Salesforce for Web

Product snapshot

Salesforce is a market-leading customer relationship management platform designed to help organizations convert prospects into paying customers. It combines a suite of cloud services and tools that support sales, customer service, marketing, commerce and development, with strong compatibility across many third-party applications.

Core approach to customer value

At its heart, the platform focuses on organizing customer data, addressing client needs, and maximizing the lifetime value of each customer. Salesforce centralizes contact and interaction records so teams can deliver personalized experiences and identify opportunities for up-sell and retention.

What the platform includes

Salesforce is a full-featured CRM with modules that span many business functions. Key areas supported include:

• App development and custom solution building
• Analytics and business intelligence
• E-commerce and commerce management
• Marketing automation and campaign management

Extensibility and ecosystem

Because of its popularity, Salesforce offers one of the broadest ecosystems of integrations and add-ons among CRMs. Its APIs are widely adopted across industries, and numerous plugins exist to extend Salesforce’s capabilities or to embed Salesforce features into other software.

Anywhere access and mobility

Built on cloud infrastructure, Salesforce services are reachable from any device with an internet connection. That ensures teams can access up-to-date business data remotely and keep customer information in sync regardless of location.
