The Challenge
Providing Better, On-Demand Employee Support During and After the Transition to Salesforce Lightning and Service Cloud
Grifols implemented Salesforce Lightning and Service Cloud to its sales and marketing teams to boost productivity, optimize operations, offer better customer experiences, and build applications faster. The company searched for a solution that would provide an easy transition to Salesforce Lightning.
Its goal was to provide users with a simple way to quickly find answers in the new interface, without experiencing downtime. Grifols also needed to train new employees who joined the company at different times, often requiring them to conduct live training classes months after new employees were hired.
Grifols searched for a multi-purpose solution to help onboard new hires, support existing employees, and support a broad range of business operations.
Grifols core business problems included:
- Insufficient adoption of Salesforce applications
- Outdated employee onboarding and training for new and existing applications and digital workflows.
- A high number of internal support queries on Salesforce and long training times.
- Manual creation of help documentation.
- Lack of live or interactive training.
- Replace outdated forms of help documentation, which previously included emailing help and support documents to employees.
The Solution
Whatfix's In-App Guidance, Self-Help, and Analytics Platform
The company partnered with Whatfix to address its training challenges with internal applications that evolved with its business needs. It’s original goals of using Whatfix’s digital adoption platform (DAP) were:
- Simplify the transition to Salesforce Lightning and Service Cloud.
- Revamp all documentation processes with interactive, in-app flows and guidance.
- Provide an easier path for users to find relevant help and support documentation.
- Have no-code options to create walkthroughs, as well as PDFs and videos, of all documentation.
- Collect more accurate and comprehensive data on core business performance, workflow compliance, and application adoption.
- Increase user engagement and generate better insights into business operations.
Grifols quickly recognized the positive impact of integrating Whatfix with the training process as employees used Whatfix features to learn Sales Lightning and other company applications at an accelerated pace. Employees immediately incorporated their knowledge into performing their jobs.
With 7 months of implementing Whatfix, Grifols saved over 400 hours previously spent on training and support-related issues.
With Whatfix, Grifols:
- Increased Salesforce Lightning and Service Cloud adoption rates.
- Drove faster new user onboarding to get new employees productive faster.

- Reduced Salesforce-related support queries with Self-Help.
- Decreased time spent creating user help, support, and training documentation.
- Minimized time required to respond to help tickets.

- Simplified users’ ability to find documentation.
