The Internet of Things (IoT) revolution is upon us, connecting billions of devices and generating immense streams of real-time data. For many growing businesses, harnessing this capability effectively holds the key to new levels of efficiency, customer insight, and innovative services. Salesforce, the world’s leading CRM platform, offers potent tools to integrate and capitalize on this IoT revolution.
The Why — A one-size-fits-all approach is never the best solution.
Salesforce offers a robust platform with a wealth of features. However, it’s important to remember that the “out-of-the-box” solution might not perfectly align with your specific business needs. A study by Salesforce itself found that 72% express their intent to maintain loyalty towards companies providing swifter service, while 65% indicate a similar commitment if the company tailors their experience more personally. The same applies to integrating IoT data with Salesforce.
At Delegate, our Salesforce experts specialize in crafting IoT solutions that drive tangible business outcomes. Let’s explore three critical areas where Salesforce, empowered by IoT, can transform your operations.
The How — How to Get the Most Out of Salesforce and IoT
We understand that every business operates differently. Here’s how our team of Salesforce consultants can help you bridge the gap between Salesforce and IoT to unlock new possibilities:
- Customizing Data Ingestion: The key to unlocking the potential of IoT data lies in seamlessly integrating it with Salesforce. Our team will design a customized data ingestion strategy to ensure real-time sensor data from your connected devices flows smoothly into your Salesforce instance. This may involve leveraging Salesforce IoT Cloud connectors or building custom integrations to match your specific data formats and needs.
- Enhancing Analytics with IoT Insights: Salesforce is a powerful CRM platform, but incorporating real-time IoT data can significantly enhance your analytics capabilities. Delegate consultants will help you develop custom dashboards and reports that combine customer data with sensor information. Imagine predicting equipment failures before they happen, personalizing product recommendations based on usage patterns, or identifying upsell opportunities based on real-time data.
- Automating Workflows with Connected Devices: The true magic of IoT lies in automation. Our team can help you leverage Salesforce automation tools like Process Builder and Workflow Rules to trigger actions based on sensor data. This could involve sending automated alerts for maintenance needs, launching personalized marketing campaigns based on device usage, or streamlining customer support processes based on real-time diagnostics.
