Introduction to Plauti Desktop

Last published at: July 25th, 2025

Welcome to Plauti Desktop!

Expected release date: August 11, 2025

Plauti Desktop is an app that offers Plauti's services, hosted on your own machine. Currently it provides performance-enhancing services for Plauti Deduplicate for Salesforce and MS Dynamics, such as running Deduplicate and Search Index jobs, and an independent Data Flows service for bulk importing data into Salesforce and MS Dynamics, and bulk exporting from Salesforce. In the near future more services will be added.

Plauti Desktop for Deduplicate Jobs

For Plauti Deduplicate, Plauti Desktop replaces the well-known DC Local app. Just like DC Local, Plauti Desktop uses the processing power of your local device to run Deduplicate and Search Index jobs. Particularly for larger Deduplicate jobs, processing will be remarkably faster. 
When you manually or automatically start a Deduplicate job in Plauti Desktop, encrypted records in Salesforce or MS Dynamics are downloaded via a secured connection, and temporarily stored on your local machine until all duplicate results are found. When the job is finished, results are pushed back to Salesforce or MS Dynamics, where you can review the results and execute an (automatic) merge or convert. The encrypted records will automatically be removed from your local device, keeping it 100% safe and secure. 

Import and Export Data

The Import and Export Data Flows feature is a standalone service (not tied to Plauti Deduplicate). Import CSV or Excel files of any size into a Salesforce or Dynamics environment, with support for any Object or Entity type, and handy features like previous mapping memory. Perfect for data migration projects. In the same vein, export a CSV file with data from a Salesforce object or a subset of records, from selected fields including parent fields. Exporting for MS Dynamics, as well as other data processing options, will be available soon.

Plauti Desktop features

Plauti Desktop has some features of its own, such as Connections and Notifications. You can set up Connections to let Plauti Desktop communicate with multiple Salesforce Orgs and MS Dynamics environments. 
For a quick tour of Plauti Desktop, simply open Plauti Desktop after you installed it. Log in with your Salesforce Production or Dynamics 365 account, and click Show me around to follow the guided tour steps. 

Compatibility

Plauti Desktop is an application that can be installed on a Windows or MacOS laptop or computer. It runs on the same machine as where you use Salesforce or MS Dynamics. If you want to install it on a different machine, for example to host the app for multiple users, use Plauti Server instead.

For Plauti Deduplicate, Plauti Desktop is available for the Plauti Deduplicate Advanced and Premium editions. Furthermore, Plauti Desktop is compatible with all Salesforce editions, except for the Plauti Deduplicate Auto Merge feature. To use Plauti Deduplicate Auto Merge via Plauti Desktop, Salesforce Enterprise or higher is required.

Currently not fully supported by Plauti Desktop

  • Scheduled Jobs for Plauti Deduplicate are only supported if you are also using Plauti Server.
    Generally speaking, it is recommended to use DC Local Server Mode‍ or Plauti Cloud‍ for Scheduled Jobs.
  • Running multiple jobs. Plauti Desktop can queue multiple jobs from multiple Orgs and Environments, but it can only process one job at a time. For running several jobs concurrently, use Plauti Cloud instead.
