Flying High With AI: How Agentforce is Revolutionizing the Aviation Industry for a Seamless Digital Sky

Agentforce is Salesforce’s next-gen AI agent platform, designed to revolutionize airline operations by acting as a digital co-pilot for agents. As an example of advanced agentic systems powered by artificial intelligence, Agentforce enables autonomous, dynamic decision-making and real-time action within complex operational environments. The platform integrates seamlessly with AI, CRM, and automation tools to streamline workflows, enhance customer service, and improve operational efficiency.

Agentforce  leverages the Einstein Trust Layer to ensure secure, compliant, and trustworthy AI-driven interactions. The emergence of ai agents like Agentforce has been made possible by several critical factors, including advanced language models, improved APIs, and maturing digital infrastructures. These advancements allow AI agents to independently perform complex tasks, make decisions, and adapt to unpredictable workflows, transforming both business processes and passenger experiences.

Introduction

In an industry where time, precision and safety are non-negotiable, aviation is under pressure to innovate – fast. From supply chain complexity to changing customer expectations, traditional systems just don’t deliver real-time seamless solutions. Enter Agentforce : Salesforce’s next-gen AI agent platform that goes beyond chatbots and copilots to autonomous, proactive agents. Built on AI, CRM, data and workflow automation, Agentforce brings intelligent assistance to every cockpit, command center and customer interaction point.

Agentforce isn’t just smart – it’s transformative. Built on the Einstein Trust Layer, it ensures real-time data reasoning and adapts to your business. Whether you’re managing aircraft parts, processing orders or delivering top-tier customer communication, Agentforce gives aviation businesses a digital co-pilot for operations at scale.

Smarter Part Search and Inventory Management

In aviation every minute counts – especially when sourcing critical parts. Traditional inventory systems rely on rigid interfaces and manual filters causing delays and inefficiencies.

Agentforce changes the game. Using natural language prompts users can simply ask,

“Find available hydraulic pumps with serviceable condition in Miami, lead time under 48 hours”—and get instant results, filtered by condition codes, locations, lead times or supplier availability.

Agentforce can process large volumes of inventory data in real time, ensuring up-to-date and comprehensive search results.

This empowers maintenance crews, procurement teams and OEMs to:

• Search inventory faster

• Reduce aircraft on ground (AOG) time

• Improve parts traceability across systems with the ability to analyze and act on complex inventory information autonomously

By streamlining this critical task Agentforce speeds up turnarounds and reduces downtime – gets aircraft back in the air faster.

Automated Sales Order Processing and Data Access

Sales and ops teams in aviation spend hours toggling between ERP systems, CRMs and spreadsheets just to answer simple questions:

“Has order #258472 been shipped?” “What’s the ETA on the landing gear kit for Customer X?”

Agentforce  eliminates this friction. Integrated with Salesforce Sales Cloud it retrieves and surfaces real-time sales order data instantly – answers are just a prompt away. AI tools integrated with Salesforce, such as Service Cloud and Data Cloud, enable Agentforce to handle tasks like sales order processing efficiently.

Benefits include:

• Unified transaction visibility

• Unified data access with Data Cloud

• Less manual look-up time

• Streamlined sales workflowsWith Agentforce your teams don’t just find data – they act on it faster – for smarter decisions and tighter service-level commitments.

  

Enhanced Customer Communication at Scale

Keeping customers informed post-purchase can be a time consuming process – especially with high value transactions or regulatory requirements in aviation. Agentforce is transforming airline customer service by automating communication, improving resolution times, and enabling faster, more efficient support for both customers and staff.

Agentforce automates this process by:

• Triggering personalized emails based on recent purchases or order updates to serve customers efficiently, including handling routine queries

• Customizing communications by customer type, aircraft model or part category to enhance passenger experiences

• Ensuring brand consistent messages, sent at the right time, every time

For example:

“Hi Alex, your brake assembly kit has shipped and is expected to arrive on Thursday. Let us know if you’d like to schedule an installation.”

These intelligent communications build trust, boost satisfaction and reduce the load on account managers – turn updates into opportunities for deeper engagement.

Seamless E-Commerce Integration for Aviation OEMs

As more aviation OEMs and MRO providers move to digital commerce, having a fully integrated, automated store is a strategic priority. Agentforce, as a tool that streamlines digital commerce for aviation OEMs, combined with Salesforce Commerce Cloud, delivers exactly that.

Capabilities include:

• Setting up automated part storefronts, searchable by aircraft type, part number or certification

• Tying e-commerce actions to ERP and inventory management tools in real time

• Enabling AI-driven cross-sells and restock recommendations

• Automating multiple steps in the e-commerce process, from product selection to checkout, reducing manual intervention and delays

• Using virtual assistants to support customers during their online shopping experience, handling routine inquiries and providing personalized assistance

This means fewer missed sales, faster ordering and a smoother customer journey from inquiry to checkout. Your digital storefront becomes a 24/7 intelligent sales engine for aviation.
