In 2024, the success of a field service business is majorly dependent on innovation and technology. For example, the very foundation of your field service management software can change the game.
In this competitive environment, having Salesforce Platform as the bedrock of your software isn’t just a choice; it’s a strategic decision that shapes your success.
What is Salesforce and its platform?
Salesforce is a leading company that built a customer relationship management (CRM) platform that revolutionizes how businesses manage their interactions and relationships with customers and prospects.
It provides a centralised hub where businesses can track leads, manage contacts, analyse customer preferences, and forecast sales. After the success of their CRM solution (Sales Cloud), they opened up their platform for 3rd parties to develop software solutions by themself.
For example: FieldBuddy offers the Salesforce platform to its customers without customers requiring to become a Salesforce customer themself.
By tapping into Salesforce’s inherent flexibility, security, and scalability, these platforms provide a future-proof approach to field service management.
