How to Choose a Partner to Set Up monday.com (and How to Verify Them Yourself)

If you're in need of help setting up monday.com, the goal is simple: find a certified partner with proven experience in your sector, a team that sticks around after go-live, and credentials you can verify yourself rather than take on trust. That's the standard we hold ourselves to at The SaaSy People, and it's worth holding any partner to as well. 

Here's how to think it through and verify any partner's status before you commit.

Setup is easy. Getting it right the first time takes experience.

Getting a monday.com account up and running takes a few clicks. Building a setup that actually matches how your teams work, connects to the tools you already use, and won't need to be reworked in six months takes experience. That's the real value a good partner brings, and it's worth being deliberate about who you choose.

Five things worth checking before you commit

A few questions help separate a strong partner from an average one:

What tier are they certified at? monday.com runs a partner programme with several tiers, from Bronze up to Platinum. Higher tiers reflect a track record of successful implementations and strong customer satisfaction scores.

Are their consultants direct hires or outsourced freelancers? This shapes continuity, data handling, and how well the person on your project actually knows it once you're live.

Do they have experience in your sector? A partner who's built monday CRM setups for sales teams, for example, will already know the common pitfalls.

What does support look like after go-live? Setup is only the start. Ask how they help with adoption, training, and ongoing optimisation once your team is actually using it day-to-day.

Do they hold certifications beyond monday.com? If monday.com needs to connect with your support or CX stack, a partner also certified in tools like Intercom, Fin AI, or Zendesk can build something that works with the rest of your systems, not just in isolation.

How to verify any partner's status yourself

You don't need to take a partner's word for their tier or certifications. monday.com's own partner directory lists every certified partner along with their tier, specialisms, and verified customer reviews, so you can check credentials directly before making a decision.

Where The SaaSy People fits

We're a UK and US-based monday.com Platinum Partner and Advanced Delivery Partner, certified monday CRM specialists, and were named monday.com's EMEA Partner of the Year. We also hold Fin (Intercom) Solution Partner of the Year recognition and Zendesk Advanced Partner status, alongside ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certification.

That combination means our consultants understand how a monday.com setup needs to connect with the customer support, sales, and service tools around it, not just monday.com on its own.

Every consultant on our team is a direct hire, based across our Birmingham, Reading, and Austin, Texas offices. We've delivered hundreds of monday.com implementations, migrations, and optimisations across Work Management, CRM, Sales, Dev, and Service for over 250 businesses worldwide.

What working with SaaSy looks like

We start by listening, not pitching. Your SaaSy Expert takes the time to understand your business and how you want to use monday.com before making any recommendations. From there, we design a setup around your actual workflows rather than a generic template, and we stay involved well past go-live to help your team get proper value from it.
