Copper is a critical industrial metal—used in electrical wiring, electronics, energy infrastructure, and construction. With rising demand from renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs), copper manufacturers are under pressure to ensure uptime, efficiency, and compliance.
Challenges are mounting:
-
Equipment downtime in smelters and rolling mills costs millions.
-
Dealer and distributor networks span multiple countries.
-
Environmental and safety compliance is non-negotiable.
-
Customers demand transparency and predictive service.
Traditional CRMs lack the sophistication for metals manufacturing. Salesforce Service Cloud + Field Service Lightning (FSL) help copper OEMs digitize service, streamline dealer interactions, and manage predictive plant operations.

How Salesforce Service Cloud Helps
- Case Management → Complaints, incidents, and dealer queries logged centrally.
- Entitlement & SLA Automation → Auto-validates warranty and service contracts.
- Omni-Channel Support → Dealers log issues via portals, email, phone, or chatbot.
- Knowledge Articles → Safety and repair procedures shared digitally.
- Analytics Dashboards → SLA and compliance visibility across plants.
How Salesforce FSL Helps
- Skills-Based Scheduling → Assign only certified copper plant technicians.
- Mobile App (Offline) → Essential for remote mining and smelting sites.
- IoT Integration → Connected smelters, mills, and compressors trigger cases.
- Asset History Tracking → Full digital log for every machine and component.
Example
A copper smelting OEM used Salesforce IoT + FSL. Equipment heat anomalies triggered automatic cases, and FSL dispatched technicians with proper certifications. Result: unplanned downtime reduced by 31% and SLA breaches cut by 24%.
