Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud for Services — Powering Predictable, Proactive Customer Support
In the manufacturing industry, service plays a crucial role not just in customer satisfaction but also in profitability. With products becoming more complex and customer expectations rising, manufacturers must move from reactive issue resolution to proactive, seamless service delivery.
That’s where Salesforce Manufacturing Cloud for Service steps in. It offers a unified platform to manage assets, cases, orders, and warranties — all while enabling automation, tracking service performance, and improving partner collaboration.
Here’s how it helps service leaders solve the most pressing operational challenges in a connected, customer-centric way.

1. Fragmented Customer Interactions? Build Continuity with Timelines
Service agents often struggle to understand customer history — leading to repeated questions, miscommunication, and unresolved issues.
Manufacturing Cloud provides an interactive timeline of all customer interactions — cases, orders, asset issues, and service visits. This ensures every agent understands the full context, enabling consistent, informed support that builds trust and speeds up resolution.
2. Missed Opportunities? Use Contextual Alerts to Stay Ahead
Important service events like warranty expirations, open cases, or performance issues often go unnoticed until a customer complains.
Salesforce delivers real-time, contextual alerts related to key service triggers — like asset performance dips, order delays, or expiring warranties. Service teams can address issues proactively, reducing escalations and improving customer retention.
3. Slow Issue Resolution? Bring Orders, Cases, and Assets into One View
Support agents waste time switching between systems to track orders, case details, and asset history, causing frustration and delays.
With the Service Console, agents get a snapshot of all related data — assets, open cases, past orders, and helpful knowledge articles. Everything is centralized, speeding up investigation and resolution.
4. Manual Tasks Everywhere? Automate Common Service Actions
Manually creating cases, scheduling appointments, or managing claims slows down the process and frustrates both customers and teams.
Manufacturing Cloud for Service offers intelligent process automation. Based on service context, it recommends and triggers actions like case creation, warranty claims, extended warranty offers, or service appointments — all from one place.
5. Disconnected Asset Insights? Gain Full Visibility into Service History
It’s hard to diagnose issues or plan maintenance without a full view of what’s happened with an asset over its lifecycle.
Salesforce gives you a 360-degree view of assets — including alerts, key milestones, service tasks, and warranty coverage. This visibility makes issue resolution faster and supports more accurate service forecasting.
6. Lost Details? Capture Granular Asset Information with Precision
Essential details like serial numbers, account associations, or product-specific sales data are often scattered or missing.
With Manufacturing Cloud, you can capture detailed asset information — including contact, account, location, product, and serial data. These insights form the backbone for personalized and accurate service delivery.
7. Warranty Chaos? Centralize and Automate Warranty Management
Managing different warranty durations, terms, and usage rules across product lines is confusing, manual, and error-prone.
Salesforce lets you define custom warranty programs tailored to your business rules — including covered parts, periods, and usage limits. You can also automate claim approvals, cutting back-office workload and processing times.
8. Partners in the Dark? Improve Collaboration with Self-Service Portals
Partners and customers often rely on emails or phone calls to submit claims, leading to long delays and limited visibility.
Manufacturing Cloud empowers partners and customers to submit claims directly — through self-service portals or API integration. This reduces admin load, increases transparency, and speeds up the reimbursement process.
9. No Visibility Into Warranty ROI? Optimize for Profitability
It’s difficult to know which warranty programs are driving value — and which are eating into profits — without solid data.
Salesforce gives you detailed insights into warranty performance, helping you understand claims frequency, reimbursement trends, and customer behaviour. This enables smarter, data-backed decisions on future warranty design and service offerings.
