Why Dairy Manufacturers Need Salesforce Service Cloud + Field Service Lightning

The dairy industry plays a vital role in global nutrition, producing milk, cheese, yogurt, butter, and more. With demand rising worldwide, dairy manufacturers face mounting challenges:

  • Strict food safety and compliance regulations (FSSAI, FDA, HACCP)
  • Short shelf life of dairy products requiring just-in-time logistics
  • Complex dealer and distributor networks across urban and rural regions
  • Equipment downtime in pasteurizers, chillers, or packaging units = product losses

 

Traditional CRMs often fail to manage this complexity. Salesforce Service Cloud + Field Service Lightning (FSL) empower dairy manufacturers to digitize service, ensure compliance, and protect product quality.

 

Challenges in Dairy Manufacturing

  1. Food Safety & Compliance

    • Dairy plants must meet strict hygiene and safety standards.

  2. Dealer & Distributor Ecosystem

    • Milk and products distributed across vast networks daily.

  3. Shelf Life Constraints

    • Delays in logistics or equipment downtime = spoilage.

  4. SLA & Warranty Management

    • Service contracts for cold chain equipment and packaging lines.

  5. Technician Scheduling

    • Skilled engineers required for refrigeration and pasteurization systems.

 

How Salesforce Service Cloud Helps
