The challenge

Jolt's customer success team operated largely reactively, spending most of each day responding to issues rather than driving proactive engagement. This limited the team's capacity to identify expansion opportunities and manage a growing book of business efficiently.

The solution

Jolt adopted Planhat as its customer platform to centralize customer data, automate workflows and give CSMs structured playbooks. This shifted the team toward proactive engagement and deeper, product-led conversations with customers.

Because we're having those types of engagements, our customers have a higher propensity to renew. And we're having bigger and deeper discussions with them around adding additional products.
