POLE Consulting

What POLE Consulting does

POLE Consulting is a boutique Salesforce consulting firm founded in 2021 in Stockholm, Sweden, specializing in implementation and customization of Salesforce CRM for medium-to-large enterprises. The firm operated with a team of approximately ten senior practitioners and was differentiated structurally by a non-pyramidal staffing model: every engagement was delivered by senior architects and developers rather than junior resources, eliminating the traditional consulting leverage model in favor of expert-led delivery. The service portfolio covered the major Salesforce product lines: Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Field Service, Analytics, Marketing Automation, Mobile solutions, Integration services, Customer Portal development, and AI Agent deployment, with activity in the Salesforce ecosystem tracing back to 2011 through the founding team.

Revenue was generated exclusively through professional services engagements (custom project-based pricing, no public rate card). Distribution relied on direct enterprise sales supported by a digital presence: the corporate website, a LinkedIn company page, and a listing in the Salesforce AppExchange consulting partner directory. Named reference customers included Clas Fixare (Clas Ohlson), Direktronik, Acast, Rahmqvist, Co-Ideation, and an unnamed private equity client, spanning retail, electronics, technology/media, and private equity. The firm was bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding and no institutional or private equity shareholders identified prior to the transaction below.

In May 2026, POLE Consulting was acquired by Nextview Consulting, a Dutch-origin European Salesforce partner. The four POLE founders transitioned into key roles within Nextview's Nordics organization, and the approximately ten practitioners joined a combined group of roughly 220 people across Europe. At the time of acquisition, POLE no longer operated as an independent entity.
