Story
Consumer Discretionary work at Subaru spans more than one site, even when headquarters sits in Japan. Case handling was splitting across regional habits. Agents and team leads asked for a shared way to run customer service operations without freezing local judgment.
Salesforce (Marketing 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. Subaru uses it as the system of record for case handling, with agents and team leads 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 The story is about operating change, not an unpublished percentage.
