Why choose Salesforce?

1- Available to you at the time and place you want

Salesforce has become the world’s largest business ecosystem in the cloud. It allows companies of all types and sizes to connect with their customers from anywhere. At your fingertips, you have the latest innovations in mobile technology, sales, services, marketing, and analytics that will allow you to achieve your goals and propose more ambitious ones.

Salesforce cloud products or services that classify as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) include Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, and Marketing Cloud. It also provides Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), which includes the platforms used by developers. For example, the Lightning Platform and Heroku.

2- Secure information

One of the most important aspects of companies that use CRM is data security; this has been one of the strengths of Salesforce since its inception. It gathers all the customer information into a single database, where it is organized and accessible to everyone according to the roles and permissions associated with each user.
Additionally, it makes the http://trust.salesforce.com website available to you so that you can see more information about its performance and how it secures your data. It also shows the maintenance operations that it plans to perform that could affect your access to the system. This makes Salesforce a very reliable and secure platform.

3- AppExchange

Another of the innovative ideas for which Salesforce has become a benchmark in the industry worldwide is the AppExchange. Here you will find everything you need to solve any problem your company has. Developers can create applications that suit your requirements. If you need an application for marketing, accounting, sales, and others, then you will be able to find it on the AppExchange.

4- Business intelligence

Salesforce allows you to create individual reports to view accounts, opportunities, sales flow, activities carried out, product sales, completed tasks, and others. You need a tool that, in addition to being able to collect and store large amounts of information, allows you to extract and analyze this information to present clear and understandable conclusions that can be used to make decisions. You will have all this with Salesforce. Remember that data is only valuable if you have the ability to turn it into information that generates knowledge.

5- Flexibility

It has a high degree of adaptation. This means that Salesforce can adapt based on your needs and interests and continue to do so as often as necessary. It is not restricted like a straitjacket in which it can only be used for a single purpose, rather it is a much more flexible platform than much of the software that you can find on the market today.

6- Simplicity

Another of the great advantages of the Salesforce platform is its simplicity and ability to be handled without many difficulties. Working with Salesforce does not require advanced computer skills to make the necessary changes to the platform. Many functions available in Salesforce can be performed without the need to write a single line of code, saving a great amount of time and money. Salesforce also has Trailhead, an excellent training resource that you can use to create effective training sections and guide your users towards the correct use of the platform. There you will find everything you need in terms of training. If you need faster and more personalized training, you can rely on the Salesforce consulting partners.

7- Trailblazer Community

Salesforce is also famous for the incredible community it has built around its platform. It allows you to learn, connect with peers, and contribute to help others. In community meeting groups, you can have fun exchanges with business leaders and Salesforce users. In addition, it includes various materials that are helpful to community members. For example, real step-by-step guides that teach everything from how to create custom reports to where you can enable customer notifications and more.

8- Integration

It allows integration with third-party applications, making it possible to connect and access data from external sources in a simple way. Thus, you will be able to continue using the applications that were already present in your business processes. Additionally, you will benefit from the potential of the platform while also synchronizing valuable information for decision-making. Being able to integrate Salesforce with other applications that you use in your daily work routine represents a very important advantage for your business.

What people are saying

Five starts

Five stars on customer satisfaction and Salesforce appexchange ratings.

"Excellent Consultants. During the training I received by the SkyPlanner team, I was lucky to better understand the powerful capabilities of Salesforce.com. They were very effective, straight-to-the-point, and with a solid knowledge of the CRM and the Force.com platform. Definitively they showed us how to streamline the business process within our company. Great group of people spreading valuable knowledge to make businesses grow. I highly recommend them."

Ramiro Allen — Chief Software Engineer @ TurboPay Limited

"Excellent partner! We have been working with SkyPlanner for almost one year now. It has been a pleasure working with their team. If it wasn't for them we would have not been able to go-live with our platform when we did. They understood our needs and were not only able to execute but guide us in our decisions. We continue using them for our on-going projects. They have a deep understanding of the overall platform. Their team is always ready, willing and able to help."

Ivan de Moya — VP Innovation Technology @ SunStreet

"SkyPlanner was professional, creative, reliable and extremely accommodating. From the onset of the project, it was clear that we had found the right partner. Our project was complex and every time we hit a roadblock, SkyPlanner was helpful in identifying and implementing a solution. Jorge Fernandez [SkyPlanner's Co-Founder & Managing Director] was our primary contact and we cannot say enough about what an asset he was in bringing our project to resolution."

Ryan Borcherds — Marketing @ Deliver Lean

"On time, on budget, great quality on every project. Whenever I get asked to recommend a Salesforce.com partner, I do not hesitate on my reply: Go with SkyPlanner. I had the privilege to have worked with many teams over the years, none have brought to the table the enthusiasm the SkyPlanner team has. This combined with their professionalism and expertise are the reasons I ONLY recommend one partner: SkyPlanner. In every project (and we have done many) they have consistently delivered on time and on budget with significantly superior quality."

Juan Meza — Strategic Business Development Director @ Sony Electronics Inc.

"Outstanding Service! Happy to have them as our partner! SkyPlanner is by far the most experienced and reliable Salesforce partner. We almost gave up on Salesforce thanks to our previous partner, fortunately we found SkyPlanner and they came to the rescue! They took their time to understand our needs and complexity of our organization. Highly talented, professional and dedicated team. I cannot stress enough how happy we are to have them as our partner and we look forward to continue building our relationship."

Nolan Pereira — Project Manager @ BLU Products
