Rescue for Austin Salesforce projects that stalled when the company grew, relocated or changed leaders mid-build, or that went live without the adoption anyone expected.
In Austin, Salesforce projects often go off track because the company changed faster than the project: a relocation, a new sales leader, an acquisition or a jump in headcount altered requirements halfway through. We begin by assessing the build against what the business needs now, not only the original scope. Urgent fixes come first so sales can operate, then each component is kept, fixed or rebuilt. We complete the work, document it and relaunch with training for the team as it exists today.
Distributors sometimes launch Salesforce without the ERP integration that was supposed to show orders and pricing, and reps drift back to the ERP screen. Rescue starts with that integration, or an interim read-only view, because it is what gives reps a reason to open Salesforce at all. Account hierarchy and quoting fixes follow, and we relaunch branch by branch or region by region so each group can confirm the fixes.
Manufacturers that attempted CPQ early sometimes end up with a quoting build too complex to maintain and price rules nobody can explain. In a rescue we separate the product and pricing logic that works from what does not, simplify configuration rules and align quotes with ERP pricing. Sales engineers test the rebuilt quoting on real deals before it replaces the spreadsheets they have been using as a workaround, and finance signs off on the pricing logic.
Deep-tech aerospace and defense companies, a group the Austin chamber highlights, sometimes build Salesforce quickly and then find it holds data it should not, or cannot track pursuits the way their contracts require. Recovery begins with a data review and permission reset, then reshapes opportunities around proposals, awards and contract modifications. The rebuilt process is documented so the next security review finds clear rules. Business development staff are retrained on what may be entered where.
If the company has grown or reorganized since the project began, the original requirements may be out of date. Review them with current leaders before resuming work, so the rescue delivers what the business needs now instead of finishing a plan written for a smaller company.
Stalled projects often have many stakeholders and nobody who can settle disputes. Agree on a single sponsor with authority over scope and process questions before recovery starts, and hold regular decision reviews so open issues do not linger for weeks.
Users will ask for new features the moment work restarts. Capture them in a backlog but hold them until the original scope is stable, so the rescue has a clear end point and new work builds on a system that already works.

Pause, then reassess before restarting. Relocations change teams, territories and sometimes leadership, so the original requirements may no longer fit. We review the build, the data and the scope with the people now running sales and service, stabilize anything blocking daily work, and agree a revised plan. Work resumes against that plan, with a single owner making decisions and clear milestones leadership can track.
Usually. Overbuilt CPQ tends to have more product rules, price rules and custom code than the business needs. We catalog every rule, test which ones still affect real quotes and consolidate or remove the rest. Where configuration can replace custom code, we make that switch. The result is quoting your admins can maintain, with pricing logic documented in plain language for sales and finance.
Yes, and they are often the best source of context. Internal teams know why decisions were made, even when the build went off course. We review the org with them, agree what to keep, and divide the remaining work according to their capacity. Knowledge transfer is built into the plan, so your team can maintain the finished org rather than depending on us indefinitely.
