The Convergence of IoT, AI, and Cloud in CRM: Real-Time Insights and Proactive Engagement Using Salesforce Platforms

Madhura G K

Abstract


The convergence of Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing has transformed customer relationship management (CRM) into a real-time, predictive, and proactive ecosystem. Salesforce has pioneered this transformation through its integration of Data Cloud, Einstein AI, and IoT-enabled insights. This paper explores how Salesforce unifies IoT, AI, and cloud to deliver real-time customer insights and enable proactive engagement across industries. Drawing on Veeravalli’s works (2022–2025) and complementary scholarly contributions, the study highlight the architectural enablers of this convergence, including asynchronous processing, GraphQL APIs, and hybrid security frameworks.

Findings demonstrate that Salesforce CRM transcends its traditional role as a system of record, evolving into a system of intelligence that contextualizes IoT data, activates AI-driven predictions, and scales seamlessly on cloud infrastructure. The study concludes that this convergence provides enterprises with a blueprint for intelligent, adaptive CRM systems, while also identifying challenges around governance, ethical AI, and domain-specific customization.
