Case studies: companies that left Salesforce

What they paid every year. What they paid once.

Five real projects in different sectors, unnamed for confidentiality. The same pattern: a lot of Salesforce to use a small part of it.

Electrical supplies distribution

85 users on Sales Cloud Enterprise and CPQ, integrated with SAP Business One

The situation
Three years on Salesforce. Reps still built quotes in Excel because CPQ was slow and nobody trusted the pricing rules. Every supplier price change meant a ticket to the partner.
What they used it for
Accounts, contacts and opportunities. Quotes in CPQ. Orders to SAP. Not much else.
How we did it
A quote configurator with their price lists and discounts by product family, reading stock and prices from SAP in real time. We migrated the full opportunity history.

Business school

22 users on Sales Cloud Enterprise and Account Engagement

The situation
They paid for Account Engagement to send emails they were already sending with another tool. Admissions used Salesforce for little more than moving leads from stage to stage.
What they used it for
Leads by program, admissions pipeline, interviews and enrollment.
How we did it
A pipeline by program and intake, website forms straight into the CRM and a link to their mailing tool. Account Engagement, gone.

B2B software

34 users on Sales Cloud Enterprise with the Einstein add-on

The situation
They had bought Einstein add-ons nobody ever switched on. Whoever acted as admin spent half their time fixing Flows.
What they used it for
New business and renewals pipeline. Product usage on the customer record. Slack alerts.
How we did it
A customer record with product usage, MRR and Stripe invoices on a single screen. Renewals that create themselves as opportunities. Alerts to Slack.

Real estate developer

18 users on Sales Cloud Unlimited and an Experience Cloud portal

The situation
They were sold Unlimited for the support and the sandbox. They paid over €300 per user per month to manage a handful of developments and an agency portal almost nobody opened.
What they used it for
Developments, units and reservations. Viewings. A portal where agencies registered their clients.
How we did it
Unit inventory by development with live status, reservations with deposit and a simple agency portal with link access.

Installation and maintenance

25 users on Service Cloud Enterprise and 60 technicians on Field Service

The situation
Technicians filled in work orders on paper because they found the app slow. The office typed them into Salesforce the next day, by hand.
What they used it for
Maintenance contracts, service calls, technician scheduling and work orders.
How we did it
A mobile app that works with no signal, with customer signature and photos. A route planner for the office. Work orders that reach the ERP ready to invoice the same day.
