Did you realize that Salesforce is the perfect place to store Knowledge Base articles and track user interactions?
Follow us below as we share a use case from a logistics company using Salesforce and Titan to speed up workflow processes for its business teams with a custom Knowledge Base.
Salesforce Workflow Automation in the Freight Industry
A large and successful logistics company noticed that workflow processes began slowing down with their business growth. The company had become sizable, with over 250 employees who needed training and direction to handle and solve their work queries.
“I spend many hours in meetings helping my colleagues solve internal problems. I would love to concentrate on my projects to deliver quality work.“
Logistics Specialist
Listening to the employees in the logistics company, the Executives decided that the organization needed a space for their staff to read up on standardized processes, quickly learn best practices, and eliminate reliance on seniors in their organizational teams.
The logistics company turned to Titan as they wanted a flexible platform to create a Knowledge Base that could be hosted on its website without writing any code!
Essential Titan Features of the Salesforce Knowledge Base
The Executives of the logistics company handed over a few requirements to our Titan experts to address:
Can you relate to this organization’s use case? Does your staff have the confidence to make decisions in all workflow processes and procedures in their roles?

Automating Workflows in Salesforce
With the hiring rate growing more and more each month to assist with the workload of the logistics company, there are now a vast amount of new hires at the organization that needs to quickly learn how to work efficiently and independently.
“Although new employees turn into regular employees over time, they still need assistance from peers or senior members of the team to complete tasks. This lack of confidence slows down our projects.”
Skills Development Facilitator
Some of the tasks identified by the logistics company that would be beneficial to share on a Knowledge Base include the following:
“A Knowledge Base would allow employees to be more confident in their tasks and speed up any workflow processes by eliminating the time it takes to ask for help by accessing the answers immediately from the Knowledge Base.”

Titan’s Workflow Automation Facelift in Salesforce
There’s never been a better time for the logistics company to upgrade its business workflows! The company used a template from Titan Web to create a Knowledge Base powered directly by Salesforce.
Customized Designs your Staff will Boast About
Titan provided a completely customizable Knowledge Base that has been added to the logistics company’s existing website. The web design team was able to take full advantage of branding the Knowledge Base by customizing the following elements:
“The Titan Web app gave us all the tools to create an incredible UX/UI experience for our colleagues”
Senior Web Designer
Plenty of Permissions for User Access
Per the company’s requirements, Titan has provided a Knowledge Base with a few different views. An employee’s role in the company determines which articles they will see upon entering the Knowledge Base.
“I like that I get a curated list of articles to read that are relevant to my industry. It would take quite a bit to scroll through all the posts on the Knowledge Base, knowing how many different departments my company has.“
Warehouse Supervisor
How does this work? Employees sign into the Knowledge Base with an email address. Titan analyzes this data based on the profile user permissions assigned to the email address and then determines what view the employee will see.
For example, two employees log into the same Knowledge Base, but General Manager sees five articles related to management, whereas the Logistics Specialist views eight articles covering logistics.
Hello, Interactive Content!
Titan has also provided employees at the logistics company the ability to view all articles organized into categories to allow readers to easily choose which one they would like to read.
Employees may also view any comments and likes on an article from peers with an option to download the report as a PDF using Titan Docs if they prefer.
But how does a reader comment on an article? Titan has provided a comment box where employees can type and submit comments on an article. Additionally, employees can quickly click on a simple button in the comments box to share further information, such as yes or no to “Was this article helpful or not?”
Furthermore, to declutter articles and elevate the user experience, all feedback from posts is sent to Salesforce. The comment box disappears simultaneously once a reader has interacted with the widget for the utmost experience
