The chemical industry underpins everything from agriculture and pharmaceuticals to construction and consumer goods. Global chemical plants produce materials that fuel countless industries—but they also face immense pressure:
- Strict regulatory compliance (safety, environmental, and quality)
- Complex supply and dealer networks
- Service contracts tied to plant uptime and safety standards
- Rising demand for predictive maintenance and proactive service
Traditional CRMs often fall short of handling the scale, compliance, and complexity chemical plants require. That’s why Salesforce Service Cloud and Field Service Lightning (FSL) are becoming the go-to solutions for chemical manufacturers worldwide.
At Perigeon, we’ve helped process-heavy industries (chemicals, refineries, plastics) digitize their service ecosystems using Salesforce.
