CASE STUDY 01

B2B SaaS | Product Information Management

B2B SaaS | Product Information Management

Building a Customer Success function from the ground up to drive retention and growth.

The Challenge

A fast-scaling SaaS business had no dedicated Customer Success function and was facing increasing churn risk. It needed greater visibility of customer health and risk, alongside a more structured approach to identifying whitespace and opportunities for growth.

The Approach

A Customer Success function was built from the ground up, including the strategy, team structure, customer health scoring and processes for proactively managing risk, retention and expansion. The function grew from zero to an 11-person team.

The Impact

Customer Success became an established, commercially focused function, helping increase NRR from 96% to 104% and reduce customer churn to below 5%, with much greater visibility of customer risk and growth opportunities.

CASE STUDY 02

B2B SaaS | Marketing Automation

Creating a more scalable customer journey to improve onboarding, visibility and growth.

The Challenge

A growing SaaS business needed a more structured approach to Customer Success. Onboarding needed greater consistency, customer information was fragmented, and there was an opportunity to take a more proactive and commercially focused approach to identifying growth within the existing customer base.

The Approach

The customer onboarding journey was redesigned to create a clearer and more consistent experience. A dedicated Customer Success platform was introduced, providing greater visibility of customer health and engagement, alongside a structured commercial plan to identify and develop upsell opportunities.

The Impact

A more scalable and data-led Customer Success operation, with a stronger onboarding experience, improved visibility across the customer base and a more systematic approach to identifying and converting opportunities for customer growth.
