Valorx Fusion FAQs
Valorx Fusion handles more complexity than X-Author, while remaining flexible and user-friendly. Valorx Fusion supports complex data models, queries, and workflows, and does not slow down when dealing with high volumes of data. In comparison, X-Author only provides limited support for complex systems and struggles with high volumes of data. Valorx Fusion is also more versatile and adaptable to user needs. With Valorx Fusion, you can see multiple record types in one view, work productively in Express Mode, and access it on both PC and Mac. Valorx Fusion also offers pre-built apps for a range of use cases. X-Author provides none of these features and flexibility and is only available on PC.
Valorx Fusion eliminates the need to import or export data. It turns your Excel spreadsheet into your Salesforce interface, allowing you to manage your Salesforce data directly from your Excel spreadsheet with a seamless connection.
Valorx Fusion allows professionals to work in Excel or Google Sheets with Salesforce data and build high-volume quotes, without that data ever leaving Salesforce. This eliminates the need for moving data sets around or being entirely dependent on the Salesforce interface. Instead, professionals maintain high data hygiene and get to work the way they’re used to using Excel or Google Sheets to manage their Salesforce data.
Valorx Fusion is largely for sales administrators and revenue teams. With Valorx Fusion, Salesforce administrators can optimize the entire Salesforce experience for their organization, simplifying data management, data modeling, quote building, bundle configuring, and much more. Revenue professionals can work much more efficiently with Salesforce, using the familiar interface of a spreadsheet. That means accurate, up-to-date records in Salesforce; faster quote delivery to prospects; and more time to focus on selling instead of data entry and management.
Valorx Fusion creates a 2-way connection between your Excel spreadsheets and Salesforce. This allows you to work with Salesforce data directly in your Excel spreadsheet in real-time. When you save your work, all your Salesforce records are updated to reflect the latest changes.
