Coastal Cloud

In 2012, founders Tim Hale and Sara Stanley Hale recognized a critical gap in the Salesforce consulting landscape: organizations were investing heavily in Salesforce platforms but often lacked the internal expertise to truly maximize their return. They set out to build a consultancy that would not just implement technology, but genuinely transform how businesses operate and succeed.

Coastal began as a regional Salesforce consulting firm headquartered in Palm Coast, Florida, with a commitment to customer-first service and deep technical expertise. Over the years, the company grew from a small team of certified consultants into one of the most respected Salesforce partners globally, earning recognition as the only female-owned Platinum Salesforce consulting partner in the United States.

Today, Coastal stands as the #1 rated Salesforce consultancy, having completed over 8,000 projects for more than 1,700 organizations across diverse industries including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and public sector. The company has expanded its capabilities beyond traditional Salesforce implementation to encompass Snowflake data platforms, AI solutions, and comprehensive digital transformation services. In December 2025, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) announced its acquisition of Coastal for $700 million, positioning the firm for even greater global reach while maintaining its client-focused culture and commitment to delivering measurable business value.
