Challenge vs. Solution

Three Entities, One Conga Grouping Limit, and Documents That Didn't Add Up

✕ Before — The Challenges 6 Problems
Each of the three business entities needed unique branding, templates, and business rules, maintained manually and inconsistently.
Invoice product lines were duplicated on the page, producing incorrect totals and confusing customer-facing documents.
Customer statements could only be generated for the current date, with no support for historical statement requests.
Vendor remittance documents grouped multiple transactions into a single row, requiring manual correction before every send.
Credit notes and customer statements relied on fully manual email and batch distribution by finance staff.
Conga's standard grouping functionality supported only a single field, which couldn't handle Astrolift's multi-attribute product grouping.
✓ After — What We Built 6 Fixes
We built a dynamic multi-company framework that auto-selects branding, sender email, and PDF naming per entity from one Salesforce org.
We rebuilt the Conga SOQL queries and rendering logic so identical product lines aggregate correctly into one accurate row.
We added a Statement As Of Date field with dynamic Conga parameters, enabling statements for any historical date on demand.
We redesigned the remittance template with date-based transaction grouping, so every row reflects one transaction.
We connected Salesforce Flow, Outbound Messages, and Conga Trigger so credit notes and statements generate and send themselves.
We engineered a composite grouping key to group invoice lines by product code, description, and unit price together.

What We Did

Five Phases, From Process Audit to Company-Wide Automation

Discovery

Mapped Document Complexity Across 3 Legal Entities

We audited invoice, credit note, statement, and remittance workflows across Astrolift Ltd, North Pacific Supplies NZ Ltd, and North Pacific Supplies Pty Ltd. We identified exactly where Conga's standard grouping and templating fell short of the client's business rules.

Process MappingSalesforce AuditConga Assessment
Framework Build

Built the Multi-Company Document Framework

We implemented dynamic branding, sender selection, and PDF naming conventions so each entity's invoices, statements, and credit notes render correctly from one shared Salesforce environment. Conditional sections handle company-specific content automatically.

Automation

Solved Multi-Attribute Invoice Grouping

We built a composite grouping key field and rebuilt the underlying Conga SOQL queries to group line items by product code, description, and unit price simultaneously. We also handled blank product code edge cases and optimized invoice rendering logic.

Distribution

Automated Credit Note and Statement Delivery

We connected Salesforce Flow, formula-based parameter generation, Outbound Messages, and Conga Trigger into a single chain: a user click now generates the document and sends the email without manual intervention.

Scale & Reporting

Rolled Out Company-Wide Batch Processing

We deployed Conga Batch jobs across all three entities with dynamic record filtering and company-specific email distribution, then centralized every generated invoice, statement, and remittance inside Salesforce for audit-ready document history.

We didn't just template the invoices — we rebuilt how three entities think about a single line item. Grouping that used to confuse customers is now correct every time, automatically, across every company we run.
