Why migrate from Salesforce to a custom system
Per-user cost that scales poorly
Salesforce charges per active user. When your team grows from 20 to 100 people, your monthly bill multiplies by 5x. A custom system has fixed upfront + maintenance cost regardless of user count.
Workflows that don’t fit standard SaaS
Salesforce covers the generic 80% well. If your business has specific processes (regulated vertical, non-standard model, legacy integrations), deforming Salesforce via custom configuration costs more than building your own.
Lock-in that limits future decisions
Migrating away from Salesforce is painful: exportable data but lost process logic, integrations to rebuild, team retraining. With a custom system, your code is yours from day 1.
Speed of adaptation to business changes
Changing a workflow in Salesforce typically requires external consultant or advanced admin. In a custom system with 2-week sprints, changes ship in the next sprint.
How we migrate from Salesforce
- Usage audit: what you actually use vs what you pay for. Typically companies use 30-50% of paid functionality.
- Custom system design: workshops with your team to map real processes. UX/UI specific to your vertical.
- Data migration: contacts, opportunities, history, integrations from Salesforce with cleanup and validation.
- Parallel transition: 4-6 weeks of new system in pre-production while old runs. Champion users test, we adjust, full training, switchover.
Pricing
Equivalent custom system: 25,000-45,000 EUR initial development + 1,000-1,800 EUR/month maintenance. Typical ROI: 12-24 months vs accumulated Salesforce licenses.
