Salesforce App Development
Our Salesforce app development services allow organizations to create custom solutions tailored to their unique needs, leveraging the platform’s powerful tools and scalability. With low-code and flexible development options, Salesforce enables rapid deployment, streamlined processes, and seamless integrations for enhanced operational efficiency.
Associations
Salesforce app development for associations enables the creation of highly customizable solutions that integrate seamlessly with Salesforce’s cloud ecosystem, ensuring robust data management and automation. By utilizing Salesforce’s Lightning platform, Apex, and Visualforce, associations can build scalable applications that enhance workflow efficiency, improve member engagement, and deliver real-time insights through advanced reporting and analytics.
Nonprofits
Salesforce app development for nonprofits leverages the platform’s powerful CRM capabilities to create custom applications that optimize donor management, event tracking, and volunteer coordination. By utilizing tools like Salesforce NPSP (Nonprofit Success Pack), Apex, and Lightning components, nonprofits can build scalable, data-driven solutions that streamline operations and improve mission impact.
Businesses
For businesses interested in servicing the association and nonprofit markets, Salesforce app development offers the opportunity to create customizable applications that can be monetized through the Salesforce AppExchange. As either an ISV or OEM Partner, companies can leverage Salesforce’s powerful platform to build and distribute solutions, gaining access to a global marketplace while benefiting from Salesforce’s trusted infrastructure, security, and scalability.
Low Code is a Priority
Utilizing Salesforce’s low-code tools to build applications allows organizations to rapidly develop solutions that are both customizable and scalable. With tools like Salesforce Lightning, App Builder, and Flows, developers can create robust applications with minimal coding, ensuring faster time to market. These low-code tools simplify the process of building business logic, user interfaces, and integrations, making it easy to connect with existing Salesforce Clouds and third-party systems. By leveraging these tools, applications are not only built efficiently but are also designed to scale effortlessly as business needs evolve, ensuring seamless growth and integration within the Salesforce ecosystem.
Database Architecture
A solid architecture is the backbone of any successful Salesforce application, and at Systems Rewired, we understand that the foundation is just as crucial as the resources used to build it. It’s not only about having top-tier Salesforce expertise but also having deep knowledge of the industries we serve, ensuring that solutions are not only technically sound but also aligned with specific business needs. Selecting the right data models from the outset is critical for ensuring that your system can scale and adapt as requirements evolve. By establishing a strong, flexible foundation, we ensure that all necessary functionality can be built efficiently, allowing for seamless integrations, optimized workflows, and the ability to meet both current and future business demands.

We deliver scalable, secure, and user-friendly solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing systems, driving efficiency and innovation. Whether enhancing internal operations or a company launching a product for the marketplace on the Salesforce AppExchange, we offer end-to-end support from design to deployment.
1. Consulting
Business Analysis & REquirements
At Systems Rewired, every custom application project begins with a thorough business analysis and documentation. We engage directly with stakeholders—individually or in groups—to gather insights and define their needs. Once we’ve collected this input, we evaluate and organize the requirements, addressing any discrepancies and prioritizing features that deliver the highest value early in the process. The outcome is a comprehensive report detailing the agreed-upon business, functional, and system requirements, ensuring alignment between organizational goals and technical solutions. Our team stays connected throughout the project, providing best practices, ready to adapt as new needs arise or priorities shift, ensuring the application evolves seamlessly with your business.
2. Prototyping
UI/UX Prototyping
UI/UX prototyping is essential in Salesforce app development, providing a visual and interactive preview of workflows, layouts, and user interactions. Using tools like Lightning App Builder or external platforms, prototypes help identify usability challenges, refine navigation, and align the app with user expectations. This collaborative process minimizes redesigns later and ensures the final application is user-friendly and efficient, boosting adoption and satisfaction.
3. Developing
Deleloping to specifications
Our approach to app development focuses on delivering essential functionality in manageable phases, prioritizing features based on importance. We begin by establishing a functional foundation that users can access immediately, enabling them to start benefiting from the app early on. Additional features are then developed and rolled out incrementally, guided by feedback from end users or input from the product owner. This iterative process ensures flexibility, allowing us to adapt quickly to changing requirements and deliver updates every 2-4 weeks, keeping the app aligned with evolving business needs.
4. Quality Assurance
Q/A through unit testing and code review
At Systems Rewired, we prioritize delivering high-quality and reliable Salesforce applications through comprehensive QA activities. Our Salesforce developers conduct unit tests and thorough code reviews to ensure stability and precision. Throughout the development process, we implement continuous testing, including functional testing, performance testing, and integration testing when required. To accelerate application delivery and minimize bugs, we strategically leverage test automation, ensuring a seamless and efficient development lifecycle.
5. Training & Adoption
Driving User Adoption, Empowering Through Training.
At Systems Rewired, we understand that user training and adoption are critical to the success of custom application development projects. Our approach ensures that users gain a thorough understanding of the application’s functionality and feel confident leveraging its features to streamline workflows. By prioritizing intuitive design, clear communication of benefits, and tailored, role-specific training, we help organizations maximize user engagement.
6. Launch
Seamlessly Launching Apps, Delivering Success
Associations and Nonprofits
When launching custom applications, Systems Rewired ensures a seamless transition by transferring the thoroughly tested application to the UAT (User Acceptance Testing) environment. Once the customer approves the application, it is migrated to the production environment, making it accessible to end users with minimal disruption. This process ensures the application is fully operational and ready to meet organizational needs.
Businesses Serving the Association & Nonprofit Market
For businesses aiming to list their applications on Salesforce AppExchange, we prepare the app for the rigorous AppExchange security review. This involves creating detailed documentation tailored to both end users and administrators and submitting it to the Salesforce Product Security Team.
7. Support: Post Launch
Supporting Success Beyond Launch
After launch, we provide comprehensive support to ensure the success of your application. From resolving technical issues to addressing user feedback, our team is committed to keeping your solution running smoothly.
8. Ongoing Optimization
Evolving Solutions, Empowering Growth.
We offer guidance on optimizing the application as your organization evolves, ensuring it continues to meet your needs and deliver value over time. This includes regular performance reviews, implementing updates, and identifying opportunities to enhance functionality, keeping your solution aligned with your goals and industry trends.

Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
Salesforce MVP
A proven way to ensure a successful Salesforce Application Development project is by adopting a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approach. The MVP strategy draws on the traditional software development concept of launching a product with only the core features and gradually adding additional functionality as time and resources allow.
Taking an MVP approach enables a quick and efficient launch, helping you optimize your resources for developing, deploying, and maintaining a great user experience. This is especially crucial for enterprise-level deployments, where the complexity can be overwhelming and time consuming.
When implementing the MVP strategy, it’s important to focus on several key areas, such as core functional requirements, user experience, and scalability and flexibility. These focus areas will help streamline the deployment process, ensuring it’s as smooth and efficient as possible.
Functional Requirements
Identify the essential features that provide the most value to your users. Focus on delivering only these core functions initially to solve key pain points, ensuring a quick and efficient deployment. This allows you to launch with a product that meets immediate needs while leaving room for future enhancements.
User Experience
Even with an MVP, it’s critical to design an intuitive and easy-to-use interface. A well-designed user experience ensures higher adoption and engagement from your users, even with a simplified feature set. Prioritize ease of navigation, clarity of workflows, and responsiveness across devices to make the MVP as user-friendly as possible.
Scalability & Flexibility
Build your Salesforce application with scalability in mind. While your MVP may start small, you want to ensure it can grow as your business needs evolve. Design a flexible architecture that allows you to add new features, integrate with other systems, and scale performance without major rework down the line.
