Salesforce is a powerful platform. But for many growing businesses, it's become more complex and more expensive than it needs to be. We help companies make the switch to monday.com — preserving every contact, every deal, and every workflow that matters.
The Problem
These are the patterns we see in every conversation with teams evaluating the move from Salesforce.
Salesforce offers extraordinary depth — but most growing businesses use a small fraction of it. Many teams find themselves paying enterprise-tier pricing for features that sit untouched, while basic workflow changes still require specialist help.
Adding a field, adjusting a report, tweaking an automation — in many CRM setups, these tasks require a dedicated admin or external consultant. Monday.com’s no-code builder puts that control directly in your team’s hands.
When a CRM is difficult to navigate, teams find workarounds — spreadsheets, notes apps, memory. The result is incomplete data and unreliable reporting. Monday.com’s visual, intuitive interface drives the kind of daily usage that makes your data trustworthy.
Years of customisation, integrations, and data can make switching feel impossible. That’s exactly the problem we solve. We’ve migrated businesses with hundreds of custom processes — safely, completely, and on schedule.
One of our clients replaced their Salesforce setup with monday.com and now saves several tens of thousands of dollars annually — with a fully functioning system their team built confidence in within weeks, not months.

Migration Scope
We don't just dump data into a new system. We transfer, restructure, and rebuild — so your new setup is better than what you had.
Our Process
Six clear stages from first conversation to full adoption.
30 minutes
We review your Salesforce setup — objects, automations, integrations, data volume. You leave with a clear understanding of what migration involves and a ballpark timeline.
3–5 days
We design your monday.com board structure, map every Salesforce field to its monday.com equivalent, and plan automation rebuilds. You approve before we proceed.
2–5 days
Using AI-powered tools, we deduplicate, standardise, and validate your Salesforce data. Bad data stays behind. Good data gets migrated cleanly.
3–7 days
We migrate in stages — starting with a test batch for your review. Once validated, we migrate the full dataset. No big-bang risks. No downtime.
3–7 days
We rebuild your workflows, connect your tools, and configure dashboards. Everything is tested end-to-end before your team touches it.
2–4 weeks support
Role-specific training for your team, recorded walkthroughs for future hires, and ongoing support post-launch to ensure smooth adoption.
We believe in giving you the full picture. There are scenarios where Salesforce may still be the better fit:
Highly complex enterprise environments
Organisations with hundreds of custom objects, deep Apex code, and complex multi-org architectures may need Salesforce’s depth.
Heavily regulated industries with specific compliance
Certain industry-specific compliance certifications (e.g., FedRAMP, specific healthcare mandates) may be available only through Salesforce.
Deep AppExchange dependency
If your business relies on niche AppExchange packages with no equivalent, the switching cost may outweigh the benefit.
Very large sales teams (500+)
At true enterprise scale with complex territory management and CPQ requirements, Salesforce’s mature tooling can be hard to replicate.
For the vast majority of small and mid-sized businesses, monday.com delivers the same outcomes with dramatically less cost and complexity. Not sure which side you fall on? That’s what the free assessment is for.
