Agentforce CRM vs. Legacy Systems: Why AI-Powered CRM Is the Future of Sales and Support

If your team still relies on legacy CRM systems for managing customer relationships, chances are, they’re struggling with slow processes, disconnected channels, and repetitive manual tasks. What worked 10 years ago simply isn’t enough in 2025. That’s why more companies are switching to Agentforce AI CRM software—an advanced solution designed to deliver AI-powered sales automation and AI-driven customer service tools that legacy systems simply can’t match.

Here’s the reality: manual lead scoring and traditional support ticketing slow down business. Agentforce CRM services, powered by Salesforce integration services, eliminate these outdated methods. With intelligent virtual assistants, automated sales workflows, and predictive customer behavior analysis, sales teams can close deals faster, and support agents can resolve issues in real time.

Unlike legacy platforms, Agentforce AI CRM software doesn’t just store data—it actively learns from it. For example, retail businesses can use Salesforce Health Cloud services for customer insights, while finance companies benefit from predictive lead scoring automation built into AI CRM software. Even industries like healthcare and manufacturing now rely on automation for customer service across multiple channels to handle inquiries via chat, email, voice, and social platforms.

The shift is simple: businesses today demand faster service, personalized sales journeys, and smarter systems. GetOnCRM’s Agentforce CRM services help companies make that shift, combining Salesforce Service Cloud services with AI-powered CRM tools that are scalable and future-ready.

If your sales and support teams continue to rely on manual processes and fragmented platforms, it's time to upgrade.

Hello, G'day or こんにちは

We have all witnessed the surge of automated online support engines over the past decade, which in a short period of time have progressed from a manual to an automated affair, always with the intended goal of increased convenience. Before the era of smart agents as we know it today, initially these engines started as semi-automated processes through 'bots', however, due to its repeditive nature and flowchart-like responses, the user-base started demanding smarter alternatives. Case in point, you may recall when automation first came on the scene it was in the form of friendly robot avatars which helped us do remedial tasks such as ordering pizza. The main benefit of these 1.0 versions of 'A.I.' was in the speed-of-delivery of the replies but this was based on determined responses which were programmed into the bot based on archived data from past customer requests rather than true Artificial Intelligence based on large language models (LLM's). From these early iterations of smart-bots came the obvious need for more granular (and human-like) responses as while bots were rapid in speed, the answers were limited based on company-curated data and not large swaths of public (and consumer) data which feed today's AI engines. The trade-off from programmatic-answers to factual and detailed responses ushered in the move to generative tools such as ChatGPT, Groq and the Salesforce AI engine AgentForce. Similar to how the latest AI systems provide fast and concise answers using LLM's, AgentForce provisions responses based on data that is both publicly available as well as data you feed it for custom, purpose-specific responses. For the developer or admin, AgentForce already provides Salesforce-specific queries on any SFDC subject matter such as Flows and debugging Apex, but going further for customer interactions, the proprietor can give their clients a tailored support experience. Supplementing the richness of your customized AI portal, AgentForce can also converse in a variety of languages such as French, German, Italian, Japanese and is soon expected to support over 40 languages. But the tool doesn't stop there… it also has the ability to converse in a specific flavor or dialect via the specified Language Locale (i.e. Australian, UK or US for English or Canadian or France en français).

Taking this further, the 'Tone' option gives your enterprise an added element of inflection by enabling your autonomous agent to communicate in a friendly (or casual) demeanor, or when a linguistically proper emphasis is required, the 'formal' option can be used. Does your business have a further need to refine the Locale and Tone with a made-to-order resonance? Bolt-on applications to Salesforce such as AirCall and JustCall gives further customization options for your voice (CTI) customers by introducing sentiment to your language such as sincerity, empathy or candidness. Where bots used to converse by rigid programmability, advancements in Natural Language processing gives your customer the option to communicate on their terms, and on their choice of platform, be it voice, chat or email. Taking this concept further, all of this valuable AI data can also be used in your everyday applications via the new AgentForce 2dx tool, where you can call an action within internal workflows, or enable a response from a complex orchestration or process within your other systems via API or Flow. In a short period of time, the automated service landscape has evolved to almost human-like standards, and while there are many advancements still to come (as it's only been 6 months since AgentForce was released for General Availability), investing your team's time to realize the potential for your enterprise can pay dividends if adopted properly. Should your firm have even one use-case that qualifies, taking advantage of this early can give you an edge over your competition (which if they are not currently in 'beta testing' mode, are most likely already using it).

Salesforce Agentforce vs Traditional Customer Service: A Comparative Analysis

Customer service is evolving rapidly, and traditional methods like call-center message spamming, hinder business progress. AI has become a dominant force in the customer service sector, providing numerous features, benefits, and opportunities for both companies and customers. 

AI-powered cloud solutions, like Salesforce Agentforce, are leading this change. As organizations strive to enhance customer satisfaction, streamline operations, and reduce costs, choosing an exemplary customer service solution is essential.

Infosprint Technologies, a digital transformation company, and Salesforce's official partner, aims to deliver Salesforce Agentforce, an impressive AI-powered cloud solution. Let’s explore the highlights of salesforce, its features, benefits, and impact on companies and customer experience in this blog.

The Changing Landscape of Customer Service

Traditional customer service primarily relies on human agents to engage with customers. However, this approach has several drawbacks, including delayed response times, operators' lack of product or service expertise, and slow ticket resolutions. In contrast, modern customer service is evolving and revolutionizing the industry through artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

Chatbots facilitate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, now available 24/7 to assist customers with their issues. This leads to improved customer relations and higher returns on investment (ROIs) for companies. As AI-powered tools continue to rise, organizations increasingly adopt intelligent automation, self-service solutions, and predictive customer support to address these challenges.

What is Salesforce Agentforce?

Salesforce Agentforce is a cloud-based, AI-powered customer service system that aims to increase agent productivity, automate repetitive operations, and provide seamless omnichannel assistance. It combines advanced artificial intelligence capabilities with CRM data to provide proactive and tailored customer support experiences.

AI-powered Assistance: Uses Einstein AI to automate common queries and guide agents with intelligent recommendations.

Omnichannel Support: Enables customers to connect via phone, chat, email, social media, and self-service portals.

24/7 Availability: AI-powered chatbots and automation ensure customers receive support anytime, reducing wait times.

Seamless CRM Integration: Salesforce Agentforce integrates directly with CRM, offering a 360-degree perspective on client interactions.

Automated Workflows: Reduces manual tasks by automating case routing, ticketing, and escalation processes.

Scalable and Cost-Effective: Being cloud-based, businesses can scale operations effortlessly without significant infrastructure costs.

How Salesforce Agentforce Transforms Customer Services

Salesforce Agentforce is an advanced AI platform transforming customer service by enabling businesses to create and deploy autonomous AI agents. These agents can perform various tasks, from answering customer inquiries to resolving complex issues, which allows human agents to concentrate on more nuanced or empathetic interactions. Here’s how Agentforce enhances customer service:

Faster Resolutions, Smarter Workflows: AI-Powered Efficiency in Agentforce

Salesforce Agentforce uses Einstein AI to immediately address repetitious requests, decreasing the workload for human agents. AI chatbots answer common inquiries, allowing operators to focus on more complicated client concerns, resulting in increased efficiency and faster resolution times.

AI-Powered Chatbots

AI provides round-the-clock assistance to customers with questions, FAQs, order tracking, and account-related queries without human intervention.

Its natural language processing enables it to understand customer questions through human understanding and answers, increasing customer satisfaction.

In case complex issues arise, chatbot intelligence transfers conversations to human agents. This seamless transfer retains and provides contextual insight.

Intelligent Workload Distribution

Einstein AI prioritizes customer cases based on urgency, complexity, and sentiment, allowing humans to manage them orderly. This reduces confusion and enables a focus on individual tasks.

It also suggests related articles to their agents and previously asked FAQs by customers to understand their problems accurately and enable swift problem-solving.

Salesforce automation handles repetitive tasks, allowing agents to focus on customer interactions.

Boosting Agent Efficiency: How Salesforce Agentforce Enhances Productivity?

Agentforce provides customer support personnel with AI-driven insights, real-time ideas, and automated workflows to save manual labor and increase efficiency. Agents have full access to the customer's history, allowing for context-aware interactions. 

AI-Driven Insights For Smarter Decision-Making

AI analyzes customers' emotions based on chat or call transcripts, helping agents respond to customers with the same emotions.

Based on past interactions, AI suggests relevant solutions before agents troubleshoot the case, reducing the time needed to resolve the tickets.

It provides agents with step-by-step guidance to help them resolve customer queries.

Context-Aware Interactions With Complete Customer History

Agents can instantly access customer details like past interactions and purchase history, thus eliminating the need for customers to repeat their details.

AI automation categories the case's urgency, thus ensuring faster routing to the right representatives.

Whether the customer switches from one channel to another, the customer context is recorded in a log where the customer does not need to retype the context again, allowing agents to provide context-aware support.

Agentforce: Invest in Efficiency, Save on Costs

Traditional customer service necessitates large call centers, training, and infrastructure investments. Salesforce Agentforce is cloud-based, which reduces these expenditures while increasing efficiency. Businesses can scale in response to demand without making extra hardware investments.

Eliminating On-Premise And IT Infrastructure Costs

Companies can run virtual contact centers, saving money on office space, equipment, and utilities.

Salesforce handles upgrades, security, and maintenance, so businesses no longer require on-premise servers or specialized IT teams to manage system upkeep.

Instead of investing in various customer service technologies, Agentforce combines AI, CRM, omnichannel support, and automation on a single platform, lowering software costs.

AI-Driven Automation For Reduced Costs

AI-powered bots handle repeated inquiries such as order tracking, FAQs, and password resets, lowering the number of agents needed.

Automating tasks like ticket categorization, routing, and follow-ups reduces labor expenses while increasing productivity.

AI-driven knowledge bases and self-help options reduce inbound support requests, lowering call volumes and workforce requirements.

Enhanced Security & Compliance With Salesforce Agentforce

Salesforce Agentforce, with its built-in security measures, role-based access restrictions, and compliance adherence, outperforms traditional service models in data protection. It also complies with industry standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and SOC 2, guaranteeing the security of customer data.

Advanced Security Features For Data Protection

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, protecting client information from cyber threats.

Einstein AI continuously monitors anomalies, suspicious behaviors, and potential security concerns, allowing for proactive risk reduction.

Salesforce uses MFA to prevent unauthorized logins, allowing only validated users to access customer data.

Compliance With Industry Regulation Standards

Ensures customer data privacy rights are respected, including data access, rectification, and deletion requests.

It helps healthcare organizations manage protected health information (PHI) safely.

Agentforce is certified to meet stringent security, availability, and confidentiality criteria critical for financial and commercial enterprises.

Connect Anywhere: Omnichannel Solutions

Unlike older solutions, Salesforce Agentforce offers a seamless omnichannel experience. It allows customers to transition between chat, email, social media, and phone without losing context, guaranteeing constant service across all communication channels.

Unified Customer Interactions Across Multiple Channels

Customers can initiate their query in live chat and change the interaction channel to social media, website form, email, etc., without repeating the issue or losing context.

AI-powered historical tracking enables it to provide personalized and contextual responses.

Regardless of the interaction channel, Salesforce Agentforce adheres to company service policies and maintains uniform responses, enhancing trust and reliability.

Enhanced Customer Satisfaction and Business Efficiency

Customers don't need to repair their concerns when changing channels.

AI-powered analytics give agents insights into customer behavior, enabling more personalized recommendations and proactive support.

Salesforce Agentforce is a unified platform that doesn't require agents to use multiple tools for customer service, improving efficiency and reducing costs.

Meeting Customer Demands in 2025

Customer expectations are shifting with faster, more personalized and efficient service experiences. The position of AI in customer service is a must have. Businesses that adopt AI-driven solutions, such as Salesforce Agentforce, gain a substantial competitive advantage by increasing productivity, lowering costs, and providing better customer experiences.

As AI technology advances, businesses must stay ahead by implementing intelligent automation, predictive analytics, and tailored service models. Salesforce Agentforce transforms customer support into more proactive, predictive, and personalized.

GetOnCRM’s Winning Formula at the 2025 Agentforce Hackathon

The focus at the 2025 Salesforce Agentforce Hackathon was on execution rather than just innovation. GetOnCRM’s Agentforce Hackathon solution stood out among the dozens of teams that built quickly and strategically because it not only delivered a brilliant idea but also a functional model that addressed actual internal workflow problems.

What was unique about GetOnCRM? It was clarity, not complexity.

Resolving the Issue No One Discusses

Slow internal support is a problem for the majority of enterprise teams. Ticket stall. Escalations are postponed. Valuable time slips away. GetOnCRM addressed the fundamental problem—internal service delays—and used intelligent Salesforce automation to resolve it rather than developing a new tracking tool.

Their remedy? A Slack-integrated support workflow created with Salesforce Flow Builder automation and connected through Salesforce Data Cloud integration. The agent could:

Quickly determine the urgency of the ticket

Pull background information from previous cases

Escalate to the appropriate channel in real time

You can accomplish this without ever leaving Slack.

This was not a theoretical demo—it was a functional prototype made for real enterprise support teams.

Integration in Real Time That Works

What made the solution even more impactful was its seamless connection to live enterprise data. With Salesforce Data Cloud, the agent worked off the latest information—not outdated snapshots—allowing it to make fast, accurate decisions without human intervention.

Thanks to agent memory and context awareness, the bot could deliver a personalized, intelligent support experience, reducing back-and-forth between staff.

The Tools That Powered the Win

GetOnCRM’s strategy was built on simplicity and real impact. These were the key ingredients:

Salesforce Agent Builder—the central control hub for the entire workflow

Slack-based Salesforce workflows—removing the need to juggle tools

Apex logic and Flow Builder—to automate smart, multi-step decisions

Cross-cloud Salesforce automation—linking operations, support, and collaboration platforms like Health Cloud, CPQ, and Revenue Cloud

Their approach resulted in a workflow that was not just smart but also scalable and enterprise-ready.

Built for Teams That Want to Move Faster

The goal wasn’t flashy tech—it was to remove friction from business processes. The hackathon confirmed what GetOnCRM’s Salesforce automation consulting services already strive for: real transformation using the right tools, fast.

This project wasn’t just a hackathon submission—it became a repeatable automation framework for intelligent support and operations.
