Services · Custom CRM

Custom CRM development, built around how you sell.

SFDIFY is a CRM development company. We build custom CRMs and customer portals for businesses whose process does not fit an off-the-shelf tool. As a Salesforce Consulting Partner, we will also tell you when customizing Salesforce is the better call.

What we build

CRM software development services.

Pipelines that match your process

Stages, fields and rules shaped around how your team actually sells or serves customers.

Customer and partner portals

Self-serve portals where customers or partners apply, track status and see their own data.

Integrations

Email, calendar, website forms, accounting and Stripe connected, so data is entered once.

Automation and AI

Lead routing, follow-up reminders and AI summaries that keep deals from going quiet.

Reporting dashboards

The numbers your team reviews every week, live instead of rebuilt in spreadsheets.

Data migration

Contacts, deals and history moved from spreadsheets or an old CRM, cleaned on the way in.

Case study · SFDIFY Partners

A partner portal for five products.

partners.sfdify.com
SFDIFY Partners home page at partners.sfdify.com: one partner account for SFDIFY products
The problem

Partners for five different products needed one place to apply, share referrals and follow results, and our team needed one place to review and manage them.

What we built
  • Partner applications
  • Referral tracking per product
  • Partner accounts
  • An admin console for our team
How it works today

SFDIFY Partners runs at partners.sfdify.com. It is the same kind of portal and pipeline work we build into custom CRMs for clients.

Is this a fit?

Custom CRM, Salesforce or off the shelf?

A good fit when

  • ✓Your process needs heavy workarounds in an off-the-shelf CRM.
  • ✓Customers or partners need their own portal into the same data.
  • ✓Per-seat pricing no longer fits how many people use the CRM.
  • ✓Data is entered twice because your tools do not talk to each other.

Probably not a fit when

  • ×A standard CRM fits with light setup. We will recommend it.
  • ×You already run Salesforce well. Customizing it is usually better.
  • ×Your team is a few people sharing one pipeline.
How we work

From first call to launch.

01

Discovery

Map how leads, deals and customers move today, and where things fall through.

02

Design

Data model, screens and automations agreed before anything is built.

03

Build in stages

The core pipeline first, then integrations and automation, each tested with your team.

04

Migrate and go live

Data moved over, people trained, and the old tool retired.

Cost and timeline

What drives the cost of custom CRM development.

A custom CRM can be one pipeline or a platform with portals. These factors decide the effort.

Pipelines and objects

How many stages, record types and rules the CRM needs to model your process.

Portals

Customer or partner portals add accounts, permissions and their own screens.

Integrations

Email, calendar, forms, accounting and Stripe each add work.

Automation and AI

Routing, reminders, scoring and AI summaries add logic and testing.

Data migration

Moving and cleaning contacts, deals and history from spreadsheets or an old CRM.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

When does a custom CRM make sense?

When your process is unusual enough that an off-the-shelf CRM needs heavy workarounds, or when per-seat pricing no longer fits. If a standard tool fits with light setup, we will recommend that instead.

Should we build a custom CRM or customize Salesforce?

It depends on your process, team size and budget. As a Salesforce Consulting Partner we build both, so we can compare them honestly for your case.

Can you migrate our existing data?

Yes. Contacts, companies, deals and history can be imported from spreadsheets or another CRM and cleaned during the move.

Can a custom CRM use AI?

Yes: lead scoring and routing, follow-up reminders, email drafting and summaries of calls or threads.

How long does it take to build a custom CRM?

The core pipeline comes first, then integrations, automation and portals in stages, so your team uses it early. Projects typically start 2 to 4 weeks after the first call.
