Is the practice of add-ons common for CRM platforms?
Yes, it is! Microsoft Dynamics 365, one of the market-leading CRM platforms, also has an extensive marketplace of additional ready-to-use apps that help build extra functionality and set up needed integrations. Quick search shows 1,000+ add-ons for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales.
What if you need something special?
Checking the app’s functionality isn’t enough: you have to ensure the version of the app is still compatible with the latest version of Salesforce and is customizable enough to fully reflect your requirements. If the functionality of existing AppExchange applications cannot satisfy your needs or if the “$X/user/month” payment scheme is not an option for you, you can opt for a custom app or store-bought apps customized by ScienceSoft. ScienceSoft’s Salesforce team can also design an app for placing on AppExchange, which can become a source of permanent income for your company.
