Salesforce Migration

Migrate from Salesforce without the risk.

Salesforce is enterprise-grade, but most teams use a fraction of its depth and pay for all of it. We export your Salesforce data and migrate you to monday.com, keeping every record, every workflow, and every relationship intact, at a fraction of the cost and complexity.

The problem

Why teams switch from Salesforce

Paying for capabilities you don't use

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.

Every change needs a specialist

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.

Low adoption, incomplete data

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.

Locked into a complex ecosystem

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.

What we migrate

Every record, every field, every relationship.

Core Data

  • Contacts & Companies (with all custom fields)
  • Deals / Opportunities (with stage history)
  • Activities, Tasks & Events
  • Notes & Email History (where API-accessible)
  • Files & Attachments

Structure

  • Pipeline stages & definitions
  • User assignments & ownership
  • Tags, categories & picklist values
  • Record relationships & associations
  • Lead & contact sources

We Rebuild (Better)

  • Automation rules → monday.com native + Make.com
  • Reports & dashboards → real-time visual dashboards
  • Email sequences → monday CRM email or your existing tools
  • Lead scoring → formulas + automation
  • Approval workflows → monday.com workflow automations

Our process

How we migrate you from Salesforce.

01

Free Assessment

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.

02

Architecture & Mapping

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.

03

Data Cleaning

2–5 days

Using AI-powered tools, we deduplicate, standardise, and validate your Salesforce data. Bad data stays behind. Good data gets migrated cleanly.

04

Staged Migration

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.

05

Automation & Integration Build

3–7 days

We rebuild your workflows, connect your tools, and configure dashboards. Everything is tested end-to-end before your team touches it.

06

Training & Go-Live

2–4 weeks support

Role-specific training for your team, recorded walkthroughs for future hires, and ongoing support post-launch to ensure smooth adoption.

Honest take

When Salesforce is the right call

We won’t recommend a migration when staying put is the better choice. Here’s when it makes sense to keep what you have.

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.

Common questions

Honest answers on migrating from Salesforce.

How do I export Salesforce data to monday.com?+
You have three practical routes. Salesforce's Data Export Wizard (Setup > Data > Data Export) schedules CSV exports of standard and custom objects weekly or monthly. The Salesforce Data Loader (a free desktop tool) pulls objects on-demand to CSV. The Salesforce REST API pulls everything programmatically and preserves ownership, record IDs, and relationships that CSV exports lose. When we run your migration, we use the REST API approach so the data arrives in monday.com with relationships intact, not as flat tables you have to reconcile by hand.
What can be exported from Salesforce?+
Standard objects (Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Cases, Tasks, Events) and custom objects export cleanly via all three methods. Notes, files, and attachments need an additional pull via the ContentDocument API. Field history, audit logs, and Chatter posts are subject to Salesforce API limits and may need staged export. Apex code, Flows, validation rules, and approval processes do not export in the migration sense — we rebuild them as monday.com automations or Make.com scenarios, preserving the business logic without carrying the maintenance overhead.
Can I use the Salesforce Data Export Wizard for the full migration?+
You can, but knowing the limits matters. The Data Export Wizard runs weekly on Enterprise edition and monthly on Professional. It exports raw object CSVs but does not preserve the lookups and relationships between objects when you re-import elsewhere. For a clean cutover we use the REST API to keep ownership, history, and relationships in place. If you have already exported your data via the wizard, we accept those CSVs and handle the relationship reconciliation as part of the migration.
How long does a Salesforce to monday.com migration take?+
Typically 2 to 6 weeks depending on data volume, custom objects, and automation complexity. Simple setups can go faster; heavily customised orgs take longer. We'll give you an accurate timeline after the free assessment.
Will I lose any data during migration?+
No. We use staged migration with validation at every checkpoint. You review test batches before we migrate the full dataset. Post-migration, we run a reconciliation report to confirm everything transferred correctly.
Can monday.com really replace Salesforce for our sales team?+
For most growing businesses, yes. monday CRM handles contact management, deal tracking, pipeline management, email integration, automations, and reporting. Where Salesforce has an edge is in deeply complex enterprise scenarios with hundreds of custom objects and heavy Apex code. For the vast majority of SMBs, monday.com delivers the same outcomes at a fraction of the cost and complexity.
What about our existing Salesforce integrations?+
We audit every integration during the assessment. Most common integrations, email, calendar, Slack, accounting tools, marketing platforms, have native monday.com equivalents or can be connected via Make.com. For custom integrations, we build API connections as needed.
How much does migration cost?+
It depends on your Salesforce complexity, users, data volume, custom objects, automations, and integrations. Book a free assessment and we'll provide a detailed quote. Most clients find the migration cost pays for itself within 3 to 6 months through reduced licensing alone.
Can we keep using Salesforce during the transition?+
Yes. We run parallel systems during migration so your team never has a gap. We define a clear cutover date once the new system is validated and your team is trained.
