Introduction to The Salesforce Clouds

Updated: Apr 13, 2021


Salesforce is the world’s number one CRM company. Initially, Salesforce began as a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software as a service provider (SaaS). Now, it offers a variety of product solutions as well as a platform on which consumers and developers can create and distribute custom software. It is built on a multi-tenant model which means that many consumers, businesses, and organizations can use the same technology.


Salesforce has several clouds and each serves a different purpose. All these clouds cater to a wide array of industries from nonprofits to healthcare from marketing to manufacturing, Salesforce has a platform for everyone.


Salesforce keeps on evolving and offering new products for different business functions and communities. Products like Salesforce Sustainability Cloud places Salesforce at the top of the CRM chain. Launching Work.com and Vaccine Cloud to tackle the Covid-19 challenges just shows the agile approach Salesforce takes. Learn more about the Salesforce Clouds here:


Sales Cloud


Salesforce Sales Cloud is a customer relationship management system (CRM) that enables a company's sales team. The Sales Cloud was created with B2B companies in mind, to assist them in processing leads and guiding a potential customer through a given sales cycle. Many B2C firms, on the other hand, use the Sales Cloud. Salesforce's first and most successful product was the Sales Cloud.

Marketing Cloud


Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a digital marketing platform that aids in customer interaction. This product includes a number of features that enable you to market to your customers via email, SMS, social media, and advertisement platforms such as Facebook. CRM data can be transferred into the Marketing Cloud in a seamless link with the Sales or Service Cloud.

Service Cloud


Users may use Service Cloud to automate service processes, streamline workflows, and find relevant posts, subjects, and experts to assist customer service representatives. The goal is to develop personalized marketing relationships with and customers through multiple platforms and devices.


Service for Apps allows you to integrate customer service tools into your apps. Live agent video chat, screen sharing, and on-screen guided assistance are all examples of in-app mobile support. Salesforce Community Cloud is now integrated with the app, allowing agents and customers more opportunities to connect.

Nonprofit Cloud


Nonprofit cloud is a collection of tools and solutions that work together to help mission-driven organizations communicate with donors, monitor volunteers, manage fundraising projects, program management, donor management, provide client support, and virtually everything nonprofits need to thrive. The basic foundation of nonprofit cloud is Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP).
