by | Oct 12, 2021 | Company News

Today, we took part in the Leeds University Virtual Careers Fair. Taking place throughout October for different areas, this was for STEM inc. engineering, computing and math’s for jobs in engineering, tech and data. In a series of short sessions, Kathleen and Martin spoke to a number of potential candidates looking for more information on a career in IT.

The sessions are designed for each party to get to know a bit about each other and then, if successful, go on to arrange a more in-depth interviews.

This was the company’s first experience of this type of event but it is something we will definitely look at again in the future.

Cindercone Technical Consultant, Martin Cloudsdale returned from his Ironman Triathlon in Barcelona in a jubilant mood following his success in completing the incredible task.

Martin faced 2 meter waves in the swimming and shocking headwinds in the cycling, down to some unseasonal weather in the normally warm Spanish city.

The tournament followed weeks of training in the build up including swimming in the North Sea and daily runs.

Running in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, Martin has already raised nearly £700 and its not too late to add to that total, you can still sponsor him here.

Well done Martin, your team mates are proud of your great achievement.

Salesforce to Sage, Getting Our Own House in Order

by | Aug 16, 2021 | Integrations

At Cindercone, we think it’s important to practice what we preach.

So, working with Salesforce Consulting Partners, Mint we decided to get our Salesforce CRM system talking to our website and Sage 50 Cloud accounts software.

Mint has been a valued partner for some time now. We work together with a number of customers on Salesforce integration with ERP systems and websites using Magma as the solution, so they were the logical choice to work with on our own internal systems.

We use a few different tools such as TaskRay in Salesforce recording time spent on projects then sending that information to Sage for billing.

Another area is importing enquiries from our website through to Salesforce using Web to Lead. We then use Salesforce to create opportunities, then produce quotes and orders, then Magma puts the data into Sage for billing.

Integrations between SFDC and accounts/ERP are becoming more popular as companies choose best of breed solutions in a loosely coupled fashion.

Magma is the perfect tool to link these solutions together.

Keep watching as we publish updates on this and other projects on our website and social channels.

Get in touch with us if you would like to see how this can work for your business, whether you use Sage, SAP or another ERP that we work with.
