Rapid Salesforce implementation
A rapid Salesforce implementation is a fixed-scope, fixed-cost deployment built on proven patterns, designed to get you live in weeks rather than months without giving up governance or the ability to grow later.
FastStart is our structured approach to rapid Salesforce implementation, with a clear scope and agreed price before we start. It is delivered by the same certified UK team, to the same standards, using a streamlined version of the method we apply to larger Salesforce programmes.
Four weeks, start to live
FastStart compresses discovery, build, migration and training into four weeks. Timings are indicative and confirmed in week one against your data readiness and team availability.
Week 1
Discovery and design
A working session on your core processes, then a design your team signs off before anything is built.
Week 2
Build and configure
Proven core configuration applied to your processes, with the security model and governance set from day one rather than retrofitted later.
Week 3
Data and training
Your records cleansed and loaded, your people trained by role so the system is used from the first week.
Week 4
Go live, plus 30 days
We stay close through the first month, then hand over to a managed service plan or Flex24 hours.
What a rapid implementation involves
At C24, our goal is to help our customers achieve better business outcomes and maximise the value of their Salesforce solution. That is why we devised FastStart.
Rapid implementation is a streamlined approach to planning, designing, configuring, testing and deploying Salesforce to meet the specific needs of an organisation, with the goal of reaching the desired business outcomes in a shorter time frame. It is led by our team of Salesforce consultants, who work closely with you to understand your processes and requirements and then deliver a solution that is easy to use, maintain and scale.
What you get
A development roadmap aligned to your business objectives, a configuration built to industry best practice, a defined scope with clear deliverables, and a fixed cost agreed before we start.
What sits outside it
Complex custom development, multi-system integration programmes and regulated-industry compliance work. Where you need those, we say so and route you to a full implementation.
Who FastStart is for
FastStart is designed for small and medium sized businesses that need a Salesforce solution quickly. We help you determine your requirements and get you live to an agreed time and cost.
It also suits organisations that have run Salesforce for a while without using it to its full potential. In those cases we streamline the org and leave you with a system that is efficient, usable and fits how the business actually works.
FastStart or a full implementation?
We will tell you which one you are in the first conversation, including when it is neither.
FastStart fits
Small and medium teams with recognisable sales or service processes, a manageable data set, and a need to be live in weeks. Also orgs that have drifted and need a clean reset.
A full implementation fits
Complex data models, multiple integrations, regulated industries or multi-team rollouts. Taking the fast route here costs more later than it saves now.
Who you are hiring
A UK Salesforce partner since 2012, working through every platform expansion and three technology releases a year since.

Get a fixed price
A short scoping call is enough for us to confirm the price in writing, or to tell you that a full implementation is the better route.
Rapid Salesforce implementation: frequently asked questions
It is a fixed price agreed before we start, so there is no day-rate drift. The price depends on which Salesforce applications you need and how much data comes with you, and it is confirmed in writing after a short scoping call.
It is the same category of thing. QuickStart is the term several partners use for a templated rapid deployment. FastStart is ours, and the differences worth knowing are that the price is fixed rather than indicative, and that thirty days of aftercare is included rather than sold separately.
Live in weeks, not months. FastStart runs to four weeks. The exact schedule depends on data readiness and the availability of your team for training, both agreed in week one.
Thirty days of aftercare, then your choice of a managed service plan or Flex24 hours. Most FastStart clients move to Bronze or Silver.
No. It also suits organisations that have run Salesforce for years without getting value from it, where a structured reset is faster than picking apart what is there.
Complex custom development, multi-system integration programmes and regulated-industry compliance work sit outside FastStart. Where you need those, we say so and route you to a full implementation.
No. Some clients hand straight over to a C24 managed service and never hire one. Others use the thirty days of aftercare to bring their own person up to speed. The build is documented either way, so the choice stays open.
Then FastStart is probably the wrong route, and we will say so in the first conversation rather than three weeks in. Complex data models, multiple integrations and regulated requirements belong in a full implementation.
