Story
Consumer Discretionary work at Adidas spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Germany. Customer profiles was splitting across regional habits. Data and experience teams asked for a shared way to run customer data operations without freezing local judgment.
Salesforce (Service Cloud) is what they standardized on. Salesforce is the enterprise customer relationship platform for sales, service, marketing, and customer data, with Slack as the collaboration layer. Adidas uses it as the system of record for customer profiles, with data and experience teams as the primary operators and other groups coming in through the same queue.
Leaders get a picture they can actually walk. Teams get fewer mystery statuses. The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
