  • We greatly reduced redundant work and streamlined cross-team workflows by using cases as a place to document and distribute tasks.
  • This led to faster delivery times and reduced errors as well as better knowledge retention.
  • We use documentation from past experiences with a client to inform us on how to treat them in future interactions. It also helps us resolve issues with other clients experiencing similar issues thus reducing the chance of making the same errors again.
  • Metrics from case entries tells us our weak points whether they're resource based, training or systems so we can reduce future incidents and deliver a higher quality level of service.

  • We have cut our service team in half over the past 5 years due to the efficiency of the tool
  • The amount of direct inquiries to our technical team is less than 10% compared to the number support tickets that get entered in the system for them to work in a more organized manner
  • Responses are 100% more timely because tickets can be responded to by any individual in the queue or on the team, as opposed to direct emails to just one person

  • We are saving hours from our Brokerage team, who was originally using the CRM/email app Front, as things are much more organized through salesforce
  • There has been some negative impact on our engineering team's capacity, who had to get quite involved with setting up Salesforce due to its complexity and ability to customize
  • Our customer success team was able to bring down the SLA times slightly, about 15 minutes faster in terms of response times to customers

  • Salesforce has had a great ROI for us by alleviating several duplicate steps.
  • We are still early in our implementation, so more ROI will come as we continue to develop the platform to our needs, but it has already solved many business practices such as routing incoming emails to the appropriate person/team, allowing visibility to work across a department and applying quick template responses to our customers.
  • Salesforce has allowed for more reporting on granular details for our management teams and will continue to improve as we integrate our other systems to leverage Salesforce reporting and analytics.

  • Because this is a cloud service, the security, implementation framework and feature list is very mature and you don't have to develop these during implementation.
  • The larger the implementation programme the better the licensing arrangements
  • Free developer toolkit for proof of concepts or showcasing features
  • Limited to annual subscription model

  • We do not measure our support platform from an ROI perspective, we selected this from a requirements level and future growth. This is the only platform that allows us to build upon existing data and select from multiple applications to integrate later.
