Overview

What this migration involves

VaultRE is a real estate-specific CRM built for Australian and New Zealand agencies, combining sales CRM, property management, trust accounting, and marketing automation in one platform. Its core entities — contacts with multiple roles (buyer, seller, tenant, landlord), property listings that can serve both rental and sales mandates, trust account ledgers, and commission split configurations — have no direct Salesforce standard-object equivalents. Salesforce Sales Cloud stores these concepts using a combination of Accounts, Contacts, custom Property__c objects, custom Trust_Account__c records, and junction objects for commission splits. The migration carries all VaultRE contacts, properties, activities, and custom database fields into Salesforce, with VaultRE automation triggers, workflow rules, and integration connections flagged for manual rebuild using Salesforce Flow and AppExchange apps. FlitStack AI uses Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for large record volumes, resolves VaultRE staff to Salesforce Users by email match, and preserves original create dates as custom fields since Salesforce sets CreatedDate at insertion time.

Field-level fidelity

Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Schema-aware mapping

AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.

Relationships preserved

Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.

Full activity history

Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.

Attachments & notes

Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

VaultRE

What's pushing teams away

  • PitchBook reports VaultRE's status as Out of Business, and customers have reported outages with no clear resolution timeline on the official Facebook page.
  • The platform is Australia and New Zealand specific, limiting its usefulness for agencies expanding into other markets that require multi-currency or international property management.
  • Customers cite frustration with automation triggers being rigid in certain workflows, particularly around conditional logic for property status changes.

Choosing

Salesforce Sales Cloud logo

Salesforce Sales Cloud

What's pulling them in

  • The AppExchange marketplace with 5,000+ prebuilt apps gives enterprises integrations for nearly every business workflow without custom development.
  • Native Einstein AI for lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting adds intelligence without a separate platform purchase.
  • Territory management, multi-currency support, and advanced forecasting satisfy the needs of complex B2B sales organizations with structured revenue teams.
  • Slack, Tableau, and CPQ are deeply integrated into the core platform, keeping the sales stack unified for teams already in the Salesforce ecosystem.
  • Organizations with a large, established Salesforce implementation choose it because switching costs — integrations, custom code, trained admins — are prohibitive.

Object mapping

How VaultRE objects map to Salesforce Sales Cloud

Each row shows how a VaultRE object lands in Salesforce Sales Cloud, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

VaultRE

Contact

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Contact / Lead

1:many
Fully supported

VaultRE contacts with role 'buyer' or 'seller' route to Salesforce Contact under an Account. VaultRE contacts flagged as leads without a property association route to Salesforce Lead. Role flags (buyer, seller, tenant, landlord) are preserved as a custom multi-select picklist on Contact since Salesforce does not natively model N-role contacts.

VaultRE

Contact (role = tenant)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE tenant contacts map directly to Salesforce Contact records associated with a Property__c record representing the rental listing. Tenant-specific fields like lease start/end dates migrate to custom date fields on the Contact. The tenant-to-property association is preserved via the Property__c lookup on the Contact record.

VaultRE

Property

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Property__c (custom object)

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE properties do not map to a standard Salesforce object. A Property__c custom object is created with fields for listing type (rental/sale/both), street address, suburb, state, postcode, price, bedrooms, bathrooms, and property type classification. The VaultRE property ID is stored as Source_Property_ID__c for delta-run de-duplication.

VaultRE

Property (dual listing)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Property__c + Opportunity (rental) / Opportunity (sale)

1:many
Fully supported

VaultRE properties that serve both as a rental listing and a sales mandate split into a Property__c record plus two Opportunity records — one for the rental campaign and one for the sales campaign — each with its own stage, amount, close date, and associated agents.

VaultRE

Listing / Listing Type

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Opportunity + Listing_Type__c (custom picklist)

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE listing types (sales campaign, rental campaign, off-market) map to Opportunity records with a custom Listing_Type__c picklist. Each Opportunity is linked to its parent Property__c record. Stage values (active, under offer, settled) map to Salesforce Opportunity Stage values per record type.

VaultRE

Trust Account

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Trust_Account__c (custom object)

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE trust accounts have no Salesforce standard equivalent. We create Trust_Account__c as a custom object with fields for account name, ledger balance, and associated property. Trust transaction history (deposits, withdrawals, disbursements) migrates to a related Trust_Transaction__c custom object with original timestamps preserved.

VaultRE

Commission Split

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Commission_Split__c (custom junction)

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE's native commission split configurations have no Salesforce standard object equivalent. A Commission_Split__c custom junction object is created, linking the Opportunity to the responsible Contact (agent) and storing the split percentage and calculation method as custom fields. This structure supports multi-agent commission scenarios.

VaultRE

Agent / Staff

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

User

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE staff records are resolved to Salesforce Users by email address match. Unmatched staff are flagged in a pre-migration report for team review. VaultRE agent-specific fields like license numbers and sales statistics migrate to custom fields on the Salesforce User record for ongoing reference.

VaultRE

Activity (call, email, meeting, note)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Task / Event / Note

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE logged calls and emails map to Salesforce Tasks with Type='Call' or Type='Email'. VaultRE meeting records with check-in data map to Salesforce Events with original start/end times preserved. VaultRE notes map to Salesforce Notes. Parent-record links to the corresponding Contact or Property__c record are maintained.

VaultRE

Open Home Check-in

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Open_Home_Checkin__c (custom object)

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE's open home check-in and kiosk functionality has no Salesforce equivalent. A custom Open_Home_Checkin__c object is created linked to Property__c, storing attendee name, contact, check-in timestamp, and feedback notes. This enables agents to recreate the check-in workflow in Salesforce using Flow.

VaultRE

Custom Database Field (contact)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom field on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE custom database fields on contacts — including date fields, checkboxes, text fields, and drop-down selections with up to 30 options — migrate to corresponding Salesforce custom fields on the Contact object. Drop-down selections map to Salesforce picklists with value-by-value mapping for each option.

VaultRE

Custom Database Field (property)

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

Custom field on Property__c

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE property-level custom fields migrate to custom fields on the Property__c custom object. Field types translate directly: VaultRE date fields become Salesforce Date fields, checkboxes become Checkbox fields, and drop-down selections become Picklist fields with value mapping.

VaultRE

Attachment / File

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

ContentDocument / Salesforce Files

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE file attachments on contacts, properties, and listings are re-uploaded to Salesforce as Salesforce Files (ContentDocument/ContentVersion). Inline images in VaultRE notes are downloaded and rehosted in Salesforce. File size limits of 25MB per Salesforce file apply.

VaultRE

Integration Connection

maps to

Salesforce Sales Cloud

N/A

1:1
Fully supported

VaultRE's native integrations with Pricefinder, CoreLogic, REI Forms Live, and Office365 do not migrate. These connections must be rebuilt in Salesforce using AppExchange apps or API integrations. FlitStack provides a connection-inventory export as a rebuild reference for your implementation team.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Multi-role contacts require a custom Salesforce data model to preserve simultaneous buyer-seller-tenant-landlord roles

    VaultRE allows a single contact record to hold buyer, seller, tenant, and landlord roles at the same time. Salesforce's standard Contact model associates one primary Account and uses separate junction objects for multi-entity relationships. Migrating VaultRE contacts with multiple active roles requires a custom Contact_Role__c multi-select picklist on the Contact record plus junction objects for role-specific property associations. We surface the full role matrix before migration so your Salesforce admin can decide whether to create separate Contact records per role or use the custom picklist approach.

  • VaultRE automation triggers and event-based workflows have no Salesforce equivalent and must be rebuilt

    VaultRE's automation triggers — such as lead follow-up timers, open home reminder sequences, and marketing campaign event actions — are configuration-only data that does not export via the VaultRE API. These rules cannot be carried into Salesforce and must be rebuilt using Salesforce Flow. We provide an automation audit export from VaultRE listing every active trigger, its conditions, and its actions, giving your Salesforce admin a rebuild reference. Without this step, teams lose the automated processes that drove daily operations in VaultRE.

  • Trust accounting ledger history requires a custom Salesforce object structure that Salesforce does not provide out of the box

    VaultRE's built-in trust accounting module stores transaction ledger entries with dates, amounts, and types (deposit, withdrawal, disbursement). Salesforce has no native trust accounting object. We create Trust_Account__c and Trust_Transaction__c custom objects, but the trust accounting logic — such as hold-release rules, disbursement sequencing, and compliance reporting — must be implemented either through Salesforce Flow or integrated with a dedicated trust accounting product post-migration. Historical ledger balances migrate as read-only reference data.

  • VaultRE's dual-listing properties (rental and sale simultaneously) create two Salesforce Opportunity records that must stay in sync

    When a VaultRE property serves both as a rental listing and a sales mandate, it splits into a Property__c record plus two Opportunity records. These two Opportunities share the same Property__c parent but have independent stages, amounts, and close dates. Managing two Opportunities per dual-listing property requires Salesforce admin awareness — duplicate rules, Flow triggers, and report filters that reference Opportunity must account for the dual-record structure. We label each Opportunity with a Listing_Type__c picklist value to distinguish rental from sale campaigns.

  • VaultRE API export rate limits and CSV chunking affect delta-run accuracy during cutover

    VaultRE's API does not expose a streaming change-log endpoint. Delta-pickup during the cutover window relies on re-querying VaultRE exports for records modified since the initial migration snapshot. If VaultRE's export API has rate limits or returns truncated CSV chunks, modified records during the delta window may not fully capture. We configure a conservative delta window (48 hours) and cross-validate record counts between source and destination after the delta ingest to detect gaps. Large-volume delta windows may require multiple export cycles.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful VaultRE to Salesforce Sales Cloud data migration

  1. Audit VaultRE data model and export structure

    FlitStack AI connects to VaultRE via API using scoped read access and inventories all contact types, property records, trust account ledgers, commission configurations, and custom database fields. We generate a VaultRE Data Dictionary from your live instance, identifying all custom field types (date, checkbox, text, drop-down), field groups, and active integration connections. This audit becomes the baseline for Salesforce custom object creation and field mapping plans.

  2. Create Salesforce custom objects and field schema

    Before data moves, we create the Property__c, Trust_Account__c, Trust_Transaction__c, Commission_Split__c, and Open_Home_Checkin__c custom objects in your Salesforce org, along with all required custom fields on standard objects. Picklist value sets are pre-built to match VaultRE drop-down options. Page layouts and record types are configured so contacts, properties, and opportunities load correctly in Lightning Experience. This step requires a Salesforce admin to approve the schema before we proceed to mapping.

  3. Resolve VaultRE agents and staff to Salesforce Users

    VaultRE staff records are matched to Salesforce Users by email address. Unmatched staff are flagged in a pre-migration report — your team either creates Salesforce User accounts for them first or assigns their records to a fallback owner. Commission split configurations are resolved at this stage so the Commission_Split__c junction records can be created during the deal migration phase.

  4. Sequence and execute the migration in dependency order

    We sequence the migration to satisfy Salesforce foreign-key constraints: first Trust_Account__c records, then Property__c records, then Contacts (split by role), then Opportunities (with Listing_Type__c and Opportunity/Property__c lookups), then Commission_Split__c junction records, then Activities (Tasks/Events/Notes), then Open_Home_Checkin__c records. Each object batch runs with a field-level diff report so you can verify mapping accuracy before the next batch commits.

  5. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 100–500 records — spanning contacts across all roles, properties with both rental and sale listings, trust transactions, and commission splits — migrates first. We generate a side-by-side field-level diff showing source VaultRE values against the destination Salesforce values for every mapped field. You review the diff and approve mapping adjustments before the full migration run commits.

  6. Cut over with delta-pickup and audit log

    The full migration executes against your Salesforce production org using Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 for large batches. A delta-pickup window (typically 48 hours) captures any VaultRE records created or modified during the cutover. FlitStack AI maintains an audit log of every insert, update, and error. One-click rollback reverts the Salesforce org to its pre-migration state if reconciliation uncovers critical mapping failures.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

Strengths

  • Purpose-built for Australia/New Zealand real estate, with a unified contact model that treats one person as buyer, seller, tenant, and landlord without duplicating records.
  • Single property record can carry both sales and rental statuses simultaneously, matching how AU/NZ agencies operate across the lifecycle of a listing.
  • Open API-first architecture (now under MRI Software as MRI Vault) for integration with portals, accounting, and marketing tools.
  • Trusted by more than one in three real estate offices across Australia and New Zealand, providing strong vendor stability and ANZ-specific portal support.
  • Native Xero trust accounting integration covers commission disbursements, property management trust balances, and end-of-month reconciliation without external middleware.

Weaknesses

  • Property loading and contact-database sync are reported as slow during high-traffic moments like open-home check-ins, slowing the agent workflow.
  • Contact entry takes more steps than competing CRMs and the platform creates duplicates if details are not entered carefully, requiring routine deduplication.
  • No native deal-stage tracker for moving a transaction through pipeline stages, which is standard in horizontal CRMs.
  • Branded MRI Vault rather than VaultRE post-acquisition, with rebrand transitions affecting documentation, integrations, and partner ecosystem references.
  • Mobile app reviewers report intermittent sync delays on iOS/Android during peak listing activity, affecting on-the-go updates.

Strengths

  • Largest enterprise app ecosystem in CRM with 5,000+ AppExchange integrations covering nearly every vertical workflow.
  • Native Einstein AI delivers lead scoring, opportunity insights, and predictive forecasting without a third-party layer.
  • Advanced territory management, multi-currency, and flexible forecasting satisfy complex B2B revenue structures.
  • Deep platform extensibility: Custom Objects, Apex, Flow, and the Metadata API allow full schema customization.
  • Well-documented REST API, Bulk API, and Composite API with published rate limits for programmatic migration.

Weaknesses

  • Pricing model is layered and opaque in practice: per-seat fees plus storage overages, add-on subscriptions, and annual uplifts compound to 30–40% above sticker price.
  • Workflow Rules and Process Builder are deprecated, forcing all orgs onto Salesforce Flow — a migration task that catches many teams by surprise.
  • Steep administrative complexity: meaningful configuration requires a dedicated Salesforce admin or consultant.
  • API rate limits are edition-gated (100k/day base for Enterprise) and easily exhausted by large historical imports without throttling.
  • Data export is exportable via Data Loader but preserving relationship integrity across 30+ objects requires careful ETL sequencing.
