Why Medical Supplies Manufacturers Need Salesforce Service Cloud + Field Service Lightning

The medical supplies industry ensures hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers have the tools they need—from syringes and gloves to ventilators and diagnostic devices. The stakes are high: lives depend on uninterrupted supply and equipment reliability.

Challenges are intensifying:

 

  • Strict compliance with FDA, CE, ISO13485, MDR regulations
  • Global dealer and distributor networks
  • High volumes of warranty and replacement claims
  • Downtime of life-saving equipment causing risks to patients

 

Traditional CRMs lack the compliance depth and scalability. Salesforce Service Cloud + Field Service Lightning (FSL) provide medical supplies OEMs a unified platform to digitize service, automate compliance, and deliver predictive equipment servicing.

 

Challenges in Medical Supplies Manufacturing

  1. Regulatory Compliance

    • Every incident must be logged for FDA/CE audits.

  2. Dealer & Distributor Networks

    • Medical supplies distributed globally through multi-tier partners.

  3. Warranty & SLA Management

    • Coverage varies for consumables vs. durable devices.

  4. Downtime Risks

    • Ventilators, monitors, and diagnostic devices need zero downtime.

  5. Service Workforce

    • Skilled technicians required for device installation and servicing.

How Salesforce FSL Helps

Example

A ventilator OEM integrated Salesforce IoT + FSL. Abnormal oxygen flow detected → Service Cloud auto-created a case → FSL dispatched certified technician. Result: device downtime reduced by 33% and compliance reporting became fully digital.
