in 2020, as reported by Productboard

The challenge

As Productboard's customer base grew past 4,000 accounts, its Customer Success team lacked a unified view of customer health. According to Senior Director of Customer Success John Henwood, the gaps created blind spots that made it hard to prioritize where CSMs spent their time.

The solution

Productboard implemented Vitally in February 2020 to consolidate customer data and surface health signals for its 84 platform users. The team used Vitally to automate routine tasks and give CSMs actionable customer insights.

In 2020 alone, we reduced our gross churn relatively by 50%. Even as we scaled, we were able to spend our time as wisely as possible with customers.
