Did you know there’s a one-stop-shop for your business app needs too? With Salesforce’s AppExchange, you can find the tools to manage — and grow — your small business.
And with thousands of apps to choose from, it’s easy to get a little overwhelmed. So we’ve eliminated some of the guesswork and pulled our favorite Salesforce apps for small businesses. Each of these is readily available through the Salesforce AppExchange and can help you streamline, automate, and generally take control of your day.
Corral Your Data
1. RingLead Field Trip
With 4.5 stars and nearly 250 reviews, RingLead is a tried-and-true option when you need to easily analyze your data — and data gaps. This free app allows you to analyze the overall completeness of your data by reviewing the fields of any object and quickly determining what percentage of your records are empty.
2. Rollup Helper
Rollup Helper allows you to roll up data using clicks — not code. Your resulting data can be used in real-time for your company and results can be used in workflow or validation rules and formula fields. You’re able to create intelligent, data-driven workflows and mission-critical reports. In the free edition, you have access to three rollups, thirty pre-canned data filters, and both real-time and scheduled rollup functionality.
3. Duplicate Check
Keep your data clean with Duplicate Check for Salesforce. This free app doesn’t require any data transfer and works natively within your system. Duplicate Check finds duplicate records across different objects, which can save your team time and reduce the risk of reaching out to a “new” lead who has already been in your system and engaging with your company. This takes a two-fold approach by finding and merging duplicates and preventing duplication from manual entry, import, and API insert.
4. Mass Edit + Mass Update + Mass Delete
This free app is perfect for when you need to do a lot at once. Mass Edit + Mass Update + Mass Delete allows you to create multiple tasks for multiple Leads, Accounts, Opportunities, and Cases.

This app starts at $20 per month and facilitates Salesforce integration with more than 600 different apps, including email, social media, timekeeping, project management and more.
