Store approved product manuals, safety sheets, warranty terms, certifications, and regulatory documents in OpenText Extended ECM Platform, then publish the relevant assets to Salesforce Commerce Cloud product detail pages. This ensures shoppers, distributors, and customer service teams always see the latest approved documentation without manual file handling.

Business value: Reduces compliance risk, improves product transparency, and shortens time to market for regulated products such as electronics, appliances, cosmetics, and industrial goods.

2. Order-Related Document Archiving and Retrieval

Data flow: Salesforce Commerce Cloud ? OpenText Extended ECM Platform

Business value: Improves audit readiness, simplifies dispute resolution, and reduces the operational burden of searching across commerce and back-office systems.

3. Customer Service Case Enrichment with Commerce Documents

Data flow: Bi-directional

When a service case is created in OpenText Extended ECM Platform or a connected workflow, retrieve the related order history, invoices, shipping documents, and product documentation from Salesforce Commerce Cloud. In return, store case notes, approvals, and resolution documents back in OpenText Extended ECM Platform for a complete customer record.

Business value: Gives support teams full context for faster case resolution, fewer handoffs, and better customer experience across service and commerce operations.

4. Returns and Claims Workflow Automation

5. Contract and Account Document Access for B2B Commerce

8. Omnichannel Fulfillment Exception Management
