Salesforce: Growth Hacker for Manufacturers 

For manufacturers, Salesforce is like an improved front-end & robust backend to digest all your customer data from email requests, and quotes, work on proposals & show it in the smartest way possible. The faster they can capture the order data from Salesforce CRM as Order, Tasks, Activities, or Accounts, the quicker they grow on data. This is just one way manufacturers experience data growth in Salesforce.  

Manufacturer’s Tech Stacks & How it Adds Up in Salesforce Data Growth

Manufacturers leveraging a sophisticated tech stack—comprising Manufacturing Cloud, Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and specialized AppExchange apps—face Salesforce data storage limitations and scalability challenges. 

Manufacturing Cloud in Salesforce streamlines production and inventory data, while Sales Cloud enhances sales tracking and forecasting. Service Cloud improves customer support and feedback loops. AppExchange apps further extend functionality, enabling customization and integration tailored to specific manufacturing needs. As these systems work together, they generate a vast amount of interrelated data (multiple object relationships), necessitating robust strategies for Salesforce data management and leveraging this data to drive growth and operational efficiency.
