Case Study: Cargill achieves rapid sandbox delivery and robust Salesforce data protection with OwnBackup

Cargill’s Food Ingredients and Bio-Industrial Division ramps its growth with confidence, knowing its data is always secure

Cargill’s Food Ingredients and Bio-Industrial Division, part of the global agribusiness Cargill, set out to unify customer data on a common Salesforce platform to deliver a Customer 360. That transformation introduced global complexity—critical CPQ quoting data for commodity traders, cumbersome weekly backups, and hard-to-track sandbox activity across hundreds of users—making data protection and availability essential to preserve quote integrity and support business decisions.

Cargill deployed OwnBackup (installed in 30 minutes) to provide automated backups, metadata/data compare tools, and fast sandbox seeding. As a result, sandboxes can be provisioned within an hour, teams can quickly trace and restore changes, multiple large initiatives run concurrently with confidence, and the company gains faster time-to-value, reduced risk of data downtime, and stronger alignment between IT and the business.
