Salesforce in production in 30 days
EQS Start is an implementation with scope, timeline and price locked in advance. You know what you get before you sign.
Most CRM proposals arrive as a range and the sentence “it depends on the scope.” EQS Start is the opposite: one package, one price, 30 days and an exact list of what is included. What is not included is written down just as clearly, and that boundary is exactly why the work is finished on time and on budget.
EQS Start
€4,900
The list is locked before we start. No extra items and no extra charges.
From kickoff meeting to handover. The deadline is a commitment, not an estimate.
After handover we stay with your team: fixes, questions and adjustments until the system settles in.
The price does not include Salesforce licenses. You contract those directly with Salesforce, based on the number of users and the edition you choose. We are happy to help you work out how many licenses you need before you decide.
Why a fixed price at all
A quote that arrives as a range shifts the risk onto you: if the work takes longer, you pay more. A fixed price shifts that risk back to us, but only if it's clear where the work ends. That is why the scope list is locked before we start, not left open “until it's done”.
Anything beyond that list is possible, and we're glad to do it, but as separate development with its own estimate. That way the package stays what you chose it for: one number, one deadline and no surprises in week three.
Four weeks, each with a clear finish
Twenty business days, divided so that every week has a result you can see and approve.
-
01
Kickoff and discovery Week 1
We walk through your process the way it works today, not the way it should. At the end of the week you approve a written configuration plan — everything after that is built from it.
-
02
Setup Week 2
We set up the environment: users, roles and permissions, objects and fields, the flow from first contact to closed deal. The work is done directly in production, so there is no later transfer from a test environment.
-
03
Automation and reports Week 3
We add automated flows, duplicate rules, the home page and the reports you need on day one. Your team works alongside us, on its own data.
-
04
Handover Week 4
Final walkthrough with your administrator, fixes and handover. We hand over a system your team is already working in, not a demo.
What we need from you
The 30-day deadline doesn't depend on our side alone. These are the three things without which the package cannot be delivered, which is why we say so up front, not in week three.
8 to 10 hours of meetings
Spread over a month. Not one long workshop day, but short meetings where decisions get made.
One person who decides
Someone who can say “this is how we do it” without checking with three other people. Without that, every decision is postponed to the next meeting, and the weeks slip away.
An administrator, from day one
The person who will run the system afterwards sits with us the whole time and provides access to the environment before we start. That is why the system is maintained in-house after handover, not through us.
When EQS Start is not the right choice
A fixed package works because it has a limit. Here is when that limit is too tight and what we suggest instead.
You have data in an existing CRM that you need to keep
Data transfer has its own inventory and its own timeline, so it isn't estimated together with the setup. Take Start for the setup and the migration as a separate package, or the other way around, if the history is more urgent.
Salesforce has to talk to your ERP or telephony
Integrations can't be locked into a fixed scope until you see what's on the other side. We handle them through system architecture, and Start remains the foundation they connect to.
The process you're rolling out still needs to be designed
If it hasn't been agreed who does what and when, a tool won't fix that, it will only speed up the mess. Business processes first, then Start.
You need someone to run the system afterwards too
Start ends with a handover to your administrator. If there's no one in-house to take over, maintenance and further development are covered by EQS Care.
What's included and what isn't
This is the whole list. If something isn't here, it isn't in the package. That is not an oversight, it is what keeps both the deadline and the price in place.

Frequently asked questions about EQS Start
What exactly do we get for €4,900?
An implementation based on a scope list locked before the start, within 30 days, with a certified consultant, plus two weeks of support after handover. You pay for the result on the list, not for hours spent: if the work takes longer, that is our cost.
Which Salesforce products does EQS Start cover?
For one cloud: Sales Cloud or Service Cloud. If you need both, we agree on the second one separately, with its own scope. Other products, such as Marketing Cloud or Experience Cloud, we implement as a separate project.
Does the price include Salesforce licenses?
No. You buy licenses directly from Salesforce, based on the number of users and the edition you choose. Before you decide, we help you work out how many licenses you really need.
How much time does it take from our team?
Eight to ten hours of meetings spread over a month, one person who makes decisions, and an administrator who works with us from day one.
Can we move data from our old CRM with EQS Start?
Not within the package. Data transfer has its own scope and timeline, so we do it as the separate Migration to Salesforce package, before or after Start.
What if we need something more after handover?
We're glad to do anything beyond the scope, as separate development with its own estimate. For maintenance and further development, there is EQS Care.
