COMPARE / CRM & SALES

You can replace it

ProHQ vs Salesforce

Enterprise cloud CRM platform for sales, service and marketing. ProHQ is a process engine: it runs your whole operation as one process — offline, in the field, in your team's language — and we build and run it with you.

CREDIT WHERE IT'S DUE

What Salesforce is genuinely good at.

Limitless customization

Custom objects, fields and the Lightning App Builder model almost any business object — effectively a development platform.

AppExchange ecosystem

A large marketplace of installable third-party apps means most common needs have a ready-made extension.

Reporting and community

Highly configurable real-time reports and dashboards, backed by the huge Trailblazer/Trailhead community.

SIDE BY SIDE

Six things that decide it.

CAPABILITY

ProHQ

Salesforce

Built around your process

A state-machine workflow that mirrors how you actually work — not generic boards, lists or tickets you bend to fit.

✓

Offline-first, built for the field

Record work where it happens — site, road, shop floor — with no signal. It syncs when the network returns.

✓

One process, everything attached

Tables, documents, files, approvals and chat hang off the exact stage they belong to — not separate apps that never quite talk.

✓

A team that runs it with you

We sit with your people, map the process and keep it running. Not a download-and-configure-it-yourself licence.

✓

Your team's language

Feels like Excel and WhatsApp, in the language the field already speaks. No training period.

✓

AI only where it pays

Drafting, summarising and repetitive paperwork automated on the process — included, not a per-seat upsell.

WHERE IT STOPS

The gap ProHQ fills.

Salesforce can model almost anything, but only after a certified admin or consultant builds it, and it still stops at the sales-and-service funnel rather than carrying work into delivery, field and finance. It assumes constant connectivity, so it cannot capture records offline in the field. For an Indian field business, USD pricing plus consultant overhead is a heavy entry cost.

Needs admins and consultants

Entire admin certification tracks exist because real deployments require certified people — SMBs typically must hire consultants.
No offline-first field use

A cloud product dependent on connectivity, not architected for offline-first work where field teams have no signal.
No general process engine

Automation centres on the sales pipeline plus Flow Builder and Approvals; no built-in multi-stage operations state-machine spanning delivery and finance.
Cost burden for SMBs

Per-seat premium tiers plus stacked add-ons make true cost compound well beyond the base seat.

THE INDIA REALITY

Core editions are billed in USD plus 18% GST, so rupee cost floats with the exchange rate. Real Indian deployments need certified admins or a partner, there is no verified Hindi product UI, and it fits enterprises far better than cost-sensitive SMBs.

YOU CAN REPLACE IT

Switch to one process.

For an SMB or field-heavy operation, ProHQ can replace Salesforce outright at a fraction of the setup cost and effort. For a large enterprise already invested in it for sales, ProHQ runs alongside to own the field, delivery and finance stages Salesforce never reaches. Honest call: at enterprise scale, Salesforce's customization depth and ecosystem are hard to match.

INTEGRATION

Bring your Salesforce data with you

Salesforce has a full REST API, Bulk API and robust Data Loader import/export, so two-way sync is feasible. ProHQ pulls leads and accounts in and pushes enriched delivery, field and finance status back as the process advances.

Need to keep Salesforce in the loop? We build that connector by hand during onboarding — which is why the beta is just twenty seats.

REACHING PARITY

Matching Salesforce, on the process engine

Where Salesforce leads today, here's what we're building — so it works offline and in the field too:

A custom-object/field builder so any entity can be modeled without code
Role-scoped real-time reports and dashboards per KPI
A connector library so common third-party tools plug in without custom work

THE VERDICT

The most powerful CRM money and consultants can buy — and it shows on both counts.

We'll tell you honestly whether ProHQ is the right move from Salesforce for how you work. That conversation is free.
