As B2B SaaS companies grow, customer success and support operations become increasingly complex.

What starts as simple account management evolves into:

  • Lifecycle tracking
  • Renewal management
  • Customer health monitoring
  • Multi-channel support operations

The company had already adopted HubSpot, but the system was not designed to support this level of operational maturity.

They needed more than a CRM.

They needed a fully structured customer operations engine.

The Challenge: Growth Created Operational Complexity

Customer Success Was Not Structured

  • No defined lifecycle stages (Onboarding → Adoption → Renewal → Risk)
  • CSM activities were not standardized
  • Limited visibility into customer health

Result: Reactive customer management instead of proactive engagement

No Unified View of Customer Data

  • Customer data spread across CRM, billing, and support tools
  • Subscription data (from billing systems) not fully connected
  • Teams lacked a single source of truth

Result: Incomplete context during customer interactions

Support Operations Were Fragmented

  • Legacy ticketing system with complex workflows
  • No consistent SLA enforcement
  • Limited automation in routing and escalation

Result: Slower response times and inconsistent support experience

No Predictive Insight into Churn or Growth

  • No structured health scoring model
  • NPS and feedback data not operationalized
  • Risk signals were not tracked systematically

Result: Missed early warning signs of churn

Heavy Manual Effort Across Teams

  • Follow-ups, renewals, and onboarding tasks handled manually
  • Reporting required significant effort
  • High dependency on individual execution

What We Built

We transformed HubSpot into a centralized Customer Success and Support platform, designed for scale.

1. Defined the Customer Lifecycle Framework

We structured the entire lifecycle inside HubSpot:

  • Onboarding
  • Adoption
  • Renewal
  • Churn Risk

Each stage had:

  • Defined entry and exit criteria
  • Automated transitions
  • Associated workflows and actions

2. Built a Unified Data Architecture

  • Integrated billing platform (Chargebee) with HubSpot
  • Aligned CRM, subscription, and support data
  • Defined system of record for accounts, subscriptions, and contacts

Result: A single system of engagement for all customer-facing teams

3. Designed a Customer Health & Success Scoring Model

  • Created account-level success scores (0–10 scale)

Incorporated:

  • Product adoption
  • Customer sentiment (NPS, CSAT)
  • Renewal signals
  • Risk indicators
  • Enabled quarterly roll-ups and summaries

Result: Shift from reactive to data-driven customer management

4. Automated Customer Success Workflows

  • Onboarding journeys (30–60–90 day frameworks)
  • QBR workflows
  • Renewal tracking and alerts
  • Low adoption and churn-risk triggers
  • Automated task creation and notifications

Result: Consistent execution across all customer accounts

5. Migrated and Scaled Support Operations

  • Migrated ~90,000 tickets into HubSpot
  • Rebuilt ticketing system with:
    • Multi-level routing rules
    • SLA policies
    • Escalation workflows
  • Configured:
    • 24+ ticket creation rules
    • Time-based triggers
    • Priority-based handling

Result: Structured and scalable support operations

6. Built Customer Feedback Systems

  • Configured NPS and CSAT surveys
  • Linked feedback directly to account records
  • Integrated survey results into health scoring

Result: Voice of Customer became actionable, not just collected

7. Enabled Leadership Visibility

  • Built dashboards for:
  • Customer health
  • Renewal and churn
  • Support performance
  • Team efficiency
  • Role-based access for different stakeholders

Result:  Real-time visibility into customer operations
