We build, test, and publish native Salesforce apps on the AppExchange from managed package architecture to security review approval. Built for ISVs, SaaS companies, and enterprise teams.
Salesforce AppExchange development is the end-to-end process of designing, building, testing, and publishing a native Salesforce application to the AppExchange marketplace. It involves creating managed packages using Apex, Lightning Web Components (LWC), and Salesforce APIs then passing Salesforce's mandatory security review before the app is available for customers to install directly into their Salesforce orgs. Companies that build AppExchange apps include ISVs monetizing a SaaS product on the Salesforce platform, enterprises building internal tools for distribution across multiple orgs, and technology companies integrating their existing software with the Salesforce ecosystem.
From initial idea validation to post-launch optimization, we cover every phase of AppExchange development for ISVs and enterprise teams.
We architect and build second-generation managed packages (2GP) using the Salesforce CLI and source-driven development. Your IP is protected, updates push to all customer orgs seamlessly, and your package is built to pass security review on the first attempt.
Modern, performant UIs built with Lightning Web Components and the Salesforce Lightning Design System. Your app looks and feels like a native part of Salesforce not a third-party tool bolted on the side. Mobile-ready and accessibility-compliant.
Complex business logic, trigger frameworks, batch processing, and Salesforce governor limit-optimized code. We write Apex with full test coverage typically 90%+ to ensure your app is stable, performant, and ready for high-volume orgs.
The security review is where many AppExchange projects stall. We build with Salesforce's security requirements embedded from day one CRUD/FLS enforcement, SOQL injection prevention, sharing model compliance so your first submission is your last.
Getting listed is just the beginning. We help you write a listing that converts, set up demo orgs, configure licensing with the License Management App, optimize your AppExchange listing for search visibility, and craft a go-to-market plan for your first 100 installs.
Connect your AppExchange app to external services ERP systems, payment gateways, communication platforms, or your own SaaS backend. We build reliable, documented integrations using Salesforce Connect, Named Credentials, and REST/SOAP APIs.
Existing AppExchange app running slow or failing under load? We audit SOQL queries, bulk processing logic, LWC rendering performance, and API call patterns then optimize for enterprise-scale orgs with millions of records.
Build Agentforce-ready AppExchange apps with Einstein AI features embedded natively. We integrate Einstein GPT, Einstein Prediction Builder, and Agentforce prompts into your app to give customers AI-powered capabilities out of the box.
Managed packages require ongoing version management as Salesforce releases new APIs and deprecates old ones. We provide ongoing upgrade cycles, critical release reviews, and proactive compliance monitoring so your app stays listed and your customers stay happy.
A proven, step-by-step process that keeps your project on track, your code secure, and your security review submission predictable.
We start by understanding your app idea, target customer, and competitive landscape. We define the use cases your app needs to solve, identify the Salesforce objects and APIs it will interact with, and confirm whether a managed package (for commercial listing) or unmanaged package (for internal distribution) is the right approach. We also check whether your concept overlaps with existing AppExchange listings in ways that could affect market positioning.
Before a single line of code is written, we design the complete architecture. This includes the data model, sharing model, Apex class structure, LWC component hierarchy, and integration design. For commercial apps, we set up your Partner Community account, register your namespace, configure the Developer Edition orgs, and design the licensing model (per-user, per-org, tiered). Getting the architecture right at this stage prevents the costly mistakes that force teams to refactor managed packages mid-project.
Development happens in 2-week sprints. Each sprint delivers a working, testable increment of your app. We build using Apex, Lightning Web Components, and Salesforce Flow mixing declarative and programmatic approaches based on complexity. Security-first development means every Apex class enforces CRUD/FLS, every SOQL query uses WITH SECURITY_ENFORCED, and every component passes LockerService compliance. You see a demo at the end of every sprint. No surprises at the end of the project.
The AppExchange security review is mandatory for every listed app and it's where most projects stall. The typical first-pass failure rate in the industry is around 50%. We prepare your submission by running Salesforce's own scanning tools (Checkmarx, PMD, and the Security Scanner), manually reviewing every vulnerability category, fixing issues proactively, and preparing the required documentation. For paid apps, the security review costs $999 per submission failing and resubmitting means paying again. Our clients pass on the first attempt.
Once your security review is approved, we help you set up your AppExchange listing including listing copy optimized for AppExchange search, demo org configuration, screenshots, and pricing setup. We configure the License Management App (LMA) to track installations and customer licenses. We also help you build your go-to-market plan: how to get your first installs, which Salesforce partner programs to join, and how to collect reviews to build social proof.
We offer a free 30-minute AppExchange consultation no commitment, no sales pitch.
Every technology we use is native to Salesforce so your app works natively in every customer org without plugins, connectors, or external dependencies.
We work with ISVs, SaaS companies, and enterprises across a range of AppExchange development needs.
You have an existing product that serves Salesforce customers. You want to build a native Salesforce integration and list it on AppExchange to reach Salesforce's 150,000+ customer base. We build your managed package, pass the security review, and help you launch with a go-to-market plan that drives installs.
You have an idea for a Salesforce-native product a productivity tool, an industry-specific solution, or a vertical workflow app. We take you from validated concept to live AppExchange listing, including managed package architecture, development, security review, and AppExchange listing setup with the License Management App.
You manage multiple Salesforce orgs for different business units, subsidiaries, or regions and need to distribute a custom app consistently across all of them. A managed package lets you push updates to all orgs simultaneously without manual deployments or change sets.
Your app is already on AppExchange but it's built on legacy Visualforce and Aura, failing security reviews on newer API versions, or underperforming in large orgs. We audit the existing codebase, migrate to LWC and 2GP, resolve security findings, and bring the app back up to current Salesforce standards.
You have deep domain expertise and a validated product idea, but no Salesforce development team. We act as your product development partner from architecture through go-live handling all technical decisions, security review, and listing setup while you focus on customer acquisition and product strategy.
You offer an ERP, marketing platform, HR system, or analytics tool and want to build a native Salesforce integration that customers can install in one click. We build the managed package integration layer, connect it to your platform's APIs, and publish it on AppExchange as a free or paid listing.
Every app listed on the AppExchange must pass Salesforce's mandatory security review before going live. The review checks for code vulnerabilities, data security issues, and platform compliance failures. The industry average first-pass failure rate is approximately 50%. A failed review means a resubmission fee of $999 and another 6–8 weeks waiting.
We build with security requirements integrated from day one not bolted on at the end. Every Apex class enforces object and field-level security (CRUD/FLS), every dynamic SOQL query is injection-safe, every stored credential uses Named Credentials, and every component passes LockerService. We run Salesforce's own scanning tools continuously throughout development not just before submission.
CRUD/FLS Enforcement Every database operation checks object and field-level permissions before accessing or modifying data. This is the most common failure category in AppExchange reviews.
SOQL Injection Prevention Dynamic SOQL queries are parameterized and escaped. We never concatenate user input directly into query strings.
Sharing Model Compliance Every Apex class that touches user data declares with sharing. We never use without sharing unless there is a documented, legitimate reason.
XSS & CSRF Protection All Visualforce and LWC components use proper output encoding and CSRF tokens. User input is never rendered unescaped.
AI Feature Security Apps using Einstein AI or Agentforce are tested against Salesforce's expanded AI security review criteria, including data transparency, fairness, and responsible AI use standards.
There are many Salesforce development shops. Here's what specifically separates our AppExchange practice from the rest.
Most firms write the code first and patch security issues before submission. We enforce Salesforce security standards at every sprint review which is why we pass on the first attempt. Failing a review costs $999 and 6–8 weeks. Our clients don't pay that twice.
2GP is the modern Salesforce packaging standard source-driven, version-controlled, and built with the Salesforce CLI. We only use 1GP when there is a specific reason to do so. Your package will follow current Salesforce best practices, not patterns from 2015.
No account managers between you and the developer. The certified Salesforce architect who designs your package is the same person on your weekly call. You get direct access, fast answers, and no information lost in translation.
Every 2-week sprint ends with a live demo of working software. You see progress, give feedback, and course-correct early not after 3 months of development. The final delivery matches what you approved incrementally.
Most development firms stop at go-live. We help you optimize your AppExchange listing for search visibility, configure the LMA for license tracking, apply for the ISV Accelerate program, and build your plan to drive the first 100 installs.
We design every new AppExchange app with AI extensibility built in so when you're ready to add Einstein features or Agentforce capabilities to your product, you don't have to re-architect the entire package. AI-forward from the start.
