You also get a rundown of the important Revenue Management features that can help you enhance every aspect of your telecom operations.
The Foundation of Agentforce Communication
Agentforce Communications extends Agentforce Revenue Management with telecom-specific capabilities. Think of Revenue Management as the foundation that provides product catalog, sales, and quoting and ordering functionality. While Agentforce Communications adds industry features that are specially designed for communications service providers.
Revenue Management features help you manage your complete revenue lifecycle, including:
- Product Catalog Management for organizing your offerings.
- Salesforce Pricing for rates, promotions, and discounts.
- Product Configurator for creating accurate and compatible orders.
- Transaction Management for quote-to-order workflows
- Dynamic Revenue Orchestrator for fulfillment automation.
These features address common telecommunications challenges, reduce order fallout, and accelerate product time-to-market.
Let’s now take a quick tour of the primary Agentforce Revenue Management features.
Overview of Revenue Management Features
Product Catalog Management helps you organize your telecommunications products into hierarchies. Think 5G plans with data tiers, broadband packages, device options, and add-ons such as device insurance and streaming bundles. By using Business Rules Engine, you can define bundling rules and dependencies to automatically ensure device compatibility with selected plans and customer eligibility. These tools are ideal for releasing new products quickly, no matter how complex they are.
You also have all the tools you need to enhance the selling experience for both your reps and customers. When sales reps configure a family mobile plan to the customer’s preferences, Salesforce Pricing calculates promotional rates and contract discounts. The Product Configurator guides the rep through options, such as the number of lines, shared data allowances, and device selections, ensuring valid configurations throughout the process. This integrated approach helps you launch products faster and produce accurate quoting without manual calculations or compatibility checks.
When a customer accepts a quote, Transaction Management converts it to an order and then routes quotes and contracts. Use asset management to keep close track of customer devices and services, and easily manage upgrades and changes over time.
Dynamic Revenue Orchestrator automates order decomposition, separating commercial products (what the customer bought and the associated pricing) from the fulfillment details.
The orchestrator then routes fulfillment tasks to appropriate systems to reduce manual handoffs, minimize errors, and accelerate service activation.
