Salesforce to Pipedrive Migration For a Manufacturing Company

Summary

A custom Salesforce to Pipedrive migration solution was delivered by us to a manufacturing company. The client sought a simpler, more intuitive CRM to improve sales team adoption and streamline operations. We mapped their sales process, configured pipelines, migrated key records, implemented automations, integrated Apollo, and trained their team. The migration ensured 100% data accuracy, eliminated manual inefficiencies, and provided real-time reporting through a custom dashboard. The transition not only improved productivity but also empowered the sales team to focus on closing deals rather than managing complex systems.
