VitalPBX launches a comprehensive Salesforce CRM integration enhancing business communications through streamlined operations and improved customer interactions

VitalPBX, a leading provider of unified communications solutions, has officially released a detailed integration guide connecting its robust telephony platform with Salesforce, the world’s leading customer relationship management (CRM) system. This integration aims to provide organizations of all sizes with a strategic edge, enabling seamless synchronization between communication tools and customer data to enhance productivity, streamline operations, and drive meaningful customer engagement.

Integrating with Salesforce allows our users to have a unified view of customer interactions, leading to more informed decision-making and improved customer satisfaction.”
— Rodrigo Cuadra, VitalPBX CEO

With the business landscape evolving rapidly and customer expectations continuously rising, the ability to combine CRM systems with communication platforms is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. VitalPBX’s Salesforce integration offers a well-rounded solution that meets this demand by connecting the operational power of a VoIP phone system with Salesforce’s extensive CRM capabilities.

– The Power of Integration

“This integration allows our users to combine the best of both worlds: world-class telephony with top-tier customer relationship management,” said Joseph Montes, Channel Manager of VitalPBX. “It simplifies workflows, ensures data accuracy, and empowers teams to focus more on customer relationships and less on administrative work.”

– Key Integration Features

VitalPBX’s Salesforce integration introduces a host of intelligent features aimed at optimizing the way businesses handle customer communications:

Click-to-Dial: Users can initiate calls directly from Salesforce contact or lead pages with a single click, saving time and reducing the risk of dialing errors.

Automatic Call Logging: Every inbound and outbound call made via VitalPBX is automatically recorded in Salesforce. This includes timestamps, duration, caller identity, and notes, improving accountability and transparency.

Screen Pop-Ups with Customer Data: When a call is received, Salesforce immediately presents relevant customer records, giving agents valuable context before answering the call.

Real-Time Analytics and Dashboards: Users gain access to detailed reports and dashboards tracking call volumes, durations, response times, and other key metrics.

Voicemail to CRM: Voicemails left in VitalPBX can be logged and accessed from within Salesforce, ensuring no customer query is left unaddressed.

Workflow Automation: Users can configure Salesforce workflows triggered by specific call events—such as follow-up reminders or task assignments—automating crucial parts of the customer journey.

These features are not only designed to improve communication efficiency but also to foster better customer experiences by ensuring all interactions are informed, timely, and well-documented.

– Streamlined Setup with a Step-by-Step Guide

Understanding that technical complexity can hinder adoption, VitalPBX has made the integration process straightforward. The published guide walks users through the complete configuration process, from Salesforce to VitalPBX, ensuring even non-technical users can successfully deploy the integration.

The process includes:

Creating a Connected App in Salesforce: Users define app parameters, including callback URLs and OAuth scopes, to establish a secure, token-based authentication between platforms.

Configuring OAuth 2.0 Authentication: Ensures secure, encrypted communication between Salesforce and VitalPBX.

Mapping Fields for Call Data: Administrators align CRM fields to call data elements such as phone number, call duration, notes, and agent details.

Testing the Integration: VitalPBX provides a sandbox environment to test the entire workflow before going live, ensuring reliability and minimizing disruptions.

Each of these steps is documented in an easy-to-follow format with screenshots and troubleshooting tips.

Industry-Specific Applications
The integration’s benefits extend across a wide spectrum of industries. Here’s how different departments and sectors can harness its capabilities:

Sales Teams
Sales professionals benefit immensely from the automatic logging of interactions and real-time access to lead histories. With the click-to-dial feature, they can save time and reach more prospects. Real-time screen pops ensure they are never caught off guard, enabling more meaningful and informed conversations.

Customer Support
Support agents often juggle high volumes of calls. This integration simplifies their workflow by immediately presenting caller information and past interactions. With all calls logged, team leaders can better manage agent performance, and ensure that issues are addressed swiftly and accurately.

Marketing Departments
Marketers gain valuable insights from call data, such as which campaigns drive the most customer engagement or which customer segments require tailored messaging. These analytics can feed back into marketing automation tools for more precise targeting.

Healthcare & Legal
Industries that rely on detailed record-keeping and timely communication, such as healthcare providers and legal firms, can benefit from the integration’s compliance-friendly logging features and secure data handling.

Competitive Edge in a Hybrid Work Environment
As businesses increasingly operate in hybrid and remote models, maintaining a unified communications system that integrates with core operational tools is vital. VitalPBX’s integration supports this shift by ensuring that remote teams have access to the same features and data as in-office personnel.

“Whether your team is working from a corporate office or from home, they can access the same call features and customer data,” noted Montes. “This kind of flexibility is essential in today’s work environment, and VitalPBX is proud to support it.”

– Data Security and Compliance

With security being paramount in any customer-centric system, the integration follows best practices for data protection:

OAuth 2.0 secure authentication

Encrypted data transfer

Role-based access control

Audit logs for every interaction

VitalPBX ensures compliance with industry standards, making it suitable for highly regulated industries.

– Future Roadmap and Enhancements
VitalPBX has committed to continuous improvement and already has a roadmap for future enhancements, including:

AI-powered Call Summarization: Automatically generate summaries of conversations and integrate them into CRM records.

Multichannel Support: Expand CRM integration to include SMS, WhatsApp, and other communication channels.

Voice-to-Text Transcription: Convert voicemails and call recordings into searchable text for easier access and analysis.

“These enhancements will further bridge the gap between communication and intelligence,” said Montes. “Our goal is to not only help businesses connect, but also to help them understand and grow from those connections.”

– Training and Support

To ensure a smooth transition, VitalPBX provides extensive resources, including:

User Documentation: Detailed manuals and video tutorials.

Webinars and Live Demos: Ongoing sessions to guide users through setup and advanced features.

Customer Support: Dedicated support team available via phone, email, and chat for real-time assistance.

Gartner Survey Finds 73% of CSOs Are Prioritizing Growth from Existing Customers for 2025

Experts Explored How to Align Value Propositions with Customer Expectations at the Gartner CSO & Sales Leader Conference, May 20-21 in Las Vegas

Seventy-three percent of CSOs are prioritizing growth from existing customers for 2025, according to a survey by Gartner, Inc.

In a survey of 243 CSOs and senior sales leaders conducted from October through November 2024, Gartner found that 57% of CSOs see account retention and growth as a top-3 priority. Despite the importance of retaining and growing existing customers, many organizations are hindered by a customer value gap – as suppliers struggle to convert the promise of their value proposition into realized customer value.

Experts revealed the findings today during the Gartner CSO & Sales Leader Conference, which is taking place in Las Vegas.

“In today’s competitive market, retaining and expanding relationships with current customers is not just a priority—it’s essential for sustainable growth,” said Daniel Hawkyard, Director Analyst in the Gartner Sales Practice. “As sales organizations strive to retain and grow their customer base, they must address the value gap, which will lead to lower retention, advocacy, and growth if not managed effectively.”

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with David Sudbey, Chief Customer Officer at Dialpad

Aligning on Customer Value: Building the Foundation for Lasting Partnerships

Sales organizations must first align cross-functional teams around why customers choose to partner with them. This involves recognizing the unique value proposition that initially attracts customers and ensuring that this promise aligns with their strategic goals.

“Customers are not just buying a product; they are buying the promise of value realization,” said Hawkyard. “Sales leaders must focus on helping customers realize this value, rather than trying to drive value proposition utilization.”

Customer feedback plays a crucial role in this process. By systematically capturing and sharing qualitative feedback from customers, organizations can illustrate the value realization journey, ensuring that customer needs are met and expectations are exceeded.

CSOs Role in Closing the Value Gap: Creating a Unified Approach Across Teams

CSOs play a critical role in closing the value gap by taking a leading role to align the broader organization around a vision and understanding of the organization’s value proposition, and their customers’ value realization. This involves articulating the value proposition consistently and aligning it with the customer’s journey.

“A unified, cross-functional approach is essential,” said Hawkyard. “CSOs must ask themselves and their teams what truly differentiates their value proposition, and how it helps customers achieve their business objectives.”

Executing on the Value Path: Transforming Customer Engagement into Tangible Success

Delivering value that drives both retention and growth requires a structured approach. CSOs must enable their teams with clear guidance around the path to realize customer value. The value path begins with onboarding programs that acclimate customers to the partnership, followed by personalized learning experiences that enhance understanding.

“The goal is to transform knowledge into action,” concluded Hawkyard. “By providing contextualized experiences, sales leaders can help customers increase proficiency and confidence, ultimately leading to full adoption of the seller’s solutions.”

Tailor Raises $14 Million in First Close of Series A to Power the Next Generation of Composable ERP

Logo

Round led by ANRI to support Tailor’s growth in North America and Japan amid rising demand for agile enterprise systems

Tailor, the headless ERP platform that delivers composable architecture to SMBs and enterprises, announced it has raised $14 million USD in the first close of its Series A funding round. The investment was led by ANRI, one of Japan’s leading early-stage venture capital firms, with participation from Spiral Capital.

Tailor, the headless ERP platform that delivers composable architecture to SMBs and enterprises, announced it has raised $14 million USD in the first close of its Series A funding round.

This funding milestone comes at a time when global supply chains remain volatile, operational complexity continues to rise, and enterprises are actively rethinking their core systems, according to Tailor CEO and Cofounder Yo Shibata.

“Legacy ERP systems weren’t designed for the pace or complexity of operations, and companies can no longer afford 18-month ERP rollouts,” said Shibata. “We’re excited to partner with ANRI and Spiral Capital on our mission to empower operators with a platform that adapts as fast as their business evolves.”

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Hayden Stafford, President & Chief Revenue Officer at Seismic

Tailor enables companies to move away from rigid, monolithic systems by embracing composable architecture: a modular approach where best-of-breed applications are integrated via APIs to create agile, scalable business systems tailored to each organization’s needs.

“Tailor represents a new category of business systems infrastructure: the speed of a startup with the rigor enterprise ops leaders require,” said Junichiro Kono, General Partner at ANRI. “We’re excited to support Yo and the Tailor team as they enable modern enterprises with modular, API-first and adaptable solutions.”

Tailor’s headless architecture separates the data and logic layer from the UI, allowing operational teams to build, customize, and automate workflows across systems. Historically, businesses using monolithic legacy ERP systems would have to undergo re-architecting core systems to change workflows or integrate with new software.

Read More: How SalesTech is Reshaping Buyer-Seller Dynamics?

Tailor’s headless and composable architecture enables companies to:

  • Integrate or migrate to best-of-breed tools without re-architecting their ERP
  • Automate cross-system workflows (for example, Tailor’s inventory module syncs data across purchasing, fulfillment and accounting systems)
  • Give developers and AI agents direct, programmatic access to ERP functions
  • Deliver custom experiences across internal and customer-facing interfaces

“For fast-growing retail brands managing inventory, fulfillment and omnichannel marketplaces, Tailor provides an attractive and future-ready alternative to point solutions and legacy ERPs,” Shibata added.

This latest funding enables Tailor to expand go-to-market efforts in North America while investing in product development and customer success in Japan. Tailor has already gained strong traction among mid-market and enterprise customers in both the U.S. and Japan.

Tailor plans to raise $30 to $40 million USD in its Series A, and additional investors and strategic partners are expected to join in the coming months.

Glean Logomark Blue

New integration with Snowflake Cortex Analyst enables business users and agents to analyze structured data using natural language to unlock faster insights

Glean:GO Work AI leader Glean announced a strategic collaboration with Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, to simplify and accelerate structured data analysis for enterprises. Through this collaboration, Glean now integrates directly with Snowflake Cortex Analyst, enabling users and agents to query structured data stored in their Snowflake environment directly from Glean using natural language or SQL. By combining Snowflake Cortex Analyst’s industry-leading text-to-SQL capabilities to derive insights and take access across structured data, with the hundreds of workplace applications and documents within Glean, the integration delivers a unified, context-rich workflow that helps employees find, understand, and act on information with greater speed and confidence.

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Ari Widlansky, Managing Director and COO – US for Esker

Today, many enterprises face a growing gap between data availability and data usability. While the volume of structured and unstructured data continues to surge, it often remains inaccessible to the majority of employees, blocked by technical barriers such as SQL expertise and fragmented data silos. Business users are often forced to rely on technical teams for data access or to make decisions without a full view of the facts, ultimately slowing agility and stalling innovation.

Through this collaboration, joint customers benefit from:

  • Immediate access to Snowflake insights: Powered by Cortex Analyst’s state-of-the-art text-to-SQL capabilities, any employee can now query structured Snowflake data directly in Glean using natural language – no SQL expertise required.
  • Complete context from all enterprise data: Glean combines structured insights from Snowflake with unstructured content from platforms like Gmail, Google Drive, Jira, and Slack, delivering complete answers across all connected systems.
  • Faster, smarter decision-making: By accelerating time-to-insight from days to minutes, Glean and Snowflake empower teams across sales, marketing, support, and engineering to move faster and drive better business outcomes.
  • Automated insights in business processes: Glean agents can also query structured data from Snowflake in any agentic step, enabling the creation of complex analysis workflows.

Glean’s integration with Cortex Analyst further empowers users to unlock enterprise knowledge, providing an open agent platform, and enables organizations to harness structured data as easily as unstructured information within Glean.

“We believe every employee should be able to ask a question and get an answer – no technical skills required, no time lost waiting – regardless of where that data lives,” said Tamar Yehoshua, President Product & Technology, Glean. “With our support for Snowflake Cortex Analyst, we’re working with Snowflake to close the gap between data and decisions, empowering organizations to work smarter, faster, and with full context.”

“At Snowflake, we believe AI should be easy, efficient, and trusted,” said Baris Gultekin, Head of AI, Snowflake. “By partnering with Glean, we’re making it even easier for joint customers to harness the power of their structured data, and providing more choice and flexibility around how and where they use Cortex Analyst to unlock business insights.”

HeyMarvin Transforms the Dynamics of Research with New AI Moderated Interviewer

The technology offers a completely new methodology for collecting customer feedback

HeyMarvin, the only AI-native customer feedback repository, announced the AI Moderated Interviewer. AI Moderated Interviewer is a new AI agent that leverages Voice AI to conduct moderated user interviews on demand, transforming how research is conducted at scale. The AI Moderated Interviewer offers a more in-depth and comprehensive alternative to surveys or unmoderated testing while keeping the convenience and scale of both.

“HeyMarvin as the leader in AI technology for customer research…The AI Moderated Interviewer is a massive innovation for getting insights faster than ever.” – Scott Banister, tech entrepreneur, early-stage investor behind PayPal, Facebook, Uber.

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Alberto Benigno, Chief Sales Officer at Wildix and Founder of Sales Elevate Lab

HeyMarvin’s AI Moderated Interviewer empowers product teams to do two things:

  1. Conduct dynamic conversations with potentially thousands of participants simultaneously without the need for a human facilitator.
  2. Analyze interview responses in real time to extract trends and actionable insights.

“This is the first time in decades we’ve seen a completely new research methodology for how we collect customer feedback,” said Prayag Narula, CEO and co-founder of HeyMarvin. “What makes it so powerful is that it enables free-flowing, qualitative, engaging conversations — but on demand and at scale. We’re talking hundreds, even thousands of people, something that was previously only seen at large scale using a small army of volunteers in moments like presidential elections. Now, even a small team can have that same in-depth dialogue with their customers. It’s not just a better survey, and it’s not replacing traditional user interviews. It’s a whole new way of doing research that simply didn’t exist a few months ago.”

“As the tech landscape evolves, I’m excited about how AI enhances the way we do research. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all methodology — we now have a dynamic toolkit that works for different situations,” said Vanessa Whatley, research leader at Twilio. “AI moderation has many upsides and is much more natural than an old-school, unmoderated study. I don’t see human moderation going away, but it’s impractical in several scenarios. This is where AI moderation lets companies efficiently collect quality data at scale.”

Read More: SaaS Companies See Unprecedented Growth Through Strategic Social Media Marketing

AI Moderated Interviewer:

  • Interviews thousands of participants at the same time: Maximize researchers’ time by conducting large numbers of AI-led, qualitative, and engaging conversations without human moderator interaction.
  • Gives your participants flexibility: Participants can complete interviews at their convenience, making the interview process more accessible and user-friendly.
  • Speaks your language: Organizations can collect insights from users across the world, in more than 40 different languages, and translate them back into yours.
  • Receives more honest answers: Anecdotally, the AI moderator facilitates more frank input from participants since they may feel more comfortable providing critical feedback to an AI agent rather than a human interviewer.
  • Is perfect for teams without enough resources to conduct interviews: By incorporating research best practices, AI Moderated Interviewer augments the work of experienced researchers and dramatically expands the number of teams who can benefit from qualitative feedback.
  • Plugs into existing workflows: AI Moderated Interviewer integrates with an organization’s own research tools and workflows.

“As a long-time partner, I view HeyMarvin as the leader in AI technology for customer research. Having invested in 100s of companies, those that win out are the ones that have a crystal clear understanding of customers,” said Scott Banister, noted tech entrepreneur and early-stage investor behind companies like PayPal, Facebook, Uber, and now HeyMarvin. “The AI Moderated Interviewer is a massive innovation for getting these insights faster than ever. Combined with everything else the product can do, HeyMarvin is light years ahead of others in this space — and the team is moving faster than ever.”
