India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, with consumer demand, pharma exports, textile manufacturing, and infrastructure projects driving growth. But with scale comes complexity.

• FMCG brands serve millions of retail outlets, demanding rapid complaint resolution and distributor engagement.

• Pharma manufacturers must comply with stringent FDA, DCGI, and WHO regulations while ensuring medicine supply chains are uninterrupted.

• Textile companies are under pressure to meet global sustainability certifications while serving fashion and upholstery markets worldwide.

• Cement producers support India’s massive infrastructure boom, managing multi-tier dealer networks and SLAs with contractors.

Traditional ERPs and CRMs often fall short in managing India’s scale, compliance requirements, and diverse distribution networks. Salesforce Service Cloud and Field Service Lightning (FSL) help Indian enterprises digitize service delivery, automate compliance, and create predictive service ecosystems.
