Grata Operationalizes Customer Data to Drive GTM Strategy & Develop Institutional Knowledge with Vitally

Grata, a leading company intelligence engine, empowers dealmakers to find, qualify, and engage the right customers and companies for their business. With clients like OneMedical, Providence Equity, and Trilogy, Grata provides unparalleled information and access driving the private economy.

Challenges Faced by Grata

• Lack of a succinct way to track customer engagement metrics.
• Inability to operationalize customer data.
• Limited visibility into customer health and changes over time.
• Customer Success team tracking engagement in an inadequate Google Sheet.

"[Google Sheets] really didn't give us the ability to properly identify, and properly connect and build those relationships that we were looking for with our customers."

• Grata's NPS exceeded their goal after implementing Vitally, showcasing a significant return on investment (ROI); and company-wide visibility into NPS responses through Vitally's Slack integration.
• Enhanced operationalization of customer data for strategic decision-making.
• Utilization of Vitally's features, including Playbooks, to automate processes and improve customer onboarding.

"Now that we've actually implemented Vitally, it's been great to see the response from the company at large…they're really happy with the choice."
