FAQ

What is the Doorvana Salesforce project?

Doorvana is a garage door manufacturer, installer, and service company running three lines of business — Service, New Construction, and Wholesale — through one Salesforce org. Nocona Consulting handled the move from Salesforce Pro Suite to Enterprise Edition to unblock Field Service, designed the Field Service object model, carved Wholesale out of Field Service entirely, and established a single revenue ledger on Order and Order Products.

Why should wholesale stay off Field Service objects?

A wholesale line of business sells product to dealers: there is no crew, no truck, and no service appointment to schedule. Putting wholesale orders on Work Orders means paying Field Service licenses for people who never dispatch anything, maintaining scheduling objects with nothing to schedule, and adding a permanent exception to every operational report. Keeping wholesale on the Opportunity and Order path is cheaper in licensing, simpler in reporting, and easier to maintain.

Is Doorvana an independent client of Nocona Consulting?

No, and it is worth being direct about it. Doorvana's owner is also a co-owner of Nocona Consulting. They are two separate companies — Nocona Consulting has no ownership stake in Doorvana — but the engagement is not arm's-length, so it should not be weighed as independent proof. What it is good for is detail: the build logs carry real metadata and real mistakes because there is no client sign-off standing in the way.

Can I speak to a reference from a past client?

Not yet. Doorvana is the current engagement and it is not an arm's-length one, so offering it as a reference would be misleading. Once outside engagements wrap, references will be available and will be named as such. In the meantime the build logs are the evidence on offer — they show the actual reasoning and the actual metadata rather than a testimonial.
