Common Integration Use Cases Between Salesforce Commerce Cloud and Air Inc.

1. Real-Time Inventory and Availability Sync

Data flow: Air Inc. to Salesforce Commerce Cloud

Integrate Air Inc. with Salesforce Commerce Cloud to publish live inventory, stock status, and availability updates into product detail pages, cart validation, and checkout.

2. Order Routing and Fulfillment Orchestration

Data flow: Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Air Inc., with status updates back to Salesforce Commerce Cloud

Send confirmed orders from Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Air Inc. for fulfillment processing, routing, and shipment execution.

• Route orders to the optimal warehouse or store
• Support split shipments and partial fulfillment
• Sync shipment milestones, tracking numbers, and delivery confirmations

3. Customer Account and Profile Synchronization

Data flow: Bi-directional

5. Returns and Reverse Logistics Processing

Data flow: Salesforce Commerce Cloud to Air Inc., with return status back to Salesforce Commerce Cloud
