Welcome to friendlier experiences for business buyers

Consumer-like shopping experiences for business buyers? Yes indeed, but with the B2B-specific functionality that they need, such as custom catalogs, authenticated logins, one-click reordering for large orders, multiple shipping locations, and payment types. More on Salesforce B2B Commerce.

Get interactive in real-time, marketers

What if marketers could visualize, analyze, and deliver contextually relevant experiences to consumers like offers, promotions, and discounts — in real-time? Well, now they can, with Interaction Studio, which even suggests the next best offer for consumers based on how they are interacting with the brand.

Text with your customers

Customers can message a brand to ask a question, initiate a return or schedule a delivery time — around the world. With newly expanded global availability for LiveMessage, customer service teams can message customers regardless of carrier or device manufacturer by using a local number. More on LiveMessage.

Don’t forget nonprofits

Salesforce.org, the philanthropic arm of Salesforce, today announced Nonprofit Cloud, a complete solution set that enables nonprofits to track and measure programs in real time, raise more funds by unlocking data with AI-driven insights and give every constituent personal attention.
