The foundation of fund distribution CRM in Australia. Sales Cloud for pipeline and activity tracking, Financial Services Cloud for firms that need a more structured data model.
Salesforce is the foundation of everything we build. Sales Cloud for pipeline and activity tracking, Financial Services Cloud for firms that need a more structured data model, and the broader ecosystem for integrations and automation.
For fund managers, the challenge is not whether Salesforce is the right platform. It almost always is. The challenge is configuring it to reflect how wholesale distribution actually works. Adviser-practice-licensee relationships, tiering logic, platform presence, state-based territory views. Out of the box, Salesforce knows none of this. We configure it so it does.
We have been implementing and supporting Salesforce for fund distribution teams since 2016. Our CRM architecture reflects patterns we have refined across dozens of engagements in the Australian market, with select clients in the US and UK.
