Partnering with Design First over the years has been outstanding. Their collaborative approach and commitment to our dynamic needs has helped our Salesforce operations run effectively and smoothly.  They tackle every project with enthusiasm, no matter the size or complexity. We highly recommend them!

DONORSEARCH

We engaged the Design First team to help us untangle a technical mess and simplify an overly complex business process, particularly around CPQ and data quality.  From the initial discovery to sprint execution, it was a very positive experience working with Design First.  They were able to quickly understand our business problems across the entire customer journey, and provide best practices derived from their experience with other clients.  It was refreshing to be able to review our technical implementation and get guidance on what we needed to simplify our tech stack and build a stronger foundation.  Going into the engagement, we had a number of technical and business objectives, which we could not have accomplished without our partnership with Design First!

ALIDA

We have been partnering with Design 1st for approximately three years, leveraging their knowledge to support our complex Salesforce projects. Their expertise has been a cornerstone in driving several of our major initiatives forward. Notably, they have been instrumental in a comprehensive reimplementation of Salesforce CPQ, as well as the challenging task of merging two separate instances of Salesforce into a single, unified organization.

​

Alex and his team at Design 1st have been invaluable partners throughout these projects. Their professionalism, knowledge, and dedication have consistently exceeded our expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Design 1st to any individual or organization in need of top-tier Salesforce consulting services.

ACCUSOFT

Design 1st developed a robust Salesforce instance for our company four years ago.  The initial instance continues to reliably handle traditional CRM functions, integrate with third-party contract execution and invoicing services, and provide management tools for our service provisioning process.  The Design 1st team later created industry-specific augmentations that enable us to automate service-related notifications.

 

Alex and his team have earned our trust by meticulously testing changes with us before deployment, professionally interfacing with related third party vendors on our behalf, and using the historical knowledge of our business and systems over years to shorten development timelines.  Design 1st is our go-to Salesforce resource.
