Salesforce Genie: Taking Data Management to the Next Level

Many times, we from SkyPlanner, have insisted on how the data-based and customer-centric approach is gaining space and leading in the modern business world. Data is a valuable vault of information, but it requires an adequate culture to take advantage of its maximum potential, as well as more innovative tools. Likewise, people are increasingly demanding a close relationship with their favorite brands. In fact, according to the 2021 Next in Personalization Report, 71% of customers expect every interaction with a business to be personalized.

Salesforce CRM, the forefront of business technology, throughout its existence, has created various solutions for data management. But it turns out that a lot of these solutions were built on acquisitions and mergers. This has resulted in many CRM customers using multiple Salesforce solutions, tools and applications, at the risk of storing customer data in different silos within each.

To solve this, in the last Dreamforce 2022, Salesforce Genie was presented: the first real-time platform to guarantee relevant, personalized and, above all, magical experiences.

What is Salesforce Genie?

Salesforce Genie is a hyperscale, real-time data platform that powers the entire Customer 360 platform. It enables companies to turn their customer data into highly fluid, personalized experiences that adapt to customer needs in real time.

Genie is the highest level reached in Salesforce’s quest for a fully integrated data platform. It’s a solution that enhances every cloud and industry in the Customer 360 ecosystem. Salesforce has done this before with Flow and Einstein by bringing automation and intelligence to every Sales, Marketing, Customer Service and Commerce process.

How does it work?

As the driving force behind Customer 360, Salesforce Genie captures, stores and unifies data streams on a massive scale in real time. It then integrates it with Salesforce’s own transactional data to create a unified view for each customer. To get into more detail, the process goes like this:

How Salesforce Genie Works

Connect your data

Genie has built-in connectors that allow you to capture, in real time, information from any source (mobile, web, API), including Salesforce apps, legacy systems from MuleSoft, and historical data from proprietary data lakes. This allows you to connect massive volumes of data that, stored in Genie, is visible and available for use in Customer 360. As well as across industry solutions, AppExchange, and customer applications.

It is worth noting that Genie operates on Hyperforce, Salesforce’s public cloud infrastructure. So Genie benefits from the security, privacy, and compliance controls, as well as the built-in data ethics capabilities found in Hyperforce.

Harmonize your data

It would be useless to have a huge volume of data if it does not provide clear and precise information about customers. To do this, Salesforce Genie offers the Customer Graph -Customer Graph- a set of data models that harmonize all data flows into a unified profile for each customer. This guarantees that all data, regardless of its origin, comes together in the same profile, providing a single source of information in real time.

Interaction backed by your data

At this point, identity resolution is achieved for each customer, providing a complete history of their interactions with the business in a single profile. Since the information stored in Genie is available to all of Customer 360, it will be accessible by any cloud or application within this platform. This allows to support, in real time, the agents of any department or sector with unified profiles for quick decision making.

Create magical experiences for your customers

The great advantage of unified and consistent information provided in real time is the hyper-personalization of the customer experience. In addition, with Flow automation and Einstein AI, the power of data can be exponentially increased on a massive scale in real time, for the development of more dynamic and proactive actions with customers. With Genie, Salesforce promotes, now more than ever, the creation of magical experiences for your customers in any sector or industry.

Salesforce Genie: A Level Above CDP

One of the main questions regarding Genie is its similarity to Salesforce CDP. However, Genie is a new level above CDP. In fact, the CRM itself emphasizes that Genie is not a simple addition to Salesforce CDP, nor is it an independent functionality to it. Rather, it is a rethinking of CDP itself and its capabilities.

Historically, CDPs have been a tool of the marketing area, uniting data from different channels in a single view. Genie represents a structural change in this regard. The two main differences of Salesforce Genie are, first, the access to information in real time, allowing instant updates.

Second, it guarantees access to information on all areas of customer contact. This means that all the teams in your company (sales, marketing, commerce, service and more) obtain all the information available from a client and adapt each experience they offer in order to make them totally personalized.

What people are saying

Five starts

Five stars on customer satisfaction and Salesforce appexchange ratings.

"Excellent Consultants. During the training I received by the SkyPlanner team, I was lucky to better understand the powerful capabilities of Salesforce.com. They were very effective, straight-to-the-point, and with a solid knowledge of the CRM and the Force.com platform. Definitively they showed us how to streamline the business process within our company. Great group of people spreading valuable knowledge to make businesses grow. I highly recommend them."

Ramiro Allen — Chief Software Engineer @ TurboPay Limited

"Excellent partner! We have been working with SkyPlanner for almost one year now. It has been a pleasure working with their team. If it wasn't for them we would have not been able to go-live with our platform when we did. They understood our needs and were not only able to execute but guide us in our decisions. We continue using them for our on-going projects. They have a deep understanding of the overall platform. Their team is always ready, willing and able to help."

Ivan de Moya — VP Innovation Technology @ SunStreet

"SkyPlanner was professional, creative, reliable and extremely accommodating. From the onset of the project, it was clear that we had found the right partner. Our project was complex and every time we hit a roadblock, SkyPlanner was helpful in identifying and implementing a solution. Jorge Fernandez [SkyPlanner's Co-Founder & Managing Director] was our primary contact and we cannot say enough about what an asset he was in bringing our project to resolution."

Ryan Borcherds — Marketing @ Deliver Lean

"On time, on budget, great quality on every project. Whenever I get asked to recommend a Salesforce.com partner, I do not hesitate on my reply: Go with SkyPlanner. I had the privilege to have worked with many teams over the years, none have brought to the table the enthusiasm the SkyPlanner team has. This combined with their professionalism and expertise are the reasons I ONLY recommend one partner: SkyPlanner. In every project (and we have done many) they have consistently delivered on time and on budget with significantly superior quality."

Juan Meza — Strategic Business Development Director @ Sony Electronics Inc.

"Outstanding Service! Happy to have them as our partner! SkyPlanner is by far the most experienced and reliable Salesforce partner. We almost gave up on Salesforce thanks to our previous partner, fortunately we found SkyPlanner and they came to the rescue! They took their time to understand our needs and complexity of our organization. Highly talented, professional and dedicated team. I cannot stress enough how happy we are to have them as our partner and we look forward to continue building our relationship."

Nolan Pereira — Project Manager @ BLU Products
