Salesforce Data 360 – Unify Your Data, Elevate Your Customer Experience

From data silos to real-time activation: make all your customer information work smarter

In a business world where every interaction matters across channels, devices and journeys, simply collecting data isn’t enough. You need to connect, understand, and activate it — and that’s where Salesforce Data 360 enters the stage. Combined with the consulting expertise of Marketing Automation Canada, you can turn fragmented data into connected insights and truly meaningful customer experiences.

How our agency supports you

At CRM Forge, we specialise in helping businesses succeed with Salesforce Data 360 — from strategy through execution and ongoing optimisation.

Our Service Offering

Our service can be structured into phases, adapted to your maturity, objectives and budget:

  • Audit your current data ecosystem: sources, silos, quality, identity strategy, systems in use.
  • Define strategic business use-cases: e.g., unified customer view, real-time engagement, retention, cross-sell, service enhancement.
  • Map the data journey: what sources, what ingestion, what modelling, what activation channels.
  • Set measurable business goals and KPIs linked to Data 360 deployment.

Implementation & Setup

  • Configure your Data 360 environment: ingestion pipelines, data model design, identity resolution rules, unified profiles.
  • Build data harmonisation and modelling: map sources, clean/transform data, define schemas, match and reconcile identities.
  • Integrate with other systems: CRM (e.g., Salesforce CRM), marketing automation, service systems, commerce platforms.
  • Activate governance: privacy/consent management, security policies, data usage framework.

Activation & Channel Enablement

  • Build dynamic insights: calculated metrics (e.g., lifetime value, churn risk, engagement score) from unified data.
  • Support real-time workflows: when a customer browses, purchases, or engages — you respond accordingly.
