APPSInvent Inc.

Salesforce consulting comes first for APPSInvent Inc., a firm in North York in Canada that also builds custom CRM systems, mobile applications and healthcare integrations.

Salesforce partner work

The company is a registered consulting partner of Salesforce, and all of its Salesforce developers are certified professionals. Its main focus, as the company describes it, is to find a solution that suits each client, whether the client is starting a new Salesforce implementation or working on one already in place. That work sits beside the firm's own use of open-source tools, which it runs internally for customer relationship management, scheduling, timesheets and project management, as a way of keeping its operating costs down.

Custom CRM and SuiteCRM

APPSInvent Inc. implements SuiteCRM for businesses and customises it to the way each one works. For clients who want something built around their own processes, it writes a custom CRM and then maintains it for them over time. The company describes this as a system that meets all of a client's stated business requirements, rather than one that asks the client to adapt to a standard product.

Mobile applications for business use

The firm says that more and more of daily work now happens on mobile devices, and that most business software now has a mobile equivalent. It builds mobile applications that let a company's staff and customers reach its systems from a phone, and it offers to help clients plan that move. It presents this as part of a wider offer that also includes digital marketing and HL7 integration work.

Free resources and how to start

The company has developed several free tools for its customers, and these can be found on its product page. Prospective clients are invited to make contact so that the firm can show how the tools would fit their own work. The company's combination of open-source practice, Salesforce consulting and mobile development is the basis of its service offer.
