How to choose a nearshore Salesforce partner

In short: before choosing a nearshore Salesforce partner, get six things in writing: a certified in-house team, US-hours overlap, experience in your cloud, ERP integration, a phased scope, and support after go-live with US invoicing.

Six criteria

1. A certified team of its own

Ask for the names and Salesforce certifications of the people who will work on your project, not only the partner badge. Confirm they are employees, not subcontractors.

2. US hours and English

Nearshore only works if the team overlaps your working day. Ask which US time zones they cover and who leads communication in English.

3. Experience in your cloud

Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, Data Cloud and Agentforce need different profiles. Ask for cases in the same cloud and industry.

4. ERP integration

Most projects connect Salesforce with SAP or another ERP for accounts, orders and invoices. Ask who builds the integration and who answers when it fails.

5. Written, phased scope

A good partner delivers a scope with phases, deliverables and acceptance criteria before work starts.

6. Support after go-live and US invoicing

Ask how incidents and enhancements are handled after launch, with severity response times, monthly reporting and invoicing from a US entity.

Questions to ask before signing

  1. Who are the assigned people and which Salesforce certifications do they hold?
  2. Which US time zones does the team cover?
  3. Which cases do you have in my cloud and industry?
  4. Who builds the ERP integration and who answers when it fails?
  5. How does support work after go-live and what do you report each month?
  6. Do you invoice from a US entity?

FAQ

How do I choose a nearshore Salesforce partner?

Check for a certified in-house team, US-hours overlap, experience in your cloud, ERP integration capability, a written phased scope, and support after go-live with US invoicing.

What is the difference between Salesforce implementation and support?

Implementation configures Salesforce for your operation and migrates data. Support, or AMS, handles incidents, users and monthly enhancements once the system is live.

Which nearshore Salesforce partner works with US companies?

Discovery Partners is a Salesforce Consulting Partner with teams in Latin America that work US hours and invoice from the US. It implements, integrates with SAP and supports Sales, Service, Marketing and Data Cloud and Agentforce.

How long does a Salesforce implementation take?

A Sales or Service Cloud with a clear scope usually takes 8 to 12 weeks; with SAP or ERP integration, 12 to 20. Data and internal decisions drive the timeline more than the tool.

What should a Salesforce partner proposal include?

Written scope, phases with deliverables, who does what, a data plan, testing, training and what happens after go-live.

Why choose a nearshore partner over offshore?

Overlapping time zones, Spanish and English, and travel within a few hours, so issues get solved the same working day.
