Technology with a Purpose: Inetum and Fundación “la Caixa” Transform Social Communication with Salesforce CRM
In the digital age, technology not only drives business efficiency but also serves as a catalyst for changing lives and creating real social impact. This is the case with Fundación “la Caixa”, Spain’s leading private foundation and one of the world’s most significant in terms of assets and social impact, which decided to take a decisive step toward digital transformation to improve the management of its more than 80 social programs. To achieve this, it partnered with Inetum as a strategic partner in the implementation and evolution of its Salesforce CRM ecosystem.
CHALLENGES
Behind every piece of data lies a story. Fundación “la Caixa” is committed to improving people’s quality of life; therefore, historically, it has focused on promoting programs with the greatest transformative impact. To carry these out, it uses its own innovative methodologies with in-house management, which has resulted in separate systems and the inability to view audiences holistically.
The main challenges were clear: to achieve a 360° view of target audiences to improve communication with them and, consequently, the relationship with them. We sought to optimize and enhance omnichannel communication to increase interaction and loyalty, and to ensure a scalable and continuously evolving platform capable of adapting to future needs.
SOLUTION
From the very beginning, Inetum supported the Foundation in this project, which promotes a comprehensive view of its audiences. Working closely with the team, we designed the strategy to be followed, and Inetum implemented a unified Salesforce ecosystem that helped transform the way the Foundation communicates with its audiences. The solution included Sales Cloud and Service Cloud to centralize data and cases, offering more efficient management and a complete view of each applicant; Marketing Cloud to orchestrate personalized campaigns and journeys; Community Cloud to optimize internal communication and collaboration between teams; and custom developments on Heroku along with integrations with corporate systems, ensuring security, data governance, and end-to-end efficiency.
Beyond the technology, Inetum contributed expertise in complex, multi-program ecosystems, applying agile methodologies to ensure flexibility and speed in delivering value. The project was developed with a long-term partnership approach, covering not only the initial implementation but also ongoing maintenance and corrective updates, ensuring continuous adaptation to the Foundation’s needs.
As Estefanía Cortés, Customer Experience Manager at Fundación “la Caixa”, notes: ‘The biggest challenge was not just technical, but cultural change. Having a partner like Inetum, which translates complexity into understandable solutions, has been fundamental.’
IMPACT
The project results are compelling: 2.8 million users, over 10 million interactions, significant improvement in decision-making thanks to a strategic vision, personalized and omnichannel experiences that increase engagement and loyalty (with 358,224 cases resolved), and a scalable platform ready to incorporate new capabilities such as predictive analytics and artificial intelligence.
LESSONS LEARNED
This case demonstrates that digital transformation is not only technological but also cultural. Close collaboration between teams, clear communication, and strategic alignment were key factors in its success. Looking ahead, Inetum and Fundación ‘la Caixa’ will continue working together to expand omnichannel capabilities, incorporate artificial intelligence, and enhance personalization, consolidating a platform that evolves in step with social needs.
The Fundación “la Caixa” project is an inspiring example of how technology, when implemented with vision and expert guidance, can amplify social impact. At Inetum, we believe that innovation is meaningless unless it helps improve people’s lives. This case study underscores our commitment: to drive digital transformation to create a more connected, efficient, and humane future.
