Overview

What a salesforce expert actually does.

A Salesforce admin or developer configures Flows, custom objects and Apex code so your CRM matches your actual sales process instead of forcing your team to work around it. ViaHourly specialists are matched by whether you need declarative admin work (Flows, validation rules, reports) or custom Apex development.

The problem

Why teams hire a salesforce expert.

Sales team fighting the CRM

Reps enter data around Salesforce instead of through it because the setup doesn't match their process.

Flows built without a clear architecture

Automation has grown organically into a tangle no one fully understands anymore.

Custom Apex code with no documentation

Legacy customizations break when Salesforce releases seasonal updates, with no one able to safely fix them.

Reporting doesn't support real decisions

Pipeline and forecast reports don't reflect the actual sales process stages.

The fix

What ViaHourly delivers instead.

Process-matched configuration

Objects, fields and page layouts rebuilt to match how sales actually works.

Flow architecture cleanup

Automation consolidated and documented so it's maintainable going forward.

Apex code stabilization

Custom code reviewed, tested and documented so seasonal releases stop breaking things.

Decision-ready reporting

Reports and dashboards rebuilt around real pipeline stages and forecast categories.

Illustrative example
"Our reps were entering data around Salesforce instead of through it because the setup never matched how we actually sold. Rebuilding the objects to fit our process changed adoption almost overnight."
VP Sales, B2B company
