Salesforce isn’t just what we do, it’s who we are. Gerent began as one of the company’s own professional services teams, implementing solutions on Salesforce’ behalf. After eight long years of learning and growth, we ventured out to explore the ecosystem on our own; however, we’ve never forgotten our roots.
Today, our industry expertise doesn’t just inform us; it inspires us to keep pushing, keep discovering, and keep expanding our integration capabilities. We aren’t afraid to blaze new trails if it means delivering the results our clients need — and we regularly develop custom solutions that redefine what’s possible for Salesforce products.
Discovery is our way of life, and we are committed to living it.

Customer expectations in the automotive sector are at an all-time high. Today, shoppers expect car buying to be as easy and seamless as purchasing a computer at Best Buy or an item from Amazon. However, the car-buying experience often falls short of those expectations, leaving consumers feeling confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated by their sales or service experiences.
This white paper will explain why experiences are inextricably tied to customer return rates and operational performance and make a case for why organizations should adopt an omnichannel approach to customer engagement.
Anyone who has bought, sold, or taken a vehicle in for service knows that customer experience is a major pain point for the automotive industry. Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), dealers, and service providers alike have long struggled to give customers the clear communication and personalized experience they need, especially as the industry shifts into a digital-first model. But to meet consumers’ increasingly high expectations, they need effective digital tools– which is exactly what Salesforce’s newly-announced Automotive Cloud intends to provide.
