A Salesforce-native customer onboarding tool runs inside your Salesforce org as an installed app, so onboarding projects, tasks, and milestones are stored as Salesforce records rather than synced from a separate system.
TaskRay is built this way. It installs as a managed package, and onboarding projects inherit the permission sets, sharing rules, and reports already set up in your org.
Most teams automate onboarding by starting a project when an opportunity moves to closed-won, then running it from a reusable template so every customer follows the same steps.
In TaskRay, one Flow automation can auto-launch an onboarding project from the closed-won opportunity and carry the account and product details across, so no one re-enters them.
Look for reusable project templates, task and milestone tracking, a way for customers to see their own progress, risk tracking, and reporting on time to go-live.
TaskRay covers these inside Salesforce: project templates, Gantt and Kanban views, RAID tracking, a customer collaboration portal that doesn't need a Salesforce license, and portfolio dashboards built in standard Salesforce Reports.
Standalone onboarding tools keep data in their own database and sync it to Salesforce through a connector that has to be configured and maintained.
TaskRay stores onboarding data in Salesforce itself, so there is no sync to break, and sales, delivery, and success teams work from the same customer record. It is built for teams already running on Salesforce. Teams that are not on Salesforce are better served by a standalone tool.
