The fertilizer industry plays a vital role in global food security. With agriculture feeding nearly 8 billion people, fertilizer manufacturers are under immense pressure to deliver quality, consistency, and compliance while ensuring plant uptime.

But the sector faces unique challenges:

• Strict environmental and safety regulations
• Complex dealer and distributor networks spread across rural and emerging markets
• High cost of downtime in fertilizer plants (affecting crop cycles and food supply)
• Rising demand for predictive maintenance in processing equipment

Traditional systems are siloed and reactive. Salesforce Service Cloud + Field Service Lightning (FSL) help fertilizer manufacturers digitize service operations, ensuring compliance, transparency, and proactive servicing.

Key Challenges in Fertilizer Manufacturing

1. Environmental & Safety Compliance

   • Fertilizers involve chemicals regulated globally.

   • Plants must maintain auditable compliance records.

2. Dealer/Distributor Management

   • Fertilizers distributed via thousands of regional dealers.

   • Communication gaps create delays in addressing farmer/dealer complaints.

3. Plant Downtime

   • Downtime disrupts production → impacts agricultural supply chains.

4. Warranty & Service Contracts

   • Different machines and equipment with varying warranty terms.

5. Workforce Management

   • Certified technicians needed to maintain hazardous equipment.

How Salesforce Service Cloud Helps

• Case Management: Centralized system for dealer complaints, farmer queries, and safety incidents.
• Entitlements & Contract Automation: Automates warranty validations for equipment.
• Omni-Channel Support: Multi-channel incident logging (phone, portal, email, chatbot).
• Knowledge Base: Access to compliance manuals and safety SOPs.
• Analytics Dashboards: Track SLA adherence and compliance in real time.

How Salesforce FSL Helps

• Skills-Based Scheduling: Dispatch only certified technicians for hazardous environments.
• Mobile App (Offline Mode): Useful in rural/factory locations with limited connectivity.
• IoT Integration: Connected equipment (pumps, compressors, mixers) triggers preventive servicing.
• Asset Tracking: Maintains service history for every machine in the plant.

Example

A fertilizer OEM integrated IoT sensors with Salesforce. When abnormal pressure was detected in a mixing unit, Service Cloud auto-created a case and FSL dispatched a certified technician. This prevented a major safety incident while ensuring SLA compliance.
