GetOnCRM’s Winning Formula at the 2025 Agentforce Hackathon

The focus at the 2025 Salesforce Agentforce Hackathon was on execution rather than just innovation. GetOnCRM’s Agentforce Hackathon solution stood out among the dozens of teams that built quickly and strategically because it not only delivered a brilliant idea but also a functional model that addressed actual internal workflow problems.

What was unique about GetOnCRM? It was clarity, not complexity.

Resolving the Issue No One Discusses

Slow internal support is a problem for the majority of enterprise teams. Ticket stall. Escalations are postponed. Valuable time slips away. GetOnCRM addressed the fundamental problem—internal service delays—and used intelligent Salesforce automation to resolve it rather than developing a new tracking tool.

Their remedy? A Slack-integrated support workflow created with Salesforce Flow Builder automation and connected through Salesforce Data Cloud integration. The agent could:

Quickly determine the urgency of the ticket

Pull background information from previous cases

Escalate to the appropriate channel in real time

You can accomplish this without ever leaving Slack.

This was not a theoretical demo—it was a functional prototype made for real enterprise support teams.

Integration in Real Time That Works

What made the solution even more impactful was its seamless connection to live enterprise data. With Salesforce Data Cloud, the agent worked off the latest information—not outdated snapshots—allowing it to make fast, accurate decisions without human intervention.

Thanks to agent memory and context awareness, the bot could deliver a personalized, intelligent support experience, reducing back-and-forth between staff.

The Tools That Powered the Win

GetOnCRM’s strategy was built on simplicity and real impact. These were the key ingredients:

Salesforce Agent Builder—the central control hub for the entire workflow

Slack-based Salesforce workflows—removing the need to juggle tools

Apex logic and Flow Builder—to automate smart, multi-step decisions

Cross-cloud Salesforce automation—linking operations, support, and collaboration platforms like Health Cloud, CPQ, and Revenue Cloud

Their approach resulted in a workflow that was not just smart but also scalable and enterprise-ready.

Built for Teams That Want to Move Faster

The goal wasn’t flashy tech—it was to remove friction from business processes. The hackathon confirmed what GetOnCRM’s Salesforce automation consulting services already strive for: real transformation using the right tools, fast.

This project wasn’t just a hackathon submission—it became a repeatable automation framework for intelligent support and operations.

Fraunhofer-Institute, Lamarr Institut, igus und Uni Bonn entwickeln Sprachmodell für kostengünstige Automatisierungslösungen in der Kommissionierung Köln, 1. Oktober 2024 – Mitte September fand bei igus in Köln ein Hackathon statt. Unter dem Motto „Künstliche Intelligenz trifft Robotics“ arbeiteten 17 Teilnehmer in drei interdisziplinären Teams daran, fortschrittliche Automatisierungslösungen für die Logistik zu entwickeln. Ziel des Hackathons war es, mithilfe eines großen KI-basierten Sprachmodells (Large Language Models, kurz: LLM) eine automatisierte Methode zum Verpacken von Pizzen zu schaffen. Die Veranstaltung fand in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Fraunhofer-Institut für Intelligente Analyse- und Informationssysteme IAIS, der Universität Bonn, dem Lamarr Institut und dem Fraunhofer-Institut für Materialfluss und Logistik IML statt. 20-mal Tonno, 10-mal Salami und 25-mal Margherita: So lautet die Bestellung des Supermarkts um die Ecke bei einem großen Hersteller von TK-Pizzen. Das klingt nach einer einfachen Aufgabe, ist jedoch immer noch Handarbeit, die aktuell manuell erledigt wird. Eine einfache und wenig anspruchsvolle Arbeit, für die sich oftmals kein Personal findet. Eine Lösung hierfür entwickelten 17 Teilnehmer der Fraunhofer Institute IAIS und IML, des Lamarr-Instituts für Maschinelles Lernen und Künstliche Intelligenz sowie Mitarbeitende der Universität Bonn innerhalb eines 5-tägigen Hackathons bei igus in Köln. Und zwar mithilfe von kosteneffizienter „Low Cost Robotic“ made in Cologne. Die Aufgabe des Hackathons lautete: Entwickelt eine Automatisierungslösung, die mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) die Pizzen automatisch verpackt. Die Herausforderung bestand darin, einen Roboter so zu steuern, dass er über Sprachanweisungen direkt von Mitarbeitenden die richtigen Produkte erkennt, greift und in Mischpakete verpackt. Durch die Kombination von Generativen KI (GenAI) und Robotik sollte eine Lösung entwickelt werden, die diese repetitive Arbeit effizienter und kostengünstiger gestaltet. Automatisierung der Industrie mit KI und kostengünstiger Robotik Während des Hackathons arbeiteten drei Teams an einem realen Use Case, bei dem ein ReBeL Roboterarm vor einem Förderband mit verschiedenen Pizzaprodukten platziert wurde. Mithilfe einer Webcam und einem KI-basierten Segmentierungssystem (Segment Anything Model, SAM) erkannten die Systeme die verschiedenen Produkte auf dem Förderband und identifizierten ihre Position. Das Sprachmodell ordnete diese Objekte den gewünschten Produkten zu, basierend auf den natürlichsprachlichen Anweisungen. Anschließend legte der Roboter die Produkte in die Boxen, indem er die Anweisungen des Sprachmodells befolgte. Alexander Zorn vom Fraunhofer IAIS zeigte sich begeistert von den Ergebnissen des Hackathons: „Wir freuen uns sehr, mit dem igus Robotik-Know-how reale Proof-of-Concepts für Kunden in der Industrie zu entwickeln. Die Kombination von Künstlicher Intelligenz und Robotik bietet enorme Potenziale, um Arbeitsprozesse zu automatisieren und effizienter zu gestalten.“ Auch Alexander Mühlens, Prokurist und Leiter der Abteilung Low Cost Automation bei der igus GmbH, betonte die Bedeutung des Hackathons: „Die Zusammenarbeit mit den Instituten gibt uns die Möglichkeit, unseren Kunden zu zeigen, was alles mithilfe von KI und Low-Cost-Robotic möglich ist. Unser Traum ist es, Roboter über einen Sprachbefehl einfach steuern zu können, und das in jeder Anwendung.“ Der Hackathon zeigte, dass durch den Einsatz von LLMs und Robotik viele weitere Automatisierungsmöglichkeiten denkbar sind, wie beispielsweise das gleichzeitige Packen mehrerer Boxen, das Sortieren von Produkten nach speziellen Anweisungen oder das Überprüfen von Inhaltsstoffen auf Allergene mithilfe von Kamerasystemen. Die erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit zwischen igus, dem Fraunhofer IAIS, dem Lamarr-Institut der Universität Bonn und dem Fraunhofer IML unterstreicht das Potenzial dieser Technologien für die industrielle Automatisierung.

**Über die Partner** Das Fraunhofer IAIS ist eines der führenden Forschungsinstitute auf den Gebieten Künstliche Intelligenz (KI), Maschinelles Lernen und Big Data, während die Universität Bonn als Zentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz und Robotik bekannt ist. Das Fraunhofer IML in Dortmund brachte seine Fachexpertise in der Logistikautomatisierung und im Materialfluss ein. Während das Lamarr-Institut führend in der internationalen KI-Forschung und dem Maschinellen Lernen ist.
