functionality on Salesforce1, the world's leading cloud platform," added Vlocity CEO and Founder David Schmaier.

They can have both, with Vlocity Communications used in conjunction with the Salesforce Customer Success Platform."
