The undisputed CRM giant. An extremely powerful ecosystem that adapts to any process as a relational database, bought at high implementation costs and lock-in effects.

What is Salesforce?

The CRM giant. An extremely powerful ecosystem as a relational database, bought at high cost and lock-in. We integrate it cleanly into your data architecture and draw a clear boundary to the alternatives.

When it fits, and when it doesn't

A fit when:

  • a flexible enterprise CRM is the base
  • complex sales processes need modelling
  • the ecosystem is already chosen

Less so when:

  • a lean B2B CRM is enough (then HubSpot)
  • implementation costs exceed the benefit
  • no admin team maintains the system

What Datascale builds with Salesforce

We decide the architecture, then build:

  • connecting Salesforce to the warehouse
  • clean data models from CRM objects
  • syncing audiences via reverse-ETL (Hightouch)
  • attributing revenue to marketing
  • monitoring data quality

The full picture lives in the matching service. We connect Salesforce cleanly to your data architecture where it's the best fit for your case, not as an end in itself. Related: Audit Sprint.

No, we are not a Salesforce consultancy. We integrate Salesforce into your data architecture: connection to the warehouse, clean models, revenue attribution, and activation via reverse-ETL.

Salesforce is extremely flexible and powerful but expensive and complex. HubSpot is faster to start and simpler. The choice depends on process complexity and team, not the brand.

Via native connectors (Fivetran, Airbyte) or the Salesforce API we load CRM objects into BigQuery or Snowflake, model them with dbt, and connect revenue to marketing.

Delivery

We set it up. Or tell you that you do not need it.

A tool switch without a concept only moves the problem. The Audit Sprint tells you whether it would gain you anything.
