Our Salesforce Architecture
Salesforce at Opploans is used more than just a CRM. We are the source of truth for most data in Origination and Servicing and the back office tool to access the rest. Our development processes are built around multiple releases a week supported by CI/CD, custom built linters, automated environment spin up, a strong product organization, and quality-oriented development practices.
