Optimizing Salesforce Audits with the Jet BI Audit Tool

Background

A multinational financial services company approached Jet BI to address challenges in maintaining the health and performance of their Salesforce org. Their manual audit processes were time-consuming, lacked depth, and often failed to detect critical performance and compliance issues.

Objective

The goal was to automate Salesforce org audits, increase the scope and accuracy of evaluations, and provide actionable recommendations to optimize system performance and data quality.

Solution

Jet BI implemented the Audit Tool, leveraging its powerful automation features and integration with Selenium for enhanced functionality. The approach included:

1. Custom Audit Template Development:
   • Allowed configuration of the detailed audit steps structure to cover Apex code reviews, user permissions, storage usage and other mission critical states of the organization. 
   • Implemented template export and import in a human readable format (JSON\CSV)
   • Included parameters for detecting unused workflows, potential data inconsistencies, and performance bottlenecks.
2. Automated Audit Execution:
   • Configured the Java-based RPA-like audit engine with encrypted credentials and organization-specific configuration support. Selenium library has been used at the core
   • Automated API-based checks for metadata, workflows, and security settings.
3. Selenium Integration:
   • Developed Selenium scripts to audit UI-specific configurations and third-party app integrations.
   • Ensured coverage of all critical Salesforce components, including custom objects and Lightning UI elements.
4. Results Parsing and Reporting:
   • Parsed audit outputs directly into Salesforce custom objects.
   • Generated detailed reports with actionable insights, trends, and KPI calculations.
