Delivery Management System for Salesforce

Salesforce is where your customer relationships live. Accounts, contacts, orders, cases, and opportunities — the full picture of who your customers are and what they have bought. What Salesforce does not do is manage what happens when a delivery driver leaves a depot to complete those orders.

That gap matters more than it sounds. When delivery execution happens in a system that Salesforce cannot see, your customer-facing teams are working blind. A customer calls about a late delivery and the service agent checks Salesforce — the order is marked fulfilled. The delivery is still on a van, stuck in traffic, with a driver who has no way to send an ETA update. The agent tells the customer it should have arrived. The customer is not satisfied. This is a data gap, and it plays out dozens of times a day in organisations running Salesforce without a connected delivery execution layer.

SuiteFleet connects Salesforce to last-mile delivery execution. Orders from Salesforce trigger delivery tasks in SuiteFleet. Drivers execute those deliveries through a dedicated mobile app. Delivery status, proof of delivery, and tracking data write back to Salesforce automatically — against the order, the account, or the case — so the teams who manage the customer relationship always have a current, accurate view of what happened in the field.

Why Salesforce Field Service Is Not the Answer

Salesforce Field Service (formerly Field Service Lightning) is an excellent product for a specific problem: scheduling and dispatching field service technicians to customer sites for appointment-based work — HVAC, utilities, telecom, maintenance, and similar operations.

It is not designed for multi-stop delivery routing. FSL’s scheduling engine optimises technician assignment based on skills, availability, and territory. It does not optimise vehicle capacity, delivery sequence across 30 stops, time-window compliance, or the specific data model that delivery operations require: shipments, loads, proof of delivery by stop, and failed delivery handling across a driver’s route.

If your Salesforce environment includes FSL and you are trying to use it to manage parcel or goods deliveries, you are using a tool built for a different problem. SuiteFleet is purpose-built for delivery execution — and connects to Salesforce’s order and CRM layer regardless of whether FSL is in your environment or not.

What Changes When Salesforce and SuiteFleet Are Connected

The integration connects your Salesforce order and customer data to a full delivery execution stack, then closes the loop back to Salesforce on completion.

• Order-to-delivery task creation: Orders or custom records in Salesforce trigger delivery task creation in SuiteFleet automatically. Delivery address, customer contact, order reference, and internal notes map across. No manual re-entry, no exports.
• Multi-stop route optimisation: SuiteFleet sequences the day’s delivery tasks by geography, time windows, vehicle capacity, and driver availability. Routes generated algorithmically, not by hand.
• Driver mobile app: Drivers receive stop-by-stop routes on a dedicated app with turn-by-turn navigation, customer contact details, delivery instructions, and exception handling flows. No Salesforce access required by drivers.
• Live fleet visibility: Dispatchers see every driver’s live GPS position, current stop, and dynamic ETA on a single console, independent of Salesforce.
• Delivery status writeback: Milestones — dispatched, in transit, delivered, failed attempt — write back to the corresponding Salesforce record in real time. Customer service agents see current delivery status without leaving Salesforce.
• Proof of delivery: Photo, digital signature, OTP, and GPS-timestamped confirmation attach to the Salesforce order or case record automatically on stop completion.
• Customer tracking: A live tracking link is generated per delivery, shareable via SMS or WhatsApp. Customer service agents can share it from Salesforce without touching the delivery platform.
• Flow and automation triggers: Delivery events from SuiteFleet can trigger Salesforce Flow automation — updating case status, sending customer notifications, creating follow-up tasks, or escalating exceptions — so delivery outcomes drive the CRM workflow automatically.

Who This Is For

SuiteFleet is the right fit for Salesforce organisations running their own delivery fleet, where orders managed in Salesforce need to be executed by in-house or contracted drivers rather than third-party carriers tracked through external logistics portals.

The fit is strongest for:

• B2B distributors using Salesforce Sales Cloud or Order Management for customer accounts and orders, who manage their own last-mile delivery fleet
• Direct-to-consumer brands using Salesforce Commerce Cloud for orders, who have owned delivery capacity for same-day or scheduled delivery
• Field sales organisations using Salesforce to manage accounts, who coordinate physical delivery of products to those accounts using their own drivers
• 3PLs using Salesforce for client account and billing management, who need field execution visibility connected to client records

If all your deliveries go through third-party carriers tracked via carrier portals, SuiteFleet is not the right tool. If you run in-house drivers and currently manage their field execution outside Salesforce — in a spreadsheet, a WhatsApp group, or a disconnected tracking tool — SuiteFleet closes that gap and makes delivery data visible where your customer-facing teams work.

Technical Integration Details

• Authentication: Connects via Salesforce OAuth 2.0 using a Connected App with JWT Bearer token flow for server-to-server authentication. No user credential sharing required. Compatible with Salesforce Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer editions.
• Order sync: Delivery tasks created from Salesforce Order, Opportunity, Case, or custom object records. Field mapping configurable per object type. Supports standard and custom fields, including Salesforce Record Types.
• Delivery status writeback: SuiteFleet writes delivery milestones to the originating Salesforce record via REST API. Field mapping and update logic configurable to match your Salesforce data model.
• POD sync: Photo, digital signature, OTP confirmation, and GPS timestamp write to the Salesforce record as file attachments and field updates. Accessible in Salesforce record detail view and chatter feed.
• Platform Events support: Delivery events can be published as Salesforce Platform Events, enabling real-time event-driven automation via Apex triggers or Salesforce Flow subscriptions.
• Salesforce Flow integration: Delivery event webhooks from SuiteFleet can trigger Salesforce Flow via the REST API or Platform Events, enabling automated notifications, case updates, task creation, and escalation workflows.
• Salesforce Commerce Cloud: For organisations using Salesforce Order Management, SuiteFleet can receive order fulfilment records from the Order Management object model and write delivery outcomes back to fulfilment order records.
• Multi-org support: Organisations with multiple Salesforce orgs (e.g., separate sales and service orgs) can be configured with separate SuiteFleet integrations per org.

How It Works

1. An order, opportunity, or case is confirmed in Salesforce as normal.
2. SuiteFleet receives the delivery task automatically via API trigger, with customer address, order reference, and field data mapped across.
3. Routes are optimised across the day’s tasks and dispatched to drivers via the SuiteFleet mobile app.
4. Drivers execute deliveries, capturing proof of delivery at each stop.
5. Delivery status, POD records, and tracking data write back to the corresponding Salesforce record on completion. Salesforce Flow automations trigger if configured.

SuiteFleet gives Salesforce the last-mile visibility it cannot provide natively — so the customer data your teams manage in Salesforce stays accurate and complete from the moment an order is placed to the moment it arrives at the customer’s door.
