5.0

Rod S.: Hi, my name is Rod, and I work for an FMCG company with 500 plus employees here in Australia. For our use with Salesforce Platform, I'd absolutely give that a score of five out of five. Before we moved to Salesforce Platform, we used a front-end tool called StayinFront, and we moved from that to Salesforce Platform because StayinFront was unable to be shared with the broader business from a reporting and data access sense. We chose Salesforce Platform because of the ease of customization and the ability, through the permissions, roles, and profiles, to be able to give appropriate data access and information flow to all areas of the business and users that needed it. Bringing Salesforce into the business and going through the build and onboarding process with all of the users was very, very simple. The usability of the platform is really easy for most users to grasp when the functionality is all very intuitive. For anybody out there who's considering moving to Salesforce Platform, I would absolutely recommend it. The customization ability of the platform, the usability of the platform, and the ability to report on any data field within the platform makes it all a really good CRM for being able to track and invest in your customers.
