Why Cloud Hikers?
Cloud Hikers helps sales leaders in construction hire services get more out of Salesforce, fast.
If your team says things like “Creating quotes is a nightmare,” or “We’re still jumping between five systems to close a deal,” you’re not alone. We fix that.
​
Our onshore team works side-by-side with yours to clean up messy, duplicate-filled pipelines, remove admin that slows reps down, and give you a single, trusted view of your sales process from lead to cash. Whether you’re battling scattered data, low CRM adoption, inflated forecasts, or pipeline blind spots, we turn Salesforce into the revenue engine it was meant to be.
​
At the heart of our approach is CHAMPS, our AI-powered suite of Sales and Marketing Agents purpose-built for construction. CHAMPS turns project data into qualified, project-based leads, routes them instantly to the right reps, and powers personalised outreach at scale. We've experience working with some of the major vendors (e.g. Glenigan, Byggfakta, Barbour ABI) meaning we can delivery results fast. Backed by a pre-built data model and automation layer, it’s everything your team needs to grow, without adding tech overhead.
​
The results? 5× pipeline. 10× user adoption. £100k+ in license savings.

You're not alone - and help is at hand.
¨Buying the right software is just an early step in the right direction on your digital transformation journey. Think of it like buying a gym subscription. The gym has all the equipment you need to become your best self. But do you know how to use all the equipment? Are you going to make that sustained commitment over time? Investing in a personal trainer ensures you get maximum value from your subscription by:
-
Setting a tailored, ambitious plan
-
Holding you to account
-
Keeping you motivated
-
Avoiding injury with good technique and proper use of equipment
​
It’s the same with your software investment. Licenses alone don’t deliver results. Cloud Hikers are the personal trainers on your digital transformation journey. Our experts guide you to get the ROI from your CRM, turning your tech stack into your competitive advantage.​¨

Why Do So Many Implementations Go Wrong?
You've already partnered with a Systems Integrator (SI). You've bought your software licenses. You and your team are fully engaged. Excellent - you're doing your part.
But many months in, you're not seeing results.
​
Budget burn-down suggests that go-live is either going to be short of an MVP or delayed. Either way, your reputation takes a hit and your business is stuck with yesterday's tech.​
​
Most SIs use offshore outsourced models to appear to be competitive on price. Cloud Hikers doesn't play that game - and we don't want to.
Many of our clients find that the offshore outsourced model isn't the right fit. Unless your implementation team is around 100+ people, the scale isn't there to justify this approach.
In fact, it exposes the weaknesses. Outsourcing to offshore is heavily dependent on strong onshore skills:
-
Solution architecture and functional consulting expertise: resulting in target-state end-to-end business processes and well-formulated requirements (well documented, and not just accepting the status quo)
-
In-person stakeholder engagement: from kick-off, to discovery workshops, demos, user acceptance testing, training, floor-walking, support, and adoption, there's simply no substitute for in-person collaboration
What Makes Cloud Hikers Different?
With Cloud Hikers, we take a cradle-to-grave approach that avoids the errors, inefficiencies, hand-offs, and bloated headcounts that offshore outsourced models demand.
A small team of experts.
Fast delivery.
High quality.
Real results.
And in the long run — often cheaper
Simplify complexity
Getting results from your systems means understanding how to make them work together and how to design each to the best of their abilities. This architecture diagram may look complex but we know this like the back of our hands. We understand the systems and the data models. We simplify. We implement fast. We deliver measurable results.
