Aoyuan's Customer Care Evolution: From Vision to "Wow" with Salesforce & RYZ

Updated: Jul 19



The Quest for Customer Care Excellence

Aoyuan, a leading real estate developer, prioritized an exceptional customer experience during the warranty phase.  Armando Ramirez, Director, Customer Experience, Warranty & Technical Audit, championed a bold vision: a "wow" factor for homeowners, characterized by a seamless and delightful journey.  However, existing solutions like New Star and Builderlynx, although potentially strong in specific areas, couldn't fulfill this ambitious vision. 

They fell short due to critical limitations:


  • Limited Reporting: Information remained trapped within each tool, hindering data analysis and proactive problem-solving.

  • Inflexible Customization: Tailoring tools to evolving needs was difficult and costly.

  • Outdated User Experience: Unintuitive interfaces hampered user adoption and overall efficiency.


The "Wow" Factor Catalyst:  Selecting the Right Tool

Leveraging his past experiences, Armando spearheaded the evaluation of customer care solutions. After a thorough assessment of various vendors, Salesforce & RYZ emerged as the clear choice. Here's why, as Armando himself describes:

"We looked at several different vendors. But after the demos and really diving deep into the functionalities... Salesforce & RYZ with their modern user interface, the fact that it's constantly being updated and improved, that really stood out to us.  Also, the big picture perspective you get with the data and having everything in one platform – that was a game-changer."

Winning Over the Skeptics

One of the biggest hurdles was gaining buy-in from the construction team, not known for their tech-savviness.  Armando describes the turning point:

"The site supervisor was our biggest challenge because they're not techy people... So to be able to show them something in a very quick amount of time with the mobile app and show them how easy it was... And then he turned around to everybody and he said "guys If I can do this, I expect all of you to be able to do it, no exceptions..."

From Frustration to "Wow": Team Performance Soars

The intuitive design of Salesforce & RYZ not only won over the skeptics, but also transformed the internal experience for Aoyuan's customer care team.  Armando reflects on the positive shift:

"Before, there were always complaints about the old tools. It was never easy... “ But with Salesforce & RYZ, there are no more complaints.  In fact, the team's performance has gone up – they're resolving issues faster and there's a lot more collaboration.

Leadership Embraces Data-Driven Decisions

The benefits went far beyond the customer care team. Easy report and dashboard generation ignited a data-driven culture within leadership. Once Armando revealed the power of readily available insights, the leadership team became actively engaged. They started asking insightful questions like, 'Why are we seeing a delay in X deficiency?' This newfound curiosity fueled proactive decision-making, ensuring progress aligned with strategic goals.

A Legacy Beyond Aoyuan

The impact of Salesforce & RYZ transcended Aoyuan's walls.  A former site supervisor, who transitioned to another builder, lamented the lack of Salesforce:

"...and he said man how much I miss Salesforce. You have no idea how my new job over here is. I'm back to the Flintstone era and I was so used to it and now I'm not!'"

This anecdote highlights the transformative power of Salesforce & RYZ. By embracing an intuitive and innovative platform, Aoyuan achieved:

  • Exceptional Customer Experience: Streamlined communication and proactive issue resolution create a lasting impression on homeowners.

  • Enhanced Team Performance: User-friendly tools empower teams and optimize workflows.

  • A Competitive Edge: A future-proof platform ensures Aoyuan stays ahead of the curve in customer care excellence.
