Salesfloor, an award-winning customer engagement platform for retailers, faced challenges in customer tracking, onboarding inefficiencies, and disjointed handoffs between teams. These obstacles hindered their ability to understand customer needs fully and deliver optimal service.
The Challenges
Before adopting Vitally, Salesfloor relied on fragmented tools like Google Slides and Sheets, leading to a lack of comprehensive customer data. This resulted in inefficient onboarding processes, incomplete customer profiles, and limited visibility into customer health and product usage.
- Lacking a standardized handoff process from Customer Success Manager to Customer Success Manager.
- Onboarding for Customer Success Managers was long without a centralized platform.
- Difficulty monitoring customer data over time - particularly changes in customer health, product usage, and stakeholders.
"We didn’t have a comprehensive view of product usage over time, health over time, change in customer stakeholders; so altogether, we had limited information, and it was hard to keep track."
The Solution
Salesfloor implemented Vitally to bridge data gaps, streamline onboarding, and gain a holistic view of the customer lifecycle. Vitally integrated seamlessly with Salesfloor's existing tech stack, providing a centralized platform for customer data and automating tasks like tracking product usage and logging emails.
- Bridging the gap between disparate sources and tools with a Customer Success platform that could display a holistic view of their customers’ historical data.
- Ability to input product usage data through automation to give CSMs a better historical view of their account.
- Providing CSMs with a quick and effective onboarding with all account information they would need to better understand and serve their customer's needs.
“Vitally is a tool that allows all of our CSMs to have full visibility into the customer lifecycle. From the signature of the contract, onboarding, pilots, rollouts, and launch, all the way to tracking product usage data, meeting minutes, and tickets in Zendesk."
