We often refer to BREeze, our oldest app, as our “swiss army knife” because it’s really…
First, let me apologize, as this post is long overdue. Salesforce CMS went GA in Winter ’20, which was in October of 2019. You deserve better; if this was a real relationship, I would have sent flowers and chocolate-covered strawberries. But unfortunately for you (and fortunately for me), this is…

I'm a pretty avid reader, but I tend to read mostly science fiction, fantasy, and weird fiction (although during the pandemic I've broadened out a bit into more standard fiction). For me, reading is the way I shut off my brain from work and exercise it a different way. Due…
Big Data. Sensitive Data. Stolen Data. It seems like everyone is talking about data lately, and with good reason! According to Forbes in 2018, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created each day. I honestly can’t wrap my head around the enormity of that number, but imagine 3 years later…

Have you ever wondered what life is like as a consultant working with Salesforce day in and day out? Are you looking for a team of people who are also obsessed with Salesforce (and not afraid to admit it)? Have you been enjoying working in fuzzy slippers over the past…
If you've been reading our recent blog series recapping the Spring '21 Salesforce release, you know that Salesforce has been renaming a lot of products lately. What's in a name? I'm having flashbacks to high school English class and Romeo & Juliet...ok, really I'm just thinking about Leonardo DiCaprio, who…
Despite all of the challenges in 2020, we were able to have a very exciting year here at Gears and we're looking to build on that in 2021 and have our biggest year yet. We have a lot of ambitious plans for the year and to get there we are…

Spring 21 starts hitting instances this weekend and this is our 7th and last release write-up!

We're 2 weeks away from Spring 21 beginning to hit everyone's Salesforce instance and we're down to our last two blog posts about it. This is a pretty monster release and we're doing more break-outs than we typically do. We've already done the main posts around Sales Cloud and Service…
