Case Study

Boosting a B2B SaaS Company with End-to-End Automation

A B2B SaaS company approached us with a situation that’s all too common in the industry. Their product was strong, their pipeline was growing, but their post-sale journey was chaotic. They were losing customers due to friction in onboarding, inconsistent support, and a lack of customer engagement during the early lifecycle.

“We spend so much time and money acquiring customers-but we’re losing them within the first 90 days because they never fully activate.”

That was our starting point. We worked closely with their customer success, marketing, and product teams to build a full automation stack that not only fixed the leaks-but created scalable growth.

Challenges Faced:

  • Inconsistent and manual onboarding processes

  • Poor user engagement in the first 30 days

  • High churn rate among small-to-mid-size clients

  • Sales team overwhelmed by manual tasks and follow-ups

  • Inefficient documentation and knowledge delivery

Final Thoughts

This project was a perfect example of how internal inefficiencies directly affect customer outcomes. We didn’t just reduce churn-we built a system where customers felt seen, supported, and guided from the first login.

Automation isn't just about speed-it's about consistency, personalization, and scale. By aligning the onboarding, success, and sales teams under a shared automation framework, we gave this SaaS company the infrastructure to support their next stage of growth-without burning out their team.

If you’re running a SaaS company and you’re still managing onboarding and retention manually, you’re already behind. But the good news is: the solution is fully within reach-and we’re here to help.
