What is Salesforce Lightning?  

Salesforce Lightning is Salesforce’s modern user experience platform and application development framework — built to replace the aging Classic interface with something genuinely designed for today’s digital workforce.

Lightning Experience provides an intuitive, component-based interface with fast page loads, intelligent navigation, and a layout that adapts naturally to how different users work. Behind the interface, the Lightning platform offers advanced automation through Salesforce Flow, AI-powered insights through Einstein, reusable Lightning Web Components for custom development, and continuous new capabilities delivered through Salesforce’s three annual platform releases.

Unlike Salesforce Classic — which receives minimal updates and is no longer the focus of Salesforce’s innovation investment — Lightning Experience is where all new Salesforce capabilities land first. Organizations still running Classic are already missing out on features their competitors may be leveraging, and that gap widens with every Salesforce release.

Salesforce has made clear that Lightning is the future of the platform. For organizations serious about maximizing their Salesforce ROI, the question is not whether to move to Lightning — it is when, and how to do it right.

Why Upgrade to Salesforce Lightning?  

The business case for migrating to Salesforce Lightning goes well beyond a refreshed interface. Organizations that make the transition consistently report measurable improvements in user adoption, operational efficiency, and reporting visibility.

Key advantages of Salesforce Lightning include:

  • Modern, intuitive user interface that reduces training time and accelerates new user onboarding
  • Increased user productivity through smarter navigation, Kanban views, Activity Timeline, and in-context data display
  • Salesforce Flow — the unified, powerful automation framework that replaces Workflow Rules and Process Builder
  • Lightning Web Components (LWC) — Salesforce’s modern, standards-based development framework for faster, more maintainable custom development
  • Einstein AI integration — built-in artificial intelligence for opportunity scoring, activity capture, and predictive analytics
  • Interactive dashboards and enhanced reporting with real-time refresh and drill-down capabilities
  • Mobile-first experience — fully optimized for smartphones and tablets without a separate app
  • Enhanced security model with improved permission sets, permission set groups, and data access controls
  • Continuous platform innovation — new features arrive in Lightning first, with Classic receiving no meaningful updates
  • Dynamic Forms and Dynamic Actions — context-sensitive page layouts that adapt to user roles and record data

Organizations that transition to Lightning typically experience higher user adoption rates, faster business processes, and better leadership visibility into pipeline and performance — outcomes that directly impact revenue and operational efficiency.

Our Salesforce Lightning Services  

Dhruvsoft offers a comprehensive range of Salesforce Lightning services covering every stage of the Lightning journey — from initial assessment through migration, implementation, custom development, optimization, and long-term support.

1. Salesforce Lightning Readiness Assessment  

A successful Lightning migration begins with a clear, honest picture of where your current Salesforce environment stands. Moving to Lightning without understanding your existing customizations, integrations, and technical dependencies is one of the most common reasons Lightning migrations run over time and budget.

Our Salesforce Lightning Readiness Assessment gives you exactly the visibility you need before committing to a migration. Our consultants perform a comprehensive evaluation of your existing Salesforce org, identify compatibility issues, quantify migration complexity, and produce a clear recommended roadmap.

Our Readiness Assessment covers:

  • Existing Salesforce org analysis and configuration review
  • Custom objects, fields, and page layout assessment
  • Apex code evaluation for Lightning compatibility
  • Visualforce page compatibility analysis
  • Third-party AppExchange application review
  • Workflow Rules and Process Builder assessment — migration path to Salesforce Flow
  • Security model and sharing architecture review
  • User experience evaluation and adoption risk assessment
  • Technical debt identification and remediation recommendations
  • Migration complexity scoring and effort estimation
  • Risk identification and mitigation strategies
  • Recommended implementation roadmap with milestones and timelines

At the end of the assessment, you receive a detailed report outlining migration recommendations, estimated effort, potential risks, and implementation best practices — everything you need to make an informed decision and plan a migration that succeeds.

2. Salesforce Lightning Migration Services  

Migrating from Salesforce Classic to Lightning is more than enabling a toggle in your org settings. It requires careful planning, methodical execution, and the experience to anticipate and resolve the issues that surface when Classic customizations meet Lightning’s rendering model.

Dhruvsoft’s Lightning migration service follows a structured, phased approach that minimizes disruption to your business while ensuring your organization can fully leverage Lightning from day one.

Our Lightning Migration services include:

  • Migration planning and project scoping
  • Environment assessment and pre-migration remediation
  • Lightning Experience enablement and configuration

  • Configuration updates — page layouts, record pages, apps, and navigation
  • User interface redesign for Lightning Experience
  • Visualforce page optimization and migration to Lightning alternatives
  • Custom application migration to Lightning-compatible components
  • Permission set and security model review
  • Testing and quality assurance — functional, integration, and UAT
  • Production deployment with rollback provisions
  • Post-go-live hyper-care and issue resolution support

We ensure business continuity throughout the migration process. Your teams keep working while we migrate — and when Lightning goes live, it is ready for them.

3. Salesforce Lightning Experience Implementation  

If you are implementing Salesforce Lightning for the first time — on a new Salesforce org or as part of a broader Salesforce adoption initiative — Dhruvsoft’s implementation consultants configure and deploy Lightning Experience according to your specific business requirements.

We do not apply a generic Lightning template and hand it over. We take time to understand how your teams work, what data they need at each stage of their processes, and how Lightning’s features — Dynamic Forms, Dynamic Actions, Sales Path, Activity Timeline, and more — can be configured to make their daily work faster and more effective.

Lightning Experience Implementation services include:

  • Lightning App Builder configuration and custom app design
  • Dynamic Forms setup — intelligent, context-sensitive record page layouts
  • Dynamic Actions configuration — role and context-aware action buttons
  • Record page optimization for each object and user profile
  • Custom Lightning apps for different business functions
  • Sales Cloud optimization — pipeline management, opportunity tracking, forecasting
  • Service Cloud implementation — case management, knowledge base, service console
  • Experience Cloud enhancements — customer and partner portals
  • Dashboard and report customization
  • User training and administrator enablement

4. Lightning Web Component (LWC) Development  

Lightning Web Components are Salesforce’s modern framework for building high-performance, reusable UI components and applications on the Salesforce Platform. LWC is built on web standards — HTML, JavaScript, and CSS — making it faster, more maintainable, and more compatible with modern development practices than the legacy Aura component framework it is designed to replace.

Dhruvsoft’s development team builds scalable, secure, and well-structured Lightning Web Components that improve user experience, extend platform functionality, and integrate cleanly with external systems — all while following Salesforce’s development best practices for governor limits, security, and code quality.

LWC Development services include:

  • Custom Lightning Web Components for specific business use cases
  • Reusable UI component libraries that accelerate future development
  • Business process applications built on the Salesforce Platform
  • Interactive dashboards and data visualization components
  • Customer and partner portal components
  • Internal business tools and workflow automation interfaces
  • Mobile-ready components optimized for Salesforce Mobile App
  • Custom forms, approval interfaces, and data capture tools
  • Integration components connecting Salesforce to external systems via REST and SOAP APIs

Every LWC solution is designed for performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability — not just to solve today’s problem but to remain an asset as your Salesforce environment evolves.

5. Salesforce Lightning Application Development  

Beyond individual components, Dhruvsoft builds full custom Lightning applications that simplify complex business operations, automate multi-step processes, and give teams the tools they need to work more effectively within Salesforce.

Lightning Application Development services include:

  • Custom CRM applications tailored to specific industry workflows
  • Industry-specific Salesforce solutions — manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, and retail
  • Internal business applications — HR, project management, resource planning
  • Approval process automation and multi-level workflow applications
  • Customer self-service portals built on Experience Cloud
  • Employee portals and internal collaboration tools
  • Service management applications for field and support teams
  • Sales automation tools — quoting, territory management, forecasting
  • Business intelligence dashboards with real-time reporting

6. Salesforce Lightning Optimization Services  

Already using Salesforce Lightning but not getting the results you expected? Many organizations go live with Lightning but never fully unlock its potential — running on sub-optimal page layouts, underused automation, poor adoption practices, or legacy technical debt that slows everything down.

Dhruvsoft’s Lightning Optimization service takes your existing implementation and makes it work the way Lightning is designed to — faster, smarter, and with higher user adoption.

Optimization services include:

  • Lightning page performance analysis and improvement
  • Record page and Lightning App redesign for usability
  • User experience enhancements based on adoption analytics

  • Automation review and consolidation — migrating Workflow Rules and Process Builder to Salesforce Flow
  • Salesforce Flow optimization and error handling improvements
  • Security and permission model enhancements
  • Technical debt reduction — code cleanup, component consolidation, dead code removal
  • User adoption strategy and change management support

7. AppExchange Lightning Conversion  

For ISVs and AppExchange Partners, the move from Classic-era architecture to Lightning-ready applications is both a technical requirement and a commercial necessity. Salesforce’s AppExchange increasingly favors Lightning-native applications, and customers expect Lightning-compatible solutions.

Dhruvsoft helps AppExchange partners modernize their applications for Lightning Experience — converting Visualforce pages to Lightning Web Components, optimizing managed packages, and preparing products for Salesforce’s security review.

  • App compatibility assessment and conversion roadmap
  • Visualforce page modernization to Lightning alternatives
  • LWC migration from Aura and Visualforce components
  • Managed package optimization and version management
  • User interface redesign for Lightning Experience standards
  • Salesforce security review preparation and remediation
  • Performance improvements for AppExchange listing requirements
  • AppExchange readiness assessment and submission support

Our Salesforce Lightning Implementation Process  

Dhruvsoft’s Lightning implementation methodology is structured to minimize risk while ensuring a high-quality, adoption-ready outcome. Every engagement follows the same eight-phase process — adapted in scope and timeline to the complexity of your specific implementation.

Our Salesforce Lightning Implementation Process

Phase 1: Discovery Workshop  

We start by understanding your business — objectives, pain points, current Salesforce usage, and the outcomes you are achieving with Lightning. This session sets the foundation for everything that follows and ensures our recommendations are grounded in your commercial reality.

Phase 2: Lightning Readiness Assessment  

We evaluate your existing Salesforce org for Lightning compatibility — reviewing customizations, integrations, Apex code, Visualforce pages, third-party apps, and technical dependencies. The output is a detailed assessment report with clear findings and recommendations.

Phase 3: Migration Roadmap  

Based on assessment findings, we produce a detailed implementation plan with milestones, timelines, resource requirements, and risk mitigation strategies. This roadmap serves as the project’s governing document — reviewed and approved by your team before any configuration or development begins.

Phase 4: Configuration and Development  

Our consultants configure Lightning Experience according to the approved design — setting up record pages, Dynamic Forms, Lightning apps, navigation, and any required custom Lightning Web Components or Apex development.

Phase 5: Testing and Validation  

Comprehensive testing is performed across functional scenarios, integration points, and user acceptance criteria. Your business stakeholders participate in User Acceptance Testing to validate that the Lightning environment behaves exactly as designed before it goes live.

Phase 6: User Training  

Lightning adoption does not happen by itself. We provide structured training for administrators and end users — covering Lightning navigation, new features, changed workflows, and how to get the most out of the platform’s capabilities.

Phase 7: Production Deployment  

The solution is deployed to production following Salesforce best practices — with a structured cut-over plan, rollback provisions, and go-live support to ensure a smooth transition with minimal disruption.

Phase 8: Hyper-care and Ongoing Support  

After deployment, we provide an active hyper-care period — monitoring system performance, resolving post-go-live issues quickly, and working with your team to address any adoption challenges. Beyond hyper-care, our ongoing support and managed services ensure your Lightning environment continues to improve over time.

Salesforce Classic vs Salesforce Lightning  

The table below summarizes the key differences between Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience across the dimensions that matter most for business performance.

Feature Salesforce Classic Salesforce Lightning
User Interface Traditional, dated layout Modern, responsive, and intuitive user experience
Performance Standard page load speeds Optimized component-based rendering for faster performance
Automation Workflow Rules and Process Builder Salesforce Flow – unified and more powerful automation platform
AI Capabilities Limited or unavailable Built-in Einstein AI for intelligent recommendations and automation
Dashboards Basic, static charts Interactive, real-time dashboards with enhanced analytics
Mobile Experience Limited mobile support Mobile-first, fully optimized user experience
Development Framework Visualforce pages Lightning Web Components (LWC)
Platform Innovation Minimal new updates Continuous innovation with every Salesforce release
Productivity Tools Basic task management Path, Kanban, Activity Timeline, Dynamic Forms, and more
Security & Compliance Standard security controls Enhanced security model, permissions, and governance features

The case for Lightning is clear across every dimension. Classic is a stable but stagnant platform. Lightning is where Salesforce’s innovation investment is concentrated — and where your organisation’s competitive advantage on the platform will be built.

Client Success: Manufacturing Company Lightning Migration  

The Challenge  

A mid-sized manufacturing company had been running Salesforce Classic for several years. The platform had grown organically — accumulating custom Visualforce pages, complex Workflow Rules, and a user interface that had fallen far behind what modern teams expected. User adoption was low. Sales managers lacked real-time pipeline visibility. Manual processes were creating bottlenecks that slowed the sales cycle.

What Dhruvsoft Did  

Dhruvsoft began with a Lightning Readiness Assessment to catalog all existing customizations and identify migration complexity. Based on the assessment findings, the team redesigned the user interface in Lightning Experience — replacing outdated Visualforce pages with purpose-built Lightning Web Components, consolidating overlapping Workflow Rules into streamlined Salesforce Flows, and reconfiguring the sales pipeline for Lightning’s Kanban and Sales Path tools.

User training was delivered for both administrators and the sales team prior to go-live, ensuring the team was confident in the new environment before Classic was turned off.

Business Outcomes  

  1. Significantly improved user experience — consistently rated higher in post-migration satisfaction surveys
  2. Faster sales cycle — automated hand-offs and Flow-driven processes reduce manual steps
  3. Increased user adoption — Lightning’s modern interface drove voluntary engagement from previously resistant users
  4. Better reporting visibility — sales leadership gained real-time pipeline dashboards replacing weekly manual reports
  5. Reduced manual effort — automation consolidation eliminated repetitive administrative tasks for the sales team

Frequently Asked Questions  

What are Salesforce Lightning Services?

Salesforce Lightning Services cover the full range of consulting, migration, implementation, development, and support work required to move to, build on, and maximize Salesforce Lightning Experience. Dhruvsoft’s services span readiness assessment, Classic-to-Lightning migration, Lightning Experience implementation, Lightning Web Component development, custom application development, performance optimization, and AppExchange Lightning conversion.

Why should I migrate from Salesforce Classic to Lightning?

Salesforce Classic is no longer receiving meaningful new features. Lightning is where all of Salesforce’s innovation investment goes — new automation tools, AI capabilities, productivity features, and development framework improvements all land in Lightning first. Staying on Classic means accepting a widening capability gap with every Salesforce release and increasing technical risk as the platform evolves away from the Classic model.

How long does a Lightning migration take?

Migration timelines depend on the size and complexity of your existing Salesforce org — specifically the volume of custom Visualforce pages, Apex code, third-party integrations, and automation rules that need to be assessed and migrated. Smaller, simpler organizations can complete migration within four to eight weeks. Complex enterprise implementations with extensive customization may require three to six months. Our Readiness Assessment produces a realistic timeline estimate specific to your environment.

What is a Lightning Readiness Assessment and do I need one?

A Lightning Readiness Assessment is a detailed technical evaluation of your current Salesforce org — identifying what is Lightning-compatible, what needs to be modified or rebuilt, and what the estimated effort and risk profile looks like. We strongly recommend an assessment before committing to a migration timeline or budget. Organizations that skip the assessment often encounter unexpected issues mid-migration that inflate cost and delay go-live.

Can my existing Visualforce pages and Apex code be migrated?

Most Apex code is compatible with Lightning without modification. Visualforce pages require more careful evaluation — some can be retained, some need to be optimized for Lightning rendering, and others are best rebuilt as Lightning Web Components. Our assessment process identifies the right approach for each component in your organization.

Will my existing integrations continue to work after migrating to Lightning?

In most cases, yes — API-based integrations are not affected by the Lightning migration because they operate at the Salesforce data layer rather than the interface layer. However, any integrations that embed or interact with Salesforce UI elements need to be reviewed and potentially updated. Our assessment covers all integration dependencies and identifies any compatibility issues before migration begins.

What are Lightning Web Components and why do they matter?

Lightning Web Components (LWC) are Salesforce’s modern standard for building custom UI components and applications on the platform. Built on HTML, JavaScript, and CSS web standards, LWC is faster to develop, easier to maintain, and more performant than the legacy Visualforce and Aura frameworks it replaces. If you have custom functionality built on Visualforce, migrating to LWC improves performance, reduces maintenance overhead, and future-proofs your development investment.

Do you provide training as part of a Lightning migration?

Yes. User training is a structured component of every Lightning migration engagement. We provide administrator training covering Lightning configuration, Flow management, and ongoing maintenance — and end-user training covering Lightning navigation, new features, and changed workflows. Training is delivered before go-live so your team is confident and productive from day one.

Do you offer support after the Lightning implementation is complete?

Yes. We provide a hyper-care period immediately after go-live for rapid issue resolution, followed by structured ongoing support covering bug fixes, Salesforce release management, feature enhancements, and periodic optimization reviews. Many clients engage Dhruvsoft on a managed services basis for continuous Lightning improvement.
