Salesforce Einstein Analytics takes predictions and forecasting to the next level by refining its recommendations based on new data. This type of AI learning allows the application to progressively make itself more intelligent and thus more proactive.

It then analyzes these sets of data to identify complex, meaningful patterns.

The platform creates a single pane of view for the entire organization to track customer, business, and platform metrics. Having all customer data in one place, accessible by everyone, helps further increase efficiency. Using the data, the platform builds real-time customer journey insights, real-time funnels, and platform and sales metrics.
