Ensure Clean, Unified Customer Data in Salesforce

Salesforce is both a key origination point and a critical consumer of your organization’s customer data. Yet, without a strong master data management (MDM) foundation, CRM data can become fragmented, duplicated and unreliable. This lack of data governance undermines personalization, account management, compliance, and ultimately, the customer experience.

Stibo Systems MDM SmartSync for Salesforce simplifies integration between STEP and Salesforce, accelerating time to value by improving customer data hygiene and delivering a trusted, unified customer view across your enterprise. It provides a fast, best-practice approach to integrating Salesforce with the Stibo Systems MDM platform and seamlessly extends enterprise-grade MDM governance into Salesforce with real-time duplicate prevention (via “Search Before Create” functionality), bidirectional synchronization of customer data and complex merge event handling.

The hidden cost of poor data hygiene

As a vital hub for customer data, your Salesforce CRM should support your growth initiatives, not hinder them. Yet without proper data governance, even the most sophisticated CRM system becomes unreliable:

  • Duplicate records create confusion and lead to inefficiencies in sales
  • Outdated information results in failed personalization and frustrated customers
  • Fragmented profiles prevent true understanding of customers
  • Compliance risks multiply with inconsistent data practices

And these data quality issues can have a substantial impact to the bottom line. According to a recent report from Validity, 31% of CRM admins indicated that poor quality data costs them at least 20% of their annual revenue.

Key benefits

  • Customer data you can trust:
    Cleanse, deduplicate and validate CRM records to ensure accuracy, completeness and trust

  • Single customer view:
    Consolidate fragmented data into a unified profile for every customer

  • Real-time duplicate prevention:
    Stop duplicates at the point of entry in Salesforce with “Search Before Create” functionality

  • Always current information:
    Ensure updates flow seamlessly between Salesforce and Stibo Systems Platform with bidirectional synchronization

  • Accelerated time to value:
    Use a proven implementation model without costly custom development or complex integration design

  • Enterprise-ready:
    Supports complex organizations, custom objects and multi-cloud environments

  • Best practice approach:

  • Future-proofed:
    Maintained by Stibo Systems for compatibility with future Salesforce releases 

 When Salesforce is powered by enterprise MDM, it stops being an isolated CRM and becomes part of a unified customer strategy - aligning sales, service and marketing on a single trusted view.
