Why Every Salesforce User Needs an Audit & Optimization — Now

29 Jul 2025

In today’s hyper-digital, customer-obsessed business climate, Salesforce should be your most powerful asset—not your slowest bottleneck.

Yet, across countless client engagements, we see the same story repeat itself: organizations invest in Salesforce, scale quickly, and then quietly accept declining performance as “normal.” What they don’t realize is that bloated automation, redundant fields, and outdated security practices are silently draining time, budget, and customer satisfaction.

The Hidden Cost of Inaction

Let’s break the myth: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” doesn’t apply to enterprise technology. A sluggish Salesforce setup—even if functional—can:

  • Slow down your automation by over 40%
  • Introduce security vulnerabilities
  • Create licensing waste through unused or overlapping user access
  • Lower user adoption rates due to unnecessary complexity

In short? Your platform is operating below its potential, and that means lost revenue, lost trust, and lost time.

Why Auditing Matters — and What We Actually Do

Third Pillar’s Salesforce Audit & Optimization isn’t just a system sweep. It’s a surgical, insight-driven process that delivers tangible business results in as little as 4 weeks.

We assess your current implementation—code, configuration, user activity, licenses, validation rules, and more. Then we:

  • Migrate outdated automation (e.g., Process Builder → Flows) for faster compute
  • Clean up clutter from fields, layouts, and dashboards
  • Fix validation gaps that hurt your data quality
  • Streamline security through permission and profile audits
  • Optimize licenses to save on cost and maximize adoption

All findings are backed by Salesforce-native tools like Field Trip, Optimizer, and Security Check, along with our proprietary reporting framework.

You Don’t Need a 6-Month Project

That’s the power of a surgical audit. Unlike full reimplementations that take 6–9 months, our approach is agile and surgical: you’ll start seeing improvement in week 1—not quarter 2.

We’ve helped businesses increase automation speed up to 1.5x in under a month. And in more robust efforts, we’ve seen 5x improvements.

Why Third Pillar

We’re not just a vendor. We’re a Salesforce Summit partner with over 500+ successful projects. Our team includes certified architects, business analysts, and Salesforce veterans who have one goal: to maximize ROI for your technology investments.

Final Take

If you’re unsure whether your Salesforce is running at peak performance, you already have your answer. Don’t wait for a crash—or worse, a compliance issue—to start optimizing.
