Henry Schein Australia, a dental and medical supply distributor, deployed Salesforce Agentforce for customer chats, most of which were order questions. Its implementation partner reports Agentforce now handles 70% of incoming enquiries.

Reported outcomes

enquiries handled by AI
70%
Source [1] · self-reported

Outcomes are reported exactly as stated by the source; we have not independently audited them.

How it works

  1. Agentforce answers "Where's my order?" and order-change chats.
  2. Complex interactions handed to human agents.

Risks & compliance

  • Order and pricing accuracy for regulated healthcare products
  • Partner-published results; not independently audited

Healthcare cases cover operational and commercial workflows. Nothing here is medical advice or a claim about a device's or drug's efficacy.

Casefile: MedTech angle

Order-status agents for distributors mirror what device companies field from hospitals and ASCs.
