How long does CRM setup take?

It depends on the platform. Salesforce: 3-6 months. HubSpot: 4-8 weeks. Microsoft Dynamics: 4-12 months. Rapitek CRM: 2-4 weeks. Rapitek achieves this with pre-built templates and a dedicated implementation team.

Why does Rapitek CRM set up in 2-4 weeks?

Three reasons: 1) Pre-configured industry templates eliminate building from scratch. 2) Dedicated implementation team with 200+ project experience. 3) Customization-included approach means no back-and-forth with vendors.

How long does CRM data migration take?

Simple data (Excel/CSV): 1-3 days. CRM-to-CRM: 1-2 weeks. Complex multi-source: 2-3 weeks. Data migration runs in parallel with system configuration, so it does not add to total timeline.

Can we run the existing system in parallel during CRM setup?

Yes. We recommend 1-2 weeks of parallel operation. Your team uses both systems during this period. Once validated, we complete the switch. No business disruption.

How long does CRM training take?

Initial training: 1-2 days for basic users, 3-5 days for admins. Training happens during the implementation period, so it does not extend the timeline. Ongoing support is included.

Does ERP integration extend setup time?

Standard ERP integrations (Logo, Netsis, SAP) add 0-1 weeks because we have pre-built connectors. Custom integrations may add 1-2 weeks depending on complexity.

Why do traditional CRMs take so long?

Common delays: vendor bureaucracy, license procurement, complex configuration, lack of industry templates, multiple stakeholder approvals, and reliance on external consultants. Rapitek eliminates all these bottlenecks.

How much does CRM setup delay impact cost?

Every month of delayed CRM costs businesses in lost productivity, missed follow-ups, and inaccurate forecasting. Studies show that each month of delay costs 5-10% of potential CRM ROI.

Why Do Traditional CRM Setups Take So Long?

Complex Approval Processes

On platforms like Salesforce, the vendor-partner-consultant chain extends licensing and project approvals to 2-4 weeks. With Rapitek, you work directly with our team and start in 1 day.

External Consultant Dependency

Finding an external consultant for Salesforce setup, contracting, and knowledge transfer takes 2-6 weeks. At Rapitek, our experienced team works with you from start to finish.

Data Cleaning Drama

Most companies have data scattered across Excel, email, and various systems. Data cleaning and standardization can take 4-8 weeks. The Rapitek team handles this in 3-5 days.

ERP Integration Ordeal

Logo/Netsis integration on Salesforce is purchased separately from AppExchange, and setup takes 4-12 weeks. At Rapitek, ready-made integrations are included in the setup fee and work in 3-5 days.

Endless Customization Debates

Every customization request requires a separate evaluation, price quote, and approval. Things drag on for weeks and months. At Rapitek, reasonable customizations are already included in the setup fee.

Slow Support Responses

Salesforce support tickets take 2-5 business days to get a response; even critical issues are put on hold. At Rapitek, you get a response via WhatsApp in 10 minutes, keeping projects on track.
