What is CRM custom development?
CRM custom development extends a CRM platform beyond standard configuration with custom objects, automation, user interface components, applications and portals. On Salesforce this means Flow, Apex and Lightning Web Components; on Dynamics 365, plug-ins, PCF controls, Power Apps and Power Automate; on SAP CX, side-by-side extensions on SAP BTP; and on Creatio, no-code apps with code only where needed. TechTiera builds extensions that stay supportable through platform upgrades.
