The packaged foods industry is one of the fastest-moving consumer markets, spanning everything from snacks and beverages to frozen meals and health supplements. Global consumption is rising, but so are challenges:
- Stricter food safety and compliance regulations
- Increasing demand for sustainability and traceability
- Complex dealer, distributor, and retailer ecosystems
- Pressure to reduce downtime in food processing plants
Traditional CRMs often struggle to integrate compliance-heavy and distribution-driven workflows. Salesforce Service Cloud + Field Service Lightning (FSL) enable food manufacturers to digitize service, streamline dealer networks, and proactively manage equipment servicing.
