1What is Salesforce and why do businesses use it?

Salesforce is a cloud-based system you open in a browser or mobile app to manage everything about customers — sales, support, marketing, and internal workflows. Businesses don’t need to install software or manage servers; everything runs online. It keeps all customer data, communication, and tasks organized in one place so teams never lose track of leads or follow-ups.

Beyond being a CRM, Salesforce is also a platform where companies can build custom apps, automate processes, and connect multiple tools without heavy coding. It uses its own language (Apex) and modern UI framework (Lightning Web Components) to tailor the system for any business. This flexibility, automation, and ease of use is why Salesforce dominates the CRM market worldwide. Salesforce becomes the backend management system for any web app built on top of it, similar to a CMS — but it manages business data, not website content.

At its core, Salesforce helps companies manage every stage of the customer journey in one place. Instead of switching between different tools for leads, emails, support tickets, or reporting, Salesforce brings everything under one system so teams can work faster and stay aligned.

Keeps customer information organized Every detail — from first interaction to purchase history to support conversations — is stored in a single, up-to-date record.

Automates daily work Sales reps get automatic reminders, support teams get instant case routing, and managers get alerts when deals or issues need attention.

Makes collaboration easier Sales, support, and marketing teams see the same data, reducing miscommunication and speeding up decision-making.

Provides real-time insights Dashboards show what’s working, what’s slowing down, and where opportunities exist — without waiting for manual reports.

Grows with your needs Whether a business wants basic CRM features or wants to build custom workflows and internal tools, Salesforce expands with minimal effort.

2How Salesforce Is Used Across Different Industries

Salesforce isn’t just a CRM — it’s a flexible cloud platform that adapts to the workflows of any industry. Whether a business deals with sales, customer service, operations, or field teams, Salesforce provides ready-to-use modules and automation tools that fit their daily processes.

Because it’s customizable, scalable, and integrated with thousands of apps, industries use Salesforce to solve very different problems: hospitals improve patient journeys, retailers personalize customer engagement, and financial institutions manage compliance with confidence. Here’s how real industries rely on Salesforce.

Retail & eCommerce

Salesforce unifies shopper data, automates loyalty, and connects online + store operations.

• Centralized customer profiles

• Automated loyalty, recommendations, win-back flows

• Order, inventory, and support workflows

• POS, ERP, delivery, and marketing integrations

Healthcare & Life Sciences

Used as a secure backend for patient journeys and care operations.

• Patient onboarding, appointments, service flows

• Care-team collaboration and automated tasks

• HIPAA-ready access controls and audit logs

• Patient portals and mobile experience apps

Financial Services

A compliant backend for customer management and verification processes.

• Relationship and advisory workflows

• Automated onboarding, documents, and KYC

• Secure data access via permissions

• Integrations with banking and finance platforms

Education

Backend for admissions, communication, and student lifecycle management.

• Enrollment and admission automation

• Student progress and lifecycle tracking

• Parent–faculty portals

• Academic dashboards and reporting

Manufacturing

Connects sales, service, and supply chain operations.

• Dealer and distributor management

• Order-to-delivery tracking

• Field service scheduling and mobile workflows

• ERP, inventory, and production integrations

3Salesforce Lightning Web Components (LWC) vs Aura Components

Both frameworks allow custom UI development on Salesforce — but they differ significantly.

Aura Components (Legacy Framework):

• Older, event-driven architecture

• Slower performance

• Still needed for some legacy orgs

• Use Case: Existing Aura-heavy implementations needing incremental upgrades.

Lightning Web Components (Modern Standard):

• Built on native web standards

• Faster, lightweight, modular

• Reusable UI components for scalable UX

• Use Case: Dashboards, data tables, form builders, portal UI, custom CRM pages.

For any new development, LWC should be the default choice — Aura is only used when required for compatibility.

4Salesforce Data Cloud vs Traditional CRM Data Models — Which One Should You Use?

Most businesses don’t realize that how they structure their Salesforce data determines what they can automate, personalize, or predict.

Traditional CRM Data Model

• Stores customer info inside Salesforce objects

• Great for sales pipelines, service processes, and internal CRM workflows

• Works best when all data lives natively inside Salesforce

• Use Case: Small–mid teams with clean CRM data, limited sources, and straightforward automations.

Salesforce Data Cloud

• Unifies data from multiple systems (apps, websites, ads, support tools)

• Creates a real-time customer graph and identity resolution

• Powers hyper-personalization, advanced scoring, and AI

• Use Case: Companies with multi-touch journeys — eCommerce, EdTech, marketplaces, SaaS.

We push Data Cloud when clients want end-to-end personalization or multi-system visibility. For focused CRM workflows, the standard Salesforce data model is simpler, cleaner, and more cost-effective.

5Salesforce Flow vs Apex — What Should You Build With?

Teams often overuse Apex or push Flows beyond their capacity. Both have roles—but knowing when to choose which saves time, money, and support headaches.

Salesforce Flow

• Low-code

• Fast to build and modify

• Great for business automations

• Limited for heavy logic or large data volumes

• Use Case: Lead routing, approval automation, post-case updates, email/SMS triggers.

Apex

• High-performance custom code

• Handles complex logic and large datasets

• Required for deep system integrations and custom business rules

• Use Case: Payment workflows, custom quoting engines, high-volume updates, third-party integrations.

We default to Flow for speed and maintainability, and use Apex only when logic, scale, or integrations exceed Flow’s limits. This balance protects your Salesforce from becoming “developer locked.”
