What Are Salesforce / Force.com Development Services?
Force.com is Salesforce’s platform-as-a-service (PaaS) layer — the foundation on which businesses and independent software vendors build custom enterprise applications that run natively within the Salesforce environment. Unlike standalone web applications, Force.com apps inherit Salesforce’s enterprise-grade security model, multi-tenant infrastructure, built-in scalability, and deep integration with CRM data and workflows.
For businesses already operating on Salesforce, Force.com is the natural choice for extending the platform beyond standard functionality. Applications built on Force.com share the same data model, user interface, and security framework as your existing Salesforce implementation — eliminating the complexity and cost of maintaining separate infrastructure for custom tools.
For independent software vendors (ISVs), Force.com and the AppExchange marketplace represent one of the most powerful distribution channels in the enterprise software world — giving products access to Salesforce’s global customer base.Dhruvsoft’s Force.com development services are built around making this opportunity accessible to businesses at every stage of their Salesforce journey — whether you are building your first custom app or expanding a mature Salesforce environment with complex, integrated solutions.
Our Salesforce Development Capabilities
Dhruvsoft’s Force.com practice covers every phase of the application development lifecycle. Each service area is delivered by specialists with deep, hands-on Force.com expertise — not generalist developers learning on your project.
1. Requirements Analysis
A successful Force.com application starts with a clear, validated understanding of what needs to be built and why. Our requirements analysis service answers the foundational question — is Force.com the right platform for this application? — before any investment is committed to design or development.
Our business analysts work directly with your stakeholders to map existing processes, identify gaps, and define what a Force.com solution needs to deliver. The output is a formally documented set of requirements that drives every subsequent phase of the project.
Force.com Requirements Analysis services include:
- Process mapping and workflow documentation
- Business requirements analysis and user story definition
- Feasibility study — platform fit assessment for Force.com
- Prototype development for concept validation
- Cost-benefit analysis to support investment decisions
Nothing proceeds to design until requirements are documented, reviewed, and formally approved by your team. This checkpoint protects your investment and ensures that what gets built is what your business actually needs.
2. Design Services
Design is the foundation of every successful Force.com application. A poorly designed application — one with a fragile data model, a tangled security architecture, or a UI that does not reflect how users actually work — creates compounding problems throughout the application’s life. Rework is expensive. Technical debt accumulates. Integrations become difficult. User adoption suffers.
Dhruvsoft gives extra focus to the design phase precisely because we have seen what happens when it is rushed or skipped. Our Force.com design work produces applications that are highly customizable, integration-ready, and built to scale as your business evolves.
Force.com Design services include:
- Solution Design — translating business requirements into a coherent Salesforce solution architecture
- Architecture Design — data model, object relationships, automation framework, and integration architecture
- Technical Design — Apex design patterns, component architecture, API design, and security model
- User Experience Design — Lightning Experience UI, page layouts, navigation design, and mobile-first considerations
As with requirements, design deliverables are reviewed and approved by the client before development begins. No development work starts until the design is signed off — protecting the scope, budget, and delivery timelines.
3. Salesforce / Force.com Application Development
Dhruvsoft develops Force.com applications for businesses and enterprises with highly efficient, well-structured code. Our development team works exclusively on the Salesforce platform — bringing the pattern recognition, platform knowledge, and coding discipline that comes from years of focused Force.com development rather than generalist software engineering.
We develop to Salesforce’s best practices for governor limits, bulkification, security, and code coverage — ensuring that applications perform reliably under production load and pass Salesforce’s security review requirements for AppExchange publication where applicable.
Force.com Development services include:
- User Interface (UI) development in Lightning Experience using Lightning Web Components and Aura components
- Apex programming — classes, triggers, batch jobs, scheduled jobs, and queue-able processes
- Visualforce page development for legacy and specialist use cases
- Force.com Sites and portal development for external-facing applications
- Testing and debugging — Apex unit tests, code coverage, functional testing, and performance profiling
Every development sprint concludes with a client review checkpoint. You maintain visibility and control throughout the development process — not just at the beginning and end.
4. Deployment Services
Building a high-quality Force.com application is only part of the challenge. Deploying it correctly — whether to an internal Salesforce ORG, a client’s production environment, or the AppExchange marketplace — requires careful planning, environment management, and structured release processes.
Dhruvsoft manages the complete deployment process, including package preparation, AppExchange submission, post-deployment verification, user training, and integration configuration. We treat deployment as a structured project event — not a casual push — with rollback provisions and hyper-care support built in.
Force.com Deployment services include:
- Package apps — managed and unmanaged package preparation and versioning
- AppExchange deployment — submission, security review support, and listing management
- Deploy apps — production deployment via change sets, Salesforce DX, or CI/CD pipelines
- Manage packages — version management, subscriber org compatibility, and upgrade planning
- Training — end-user and administrator training for deployed applications
- Integration — post-deployment integration configuration and validation across connected systems
5. Salesforce / Force.com Development Methodology
Dhruvsoft uses Agile software development methodology across all Force.com engagements. The Agile approach is the right fit for Force.com development because it aligns naturally with the platform’s rapid iteration capabilities and with the reality that business requirements evolve throughout a project.
Our Agile delivery model uses adaptive planning, evolutionary development, and time-boxed iterative sprints to give clients faster time-to-value and greater flexibility to respond to change. Rather than delivering a large, monolithic release months into a project, we deliver working functionality in short cycles — giving your team early visibility into what is being built and the ability to provide feedback that shapes subsequent sprints.
Key characteristics of our Agile Force.com delivery approach:
- Time-boxed sprints (typically two weeks) with defined deliverables and review checkpoints
- Continuous client collaboration — your stakeholders are involved throughout, not just at kickoff and delivery
- Adaptive planning — scope is managed iteratively as understanding deepens
- Evolutionary development — features are built, tested, and refined incrementally
- Rapid response to change — new information or shifting priorities are absorbed into the project without derailing delivery
The result is faster turnaround, better quality, and a final product that genuinely reflects your evolved understanding of what the application needs to do — not just the requirements documented at the start of the project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Force.com development and standard Salesforce configuration?
Standard Salesforce configuration involves setting up the platform using point-and-click tools — creating fields, layouts, workflows, and reports without writing code. Force.com development goes further, using Apex code, Lightning Web Components, Visualforce, and the Force.com APIs to build custom functionality that cannot be achieved through configuration alone. Dhruvsoft handles both — and will always recommend the simpler approach when it meets your requirements.
Can you build applications for the AppExchange marketplace?
Yes. AppExchange app development is one of Dhruvsoft’s core specializations. We have built, packaged, and supported multiple AppExchange applications on behalf of ISV clients — handling the full process from development through managed packaging, Salesforce security review, and marketplace listing.
How does your delivery model handle communication and time zone differences for global clients?
Our project management framework is specifically designed for distributed, cross-time-zone delivery. Dedicated project managers own communication, daily and weekly touchpoints are built into every engagement, and our working hours are structured to maximize overlap with client teams across the USA, UK, Europe, and Australia. Clients consistently report that working with Dhruvsoft feels as transparent as working with an in-house team.
