A Salesforce alternative built around how you sell.
Salesforce can be shaped to almost any process, usually with admins, developers and add-on licenses. When the CRM has become a platform you maintain, a system built around how you sell and deliver can be simpler.
Signs you've outgrown Salesforce
- Sales and operations work in different systems, joined by exports.
- Paid add-ons fill gaps in the core product.
- Only an admin or partner can change a workflow.
- Seats are paid for by people who barely use them.
Salesforce compared with a system you own
| Salesforce | thinkbridge | |
|---|---|---|
| How it fits | Shaped with configuration, admins and add-on licenses | Built around how you sell, deliver and bill |
| Who owns it | You license it per seat | You own the code, the data model and the business logic |
| Connected to operations | Through integrations and exports | Sales, delivery and finance share one data model |
| After go-live | Changes need an admin or a partner | Managed care keeps improving it; low-risk changes ship to a beta you approve |

Questions about moving off Salesforce
Can the CRM connect to our ERP and billing?
Yes. That's usually the point: one system where sales, delivery and finance share the same data.
Can we migrate our Salesforce data?
Yes. thinkbridge maps and migrates the Salesforce data the new system needs, and your own team validates it before cutover.
Can we keep Salesforce and fix the gaps instead?
Yes. thinkbridge can build the pieces around your CRM and connect them.
