Salesforce Industries Credentials Now Available on Trailhead

We’re thrilled to expand the Salesforce Credentials program to now include three new Salesforce Industries credentials. Wendy Hassan Follow Mar 31 · 4 min read

Have you heard that electric buzz in the air? That’s the sound of us supercharging Salesforce with new purpose-built apps we call Salesforce Industries.

Introducing Salesforce Industries

Imagine you’re an energy retailer looking to transform the way you work with your customers. You need your business to thrive in the digital age and provide a digital-first, personalized customer experience.

But the way you do business as an energy retailer is very different from the way a bank or an insurance company does business, for example. You want all the goodness of Salesforce, but you want it to speak the language of your industry right out of the box. Makes sense, right?

That’s where Salesforce Industries comes in. Our industry solutions empower companies to digitally transform faster than ever before by providing applications that are tailored to their unique industry. In addition to the applications themselves, you’ll also get new tooling that allows you to build personalized, guided experiences for your customers.

And where there’s new tooling, there are new certifications to help you skill up.

Say hello to Salesforce Industries credentials

With more than 30 role-based certifications and 18 domain-based superbadges, we’re thrilled to expand the Salesforce Credentials program to now include three new Salesforce Industries credentials.

These credentials prove you have the skills needed to design and implement Salesforce Industries solutions in two specific domains: OmniStudio and Industries CPQ.

The Salesforce Certified OmniStudio Consultant credential is for Trailblazers who have experience consulting on building cloud applications using OmniStudio tools in a customer-facing role.
