Managing assets effectively is critical for any growing business. Salesforce Revenue Cloud Advanced (RCA) takes asset management far beyond the capabilities of traditional CPQ tools, giving companies a clearer picture of customer growth, renewals, and support needs.
In this post, we’ll walk through an Asset Lifecycle Management Features Demo and highlight how RCA helps organizations track and manage assets seamlessly over time.
A Real-World Example:
To demonstrate, let’s look at Cool Cats Technologies, a company that charges license fees based on the size of the customer’s organization.
Initial Purchase: A customer starts with 10 licenses.
Growth & Upgrade: Later, after rapid growth, the same customer upgrades to 50 licenses.
With RCA, these changes are tracked in a single asset record allowing full visibility into the lifecycle of that asset.
Key Features of Asset Lifecycle Management in RCA
1. A Single Asset Record Over Time
When the licenses are first created, RCA generates an asset record. Instead of replacing that record with each change, RCA updates it, providing a clear history of growth and adjustments.
2. Lifecycle Dates & State Periods
Lifecycle Start & End Dates: Track the beginning and renewal of current and future contracts.
State Periods: Represent each adjustment or renewal cycle, giving a timestamped record of when changes occurred.
This makes it easy to see not just where an account is today, but how it got there.
3. Asset Actions & Change History
Whenever a quote, amendment, or renewal is processed, RCA automatically creates related records. This builds a full log of changes over the lifetime of the asset.
4. Support Case Integration
Cases can be related to assets out of the box, making RCA especially valuable for customer success and service teams.
Onboarding cases: Track when licenses were provisioned.
Service cases: Capture when assistance is required for a physical or digital asset.
Amending Assets Directly
One of the standout features of RCA is the ability to amend assets directly from the asset record, something not readily available in most CPQ tools.
For Cool Cats Technologies, this means they can easily adjust the license quantity as their customers grow, following approval and quoting workflows. Once the order is generated, the asset record reflects the new state, along with all historical changes.
Why This Matters
RCA’s Asset Lifecycle Management gives companies:
Visibility into asset history and growth.
Efficiency in managing changes and renewals.
Integration between assets, quotes, orders, and support cases.
For organizations scaling quickly, this visibility can be the difference between reactive account management and proactive growth enablement.
