This connector isn’t simply one among the myriad cookie-cutter bridging options available to companies considering a move from a legacy CRM system to Salesforce; it’s a custom-crafted differentiator built by global leaders in both solutions who know the ins and outs of those systems forward and backward.

—User & Client Migration Manager

Parallel Platforms

Run Pivotal and Salesforce in 'parallel processing' during your migration for as long as you need to.

User Transition

Incrementally migrate your users to the new platform at the speed and in the way that's best for them, causing minimum disruption to your business operations.

Migration Security

Ensure that the safety and security of your data and your business come first at every step of the process—you decide the speed of migration, how long to run parallel operations, what tests should be run (and for how long) prior to cut-over, and finally, when to move your users and operations exclusively to the new platform.

Field Mapping

Easily map most fields using Excel or Google Sheets. If complex mapping is required, it can be coded in C# as a Pivotal custom server task.

Data Accuracy

Ensure that as soon as information is updated or modified in either system—Pivotal or Salesforce—it's changed in the other as well, using bi-directional sync, in near-real-time.

”My Tokara consultant and his team understand me, our company, and what we need from our Salesforce org. They've exceeded all my expectations.

Chief Technology Officer, Fine Arts Retailer

Two-Way Sync

Automatic, bi-directional, near-real-time sync using Pivotal scheduled script service means every time a data point is changed in one platform, it's also changed in the other, so you know you're always using the most up-to-date information.

Unlimited Objects

While running time may be affected by the number of synced objects, there is no limit on the number of objects that may be synced between the two platforms.

Data Logging

Built-in logging and error handling can deliver information into a file or SQL database table, so you can create automated queries within SQL server to pull errors rather than searching through log files.

Lightweight Connection

The Pivotal-Salesforce Connector communicates with Salesforce using its REST API, taking advantage of its simple HTTP calls for inter-machine communication rather than using more complex options.

Records Filtering

The Pivotal-Salesforce Connector interface allows you to easily filter which records you do and do not want to transfer (i.e., you could limit the transfer to only closed opportunities, companies in New York, etc).

Flexible Data Transfer

With the Pivotal-Salesforce Connector, the originating system can pull data from multiple objects/tables and place the results into a single object or table. Dropdown fields allow you to select which Pivotal tables and fields you want to map.

Transformative Analytics

Combine the benefits of Pivotal's BI tools (helping users analyze data to find patterns and trends in customer behavior) with Marketo's visibility into marketing campaigns, so teams can track the success of current projects and adjust future planning and execution based on behavioral data.

Faster Response Times

Gain greater insight into customer activity to more quickly distribute and track leads with sales teams, speeding the sales process and reducing lag time.

Higher User Adoption

Effortlessly connect user efforts across Pivotal and Marketo, saving and adjusting their work as needed and delivering the usability required to ensure they integrate both solutions into their daily routines.

Detailed Lead Tracking

Access client contact information and monitor their activity, tracking and analyzing leads from sources including cold calls, web clicks, emails, social media, and events, for a 360-degree view of campaign success.

Bi-Directional Sync

Ensure that as soon as information is updated or modified in either system—Pivotal or Marketo—it's changed in the other as well, using bi-directional sync, in near-real-time.

Poll-Based Sync

Configure settings to enable time-based syncing at custom intervals, knowing that regardless of time interval or duration chosen, feedback and syncing take place in near-real time.

Post-Sync Updates

See a visual dashboard overview of all changes/updates made in both Pivotal and Marketo since the user's last visit.

Lead Scoring & Nurturing

Automatically assign a “lead score” from Marketo as leads are integrated between platforms, based on prospect behavior and likelihood of conversion.

Data Logging

Keep track of every change as data and insights are shared between Marketo and Pivotal, automatically logging the data to clearly show what was transferred.

Duplicate Check

Use integrated duplicate check tools to ensure the same lead isn’t entered more than once in either Pivotal or Marketo to avoid creating bad data in the system; you can also keep both records, if required.

Field Mapping

Use the flexible field mapping tool to enable Marketo even custom fields to be mapped to Pivotal fields, and vice versa, as needed.

Connector

”Our sales reps spend at least 1/3 of their time in email, so connecting them to it from within our CRM just makes good business sense—it's more efficient, they're more productive, and you get more closed deals.

Better Data Accuracy

Reduce the risk of bad data making it into your systems—potentially jeopardizing customer and prospect relationships and sales—by removing the requirement for error-prone duplicate data entry between CRM and email systems.

Stronger Customer Relationships
