Migrate your Sales ERP data
Salesforce-powered ERP with configurable modules for accounts, orders, inventory, and financials. Targets mid-market to enterprise teams that need tight CRM-to-Finance integration and accept a complex admin surface.
In its favor
Why people choose Sales ERP
The signal that keeps Sales ERP on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Salesforce's modular architecture lets growing companies start with Sales Cloud and add Finance, Service, or Industry Clouds without switching platforms, reducing vendor switching costs over time.
Native integration between CRM objects (Accounts, Contacts, Opportunities) and ERP objects (Orders, Invoices, Assets) eliminates manual data re-entry and reduces reconciliation errors across departments.
The Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 supports asynchronous high-volume ingestion and extraction, making large-scale migrations feasible for enterprises with millions of records without overwhelming daily API allocations.
Salesforce's role-based sharing model and territory management let organizations model complex sales hierarchies that most CRM platforms cannot represent, making it a destination for organizations outgrowing simpler tools.
The total cost of ownership—licenses plus implementation consulting, data migration, and ongoing admin overhead—regularly exceeds initial estimates by 50% or more, driving teams to seek simpler alternatives.
The complexity of Salesforce's data model and administration layer creates a steep learning curve, leading to reliance on dedicated admins and creating organizational risk when staff turn over.
API rate limits on lower-tier licenses can throttle integrations and migration throughput, forcing expensive license upgrades to accommodate data-heavy workflows.
Custom objects, industry-cloud extensions, and third-party AppExchange packages accumulate technical debt that makes future migrations or platform switches prohibitively complex.

What gets migrated
Sales ERP object support
Object-by-object support for Sales ERP migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Accounts
Fully supportedStandard primary object for companies and organizations. Exposed via REST and Bulk API 2.0 with stable schema across editions. We map Accounts 1:1 in most migrations and preserve parent-account hierarchies via the ParentId field.
Contacts
Fully supportedStandard object linked to Accounts via AccountId. We handle Contact-to-Account relationships, duplicate detection rules, and ownership assignment during migration. The Account Contact Relation object is used for multi-role contacts.
Opportunities
Fully supportedCore sales pipeline object. We preserve stage history, probability curves, and Opportunity Team Member assignments. Forecast categories require explicit mapping because they vary by org configuration.
Leads
Mapping requiredLeads are a distinct object from Contacts. Where the destination CRM lacks a separate Lead concept, we merge Leads into Contacts and preserve Lead_Status and Lead_Source as custom Contact properties. Lead assignment rules require rule-to-rule mapping.
Orders
Fully supportedOrder object stores fulfillment records linked to Accounts and Contracts. OrderItems represent line items. We map Order status transitions and preserve the Account-Order-Contract lineage through field-level references.
Contracts
Fully supportedContract records link to Accounts and drive Order fulfillment eligibility. Start and end dates, status, and renewal terms are standard fields. We preserve Contract-Order associations and flag contract milestones for downstream systems.
Products
Fully supportedProduct2 defines sellable items with IsActive flags and product codes. Standard object with stable schema. We map Products directly but validate that inactive products are flagged rather than silently dropped.
Price Book Entries
Fully supportedLinks Products to Price Books with unit prices. Custom Price Books require explicit mapping. We validate that all products have at least one active price book entry in the destination or flag missing entries for review.
Cases
Fully supportedService Cloud Cases are linked to Contacts and Accounts. Custom Case fields and entitlements require field-level mapping. We preserve Case-to-Contact relationships and escalate hierarchy when converting Cases to Accounts.
Campaigns
Mapping requiredMarketing Campaigns and Campaign Members represent audience lists. Campaign Member statuses map differently across platforms. We handle Campaign hierarchies and flag Custom Campaign fields for explicit value mapping.
Users
Fully supportedUser object represents active Salesforce licenses. We map Users to destination owners and preserve Role and Profile assignments. Deactivated users are not migrated by default to avoid license waste in the destination system.
Custom Objects
Mapping requiredCustom objects created via Application Composer or managed packages are accessible via REST API with their API Name (ending in __c). We map custom object records and relationships but cannot apply custom saved searches since query parameters are unsupported for custom objects.
Attachments and Notes
Mapping requiredAttachments and Notes export as separate rows per parent record, not inline with the parent object. We handle them as distinct record types and flag multi-attachment-per-contact scenarios that may require file-to-record reassignment in the destination.
