The Salesforce AppExchange is more than a storefront—it is where many enterprises validate security posture, release cadence, and support channels before they let a package touch production. Shipyard Intel's listing is the starting point for admins who want a governed install path instead of unmanaged custom objects copied from a spreadsheet template.
Installing from AppExchange does not mean you lose flexibility. Managed packages can expose extension hooks, custom metadata, and subscriber-controlled fields so your maritime program still reflects your flag, class, and internal naming conventions. Our documentation describes which components are packaged versus configured post-install.
What admins should verify before install
- Target Salesforce edition and API limits—especially if you plan heavy mobile or integration traffic from shipboard systems.
- Sandbox promotion strategy: install in a full copy sandbox first, run UAT with realistic volumes, then schedule production change windows.
- Identity model: whether crew or contractors authenticate through Experience Cloud, SSO, or delegated authentication—and how that maps to licenses.
- Data residency and encryption expectations for personally identifiable crew data versus anonymized operational metrics.
Security review and updates
Salesforce's security review process is a baseline, not the end of your own governance. We publish release notes with each package version, highlight breaking schema changes early, and recommend subscribing to our release communication if you run change-advisory boards quarterly.
For maritime-specific risk context—especially where OT/IT boundaries blur—pair this install with our maritime cyber basics article for crew and operations stakeholders.
When professional services make sense
Some customers self-implement from the listing; others want Shipyard Intel solutions engineers to map objects to legacy systems, migrate historical certificates, and train Salesforce admins on maritime semantics. Either path is valid—the listing is not a wall between you and help.
If you are evaluating alongside custom build vs. buy, read Salesforce-native maritime operations for a frank discussion of total cost of ownership.

Frequently asked questions
Can we uninstall cleanly? Yes, following Salesforce uninstall prerequisites (remove dependent metadata first). We document order of operations in release notes.
Do you support Government Cloud? Roadmap-dependent—ask during demo if your tenant must live on GCC regions; constraints vary by agency program.
What licenses are required? Depends on features used (Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Experience Cloud, Platform). We provide a license matrix during scoping.
