WHAT THYNK REPLACES

Many Momentus modules.
One Thynk platform.

Momentus has grown by accretion – many modules, developed at different stages, on different technologies, not all aligned. Thynk is one platform: one data model, one user experience, one technology stack across sales, operations, exhibitions and finance.

Diagram: many Momentus modules on different technologies on the left, replaced by Thynk's unified Salesforce-native platform on the right.

One Salesforce-native platform replaces a patchwork of Momentus modules built across decades and technologies. No internal integration seams, one source of truth across sales, operations, exhibitions and finance.

Where Thynk leads – five structural arguments.

Not features. Architecture.

ARGUMENT 01

CRM is the platform – not a side-car.

Momentus has a CRM. Thynk is a CRM – Salesforce. Every interaction lives on the contact record. Sales activities, tasks, emails, LinkedIn messages, Outlook captures – all native, all unified, all retained for the life of the relationship.

ARGUMENT 02

AI is institutional, not individual.

Momentus is a conversational AI built on top of an undisclosed platform foundation. Thynk is the institutional layer that any conversational AI – or non-conversational AI – can run safely on top of.

ARGUMENT 03

Purpose-built portals included.

Member, Direct, webshop, Supplier, Ops – all part of the platform. Each is a real product with its own UI, security model, configuration scope. Most competitors charge separately for two of these – and don't ship the others at all.

ARGUMENT 04

Open data model.

Hundreds of Salesforce objects, thousands of fields, public OpenAPI specification. Your data is your strategic asset. We document everything. We export anything. There is no black-box schema between you and your records.

ARGUMENT 05

Migration credibility.

The Thynk team brings years of direct Momentus expertise – in delivery, sales and project leadership. When you migrate from Momentus to Thynk, you migrate to people who personally built the system you are leaving.

A structural difference:
Momentus is Individual AI. Thynk is the institution underneath.

Under the Institutional AI framework that the venture industry has converged on in 2026, every public artefact Momentus has shipped sits on the Individual AI side of the line.

The point is not that Momentus is bad. The point is structural: Momentus is a chatbot. Thynk is the institutional layer underneath the chatbot.

HONEST DISCLOSURES

Where Momentus is currently stronger.

Saying so is itself a credibility move. We don't win deals by hiding facts.

DISCLOSURE 01

30 years of accumulated venue features.

Momentus has been built since the 1980s. There are niche features – such as cheque management or inventory valuation – that Momentus has and Thynk does not. We are honest about this and configure around it on a customer-by-customer basis.

DISCLOSURE 02

APAC and US scale today.

Momentus has more deployments in APAC and the US. Thynk's footprint there is growing, but Europe is currently our centre of gravity.

DISCLOSURE 03

Full financial management.

Momentus manages more of the finance stack natively – down to general accounting. Thynk covers venue commercial finance – billing, multi-currency, payments – then integrates with your best-of-breed ERP or finance suite through its open data model, rather than trying to be your accounting system. That's deliberate: a dedicated finance platform is more modern, more automated and better connected than accounting built into a venue system – so integration usually gives you a stronger finance stack.

When you decide to move,
you'll move with people who built what you're leaving.

No vendor migrating you off Momentus has more direct knowledge of Momentus than the Thynk team. We are honest about what migrates cleanly, honest about what needs cleaning, and honest about what gets archived.

YEARS OF MOMENTUS EXPERTISE ON THE THYNK TEAM

Delivery leadership, sales leadership, project leadership – with direct, multi-year experience inside Momentus. We have implemented the platform you are leaving. We know what migrates cleanly, what needs cleaning, and what gets archived – from doing it, not from reading about it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Thynk a Momentus alternative for convention centres and venues?
Yes. Thynk is the Salesforce-native alternative to Momentus for venues – convention & exhibition centres, stadium & arenas, performing arts centres, fairs & showgrounds and conference centres. One platform replaces the patchwork of Momentus modules: CRM, booking calendar, Event Orders, exhibitor webshop, supplier and operations portals, analytics – on one data model.
How long does a Momentus-to-Thynk migration take?
Three to six months for a typical venue, across the three steps above: discovery and data scope, then setting Thynk up and bringing your data across, then going live. Multi-venue groups roll out venue by venue.
What migrates from Momentus to Thynk?
Accounts, contacts, bookings, events, spaces, products and financial history migrate via bulk API after field-by-field mapping. Historical documents are archived and linked. We are honest about what migrates cleanly, what needs cleaning, and what is better archived.
Can we keep Momentus running during the switch?
Yes. Momentus is typically kept read-only during the switch-over, so your team can verify every report against the old system before it is decommissioned.
