Architech Solutions is a certified Salesforce.com developer. We work with Toronto-area organizations that want to harness the power of cloud computing and benefit from its enormous cost advantages.

We offer Toronto-area organizations our experience and expertise with Salesforce CRM automation, which they can use to achieve the next level of success. Specifically, we help with:

  • Managing the sales process more efficiently.
  • Delivering faster customer service across all channels.
  • Marketing to the right people and measuring the results.
  • Developing custom apps that differentiate your business from its competitors.

When the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario (HSFO) wanted to automate the end-to-end execution of their annual Big Bike campaign, we built a custom software application on the Salesforce.com platform that was a great success.
