Why Refineries Need Salesforce Service Cloud + Field Service Lightning

Oil & gas refineries are high-stakes operations. They power economies, supply industries, and meet the world’s energy needs. Yet, they face tremendous challenges:

  • Downtime costs can reach millions of dollars per day.
  • Compliance and safety regulations are non-negotiable.
  • Field service must be precise and efficient in hazardous environments.
  • Workforce management spans thousands of employees and contractors.

 

Traditional CRMs cannot keep up with the scale, risk, and compliance refiners deal with. That’s why Salesforce Service Cloud + Field Service Lightning (FSL) have become essential for refinery operations.

At Perigeon, we’ve helped energy-sector leaders digitize operations and implement predictive, compliant service ecosystems.

 

Refinery Industry Challenges

  1. Downtime Costs

    • Even short outages impact supply chains and revenue.

  2. Safety & Compliance

    • Strict government and environmental standards.

    • Digital audit logs required for inspections.

  3. Complex Workforce Management

    • Technicians must be highly skilled and certified.

    • Contractor coordination is complex.

  4. Predictive Maintenance Needs

    • Pumps, valves, compressors, turbines require constant monitoring.

  5. Global Operations

    • Refineries often span multiple countries, increasing complexity.

 

How Salesforce Service Cloud Helps

  • Case Management → Track incidents, safety reports, and service requests.
  • Entitlement & SLA Tracking → Monitor compliance for service contracts.
  • Omni-Channel Support → Multi-channel incident logging.
  • Knowledge Base → Safety manuals, SOPs, compliance guides.
  • Analytics Dashboards → SLA and compliance visibility for leadership.

 

How Salesforce FSL Helps

  • Skills-Based Scheduling → Dispatch certified technicians only.
  • Mobile App (Offline Mode) → Crucial for remote refinery sites.
  • IoT Integration → Connected assets trigger preventive maintenance.
  • Asset Tracking → Service history for every pump, turbine, and valve.

 

Example

A refinery operator integrated IoT with Salesforce. When vibration exceeded thresholds in a gas compressor, Service Cloud created a case and FSL dispatched a certified technician. Result: incident prevented, SLA maintained, compliance record updated.
