Discover why we partnered with Gearset to keep your Salesforce data bulletproof, with real-world results. 

Did you know that 1 out of every 4 backup or disaster recovery strategies fail when they’re need the most? One rogue script, one accidental deletion, or one botched deployment, and critical data is gone. What’s worse, most businesses don’t even realize their backups are inadequate until they need them. 

That’s where Gearset comes in. It’s the automated safety net your Salesforce environment needs. Discover why we’ve partnered with Gearset to protect your most sensitive data.

What is Gearset?

    How to benefit from Gearset 

    Gearset is for any business that relies on Salesforce to run smoothly. Here’s how companies across different sectors are using it: 

    • Retail and e-commerce: keeping customer data safe

    Retailers rely on Salesforce to manage customer relationships, order histories, and loyalty programs. Losing this data can mean lost sales and frustrated customers. Gearset ensures every transaction and customer interaction is backed up and easily recoverable. 

    • Financial services: ensuring regulatory compliance 

    Banks and insurance companies deal with strict regulations regarding data security and retention. Gearset provides automated backups, detailed change tracking, and secure storage to keep financial institutions compliant without manual effort. 

    • Healthcare: protecting patient information 

    Hospitals and clinics use Salesforce for patient records, appointment scheduling, and billing. A single data loss event could compromise sensitive health information. Gearset guarantees secure, encrypted backups that healthcare providers can trust. 

    • Telecommunications: managing large-scale data operations 

    For telecom providers like QMC Telecom, managing massive amounts of customer and infrastructure data is critical. Gearset helps centralize and protect this data, ensuring smooth operations even in fast-moving, high-volume environments. 

    How QMC Telecom took control with Gearset 

    QMC Telecom is a multinational company specializing in wireless telecom infrastructure across Latin America. Operating in five countries – Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Peru – QMC provides critical connectivity solutions to industries like healthcare, hospitality, education, and aviation. 

    Despite its size, QMC Telecom was facing fragmented, manual processes that increased the risk of data loss and made rapid recovery nearly impossible. They were vulnerable to data loss from accidental deletions or sync errors, had slow recovery times, jeopardizing business operations, and faced lack of visibility, making compliance and auditing a challenge. 

    That’s when we – and Gearset – stepped in: 

    • 100% automated backups. Gone were the days of manual exports, outdated backups, and data inconsistencies. The automated backup system ensured that QMC’s critical information was always up-to-date and recoverable.

    • Instant recovery with one-click rollback. Human error? System glitch? Accidental deletion? No problem. Gearset’s rollback feature allowed QMC’s team to restore lost or corrupted data in seconds. What once took hours – or even days – was now resolved instantly.

    • Zero-downtime deployments. Pushing updates to Salesforce no longer felt like playing Russian roulette. Gearset enabled a structured deployment process where changes could be tested, reviewed, and deployed without affecting business operations.

    • Streamlined compliance & audit readiness. Every single change in the system was tracked, logged, and reportable. This simplified internal compliance requirements and prepared QMC Telecom for any external audits with a well-documented and easily accessible history of data changes.
