Salesforce keeps the records — Nomio keeps them honest.

Salesforce serves as the backbone of many businesses, tracking renewal dates, negotiated terms, and contract-driven obligations. But there’s one major flaw: Salesforce doesn’t verify whether any of this data is correct.

This means what’s recorded in Salesforce doesn’t always reflect the actual contract. Yet when a dispute arises or a clause needs enforcing, it’s the contract itself that matters – not what’s in your CRM.

Why contract data in Salesforce is unreliable

Salesforce entries often provide an incomplete or inaccurate reflection of what’s actually in the contract. This mismatch happens for a few key reasons:

1. Human error

Sales teams are often responsible for manually entering contract-related data into Salesforce. But a salesperson’s passion tends to lie in closing the next deal, not carefully interpreting the fine print of the last one.

As a result, critical contract terms are often entered incorrectly, inconsistently, or without full context, leading to unreliable records.

Inconsistent data entry leads to conflicting records

Contract data is entered, edited, and understood differently by different users. What one team member logs as “Auto-Renews,” another might write as “Rolls Over,” while a third skips the field entirely. Over time, these inconsistencies turn Salesforce into an unreliable mess.

Bespoke terms don’t fit into rigid CRM fields

High-value contracts often contain unique clauses that don’t map neatly to standard fields. Without a clear place for them, they end up buried in free-text fields or ad-hoc notes, making reporting impossible.

Errors go unnoticed and multiply

Once incorrect data is entered, there’s no automatic validation. If someone misreads a renewal date or enters the wrong payment term, that mistake persists until someone manually catches it or it comes back to bite.

Teams lose trust in Salesforce

When discrepancies pile up, teams start second-guessing the data, cross-checking contracts manually, and wasting time verifying information that should have been accurate in the first place.

The result? A CRM filled with unstructured, unreliable contract data that’s useless for decision-making, reporting, or even basic compliance checks.

2. The technical limitations of Salesforce

Even when data entry is done carefully, Salesforce itself isn’t designed to manage contract data reliably. It’s a CRM designed for sales workflows — not for capturing the complexities of legal agreements.

CRM fields are too rigid for contract nuances

Contracts often contain nuanced conditions that don’t fit neatly into predefined fields and dropdowns. Salesforce limits users to either oversimplifying this into a single field or burying the details in free-text fields, causing records to be inconsistent and making the full context easy to miss.

No audit trail to verify contract data

Salesforce lacks a way of checking recorded data against the actual agreement. If a liability cap, indemnity clause, or payment term is entered incorrectly, there’s no link to the relevant clause in the contract to confirm its accuracy.

Poor handling of contract structures

Contracts don’t exist in isolation. They’re linked to amendments, schedules, and dependencies, but Salesforce has no built-in way to track how MSAs govern SOWs or link amendments to the agreements they modify. This forces teams to manually piece contracts together, increasing the risk of missed obligations and misinterpretations.

Key dates must be manually entered

Many contracts don’t explicitly state key dates like initial term expiry or renewal deadlines. Instead, they must be calculated from other terms. Salesforce lacks the logic to interpret these relationships, meaning businesses rely on manual data entry and risk missing critical deadlines.

The result? Critical contract data is incomplete, unverified, and difficult to trust.

Nomio makes your Salesforce data reliable

Salesforce wasn’t built to handle legal data, but that doesn’t mean businesses have to work around its limitations. Nomio seamlessly integrates with Salesforce to ensure contract-related data is accurate, structured, and fully auditable, without disrupting your existing workflows.

Instead of forcing you to change how you work, Nomio fits within your existing Salesforce setup. Many businesses rely on highly customised configurations, and Nomio ensures contract data stays accurate and reliable without requiring an overhaul.

How Nomio transforms Salesforce into a system you can trust

Rather than working around Salesforce’s limitations, Nomio fixes them at the source.

We validate every data point

Every contract-related data point is verified against the original agreement, ensuring Salesforce reflects the actual terms. This prevents errors, misinterpretations, and missing information from slipping through the cracks.

Standardisation to eliminate inconsistency

Nomio develops clear, structured taxonomies that define exactly how different contract terms should be classified, structured, and recorded. Our expertise across thousands of customer agreements allows us to account for all manner of variations, exceptions and edge cases, ensuring contract data is always captured consistently. No more confusing free-text fields or ad-hoc data entry.

Contracts stay linked to your CRM

With a two-way integration, each contract in Nomio is tied directly to its corresponding Salesforce entry, creating a single source of truth across both systems.

With Nomio, what’s recorded in Salesforce can finally be relied on with confidence.

Case Study: Fixing a broken Salesforce contract database

A records management enterprise with over 10,000 agreements relied entirely on Salesforce to track contract data and manage customer accounts. But inconsistent data, missing fields, and unreliable entries made it impossible to:

  • Track renewal deadlines accurately
  • Flag non-standard contractual terms
  • Generate reliable reports for forecasting and compliance

Without clear visibility over their massive contract portfolio or confidence in their data, teams wasted time cross-checking agreements, verifying information and manually filling in gaps.

How Nomio fixed the problem

Nomio processed all 10,000+ of their agreements, validating and capturing up to 30 unique data points across every single contract. We designed a custom taxonomy that structured their contract data properly, eliminating inconsistencies without disrupting their existing CRM setup. Every document — including amendments, addendums, and dependencies — was correctly linked and organised, bringing total clarity to their contract portfolio.

To bridge the gap between Nomio and Salesforce, we built a seamless two-way integration that kept both systems in sync. Verified contract data was pushed from Nomio into Salesforce, while key Salesforce identifiers were captured in Nomio, ensuring a direct connection between the two systems.

Now, every contract in our customer’s Salesforce is backed by verified, structured data that their team can trust.

Nomio is the missing piece, not the replacement

Salesforce is the engine that powers your business. But just as an engine requires clean fuel, your CRM requires accurate contract data to run properly.

Nomio ensures what’s in Salesforce isn’t just recorded — it’s correct. You keep the workflows, automation, and insights that make Salesforce valuable, without the risk of unreliable data.

With Nomio, Salesforce becomes what it was meant to be: a system you can trust.
