Onboarding at parcelLab

The onboarding team consists of 11 implementation managers, who handle around 3-8 customers (a combination of enterprise customers and SMEs) each. The team takes over after the sales cycle and works closely with the sales and account management teams who own the commercial aspects of the customer relationship.  

One of the KPIs for the parcelLab implementation team is adding value quickly. To this end, one of their key focus areas is to equip the team with the right tools and resources that would:

1. Create better solutions for their customers
2. Enable them to go live quickly
   

The Challenges

Matching rapid growth with scalability

Given their hypergrowth stage, the onboarding team at parcelLab sees things rapidly evolving week on week. Their team of implementation managers handles 50+ projects at a time. Each onboarding project had repetitive manual tasks that posed a scalability challenge.

Overdue projects with no clarity on the reasons for the delay

parcelLab’s customer onboarding is designed to be much tighter in scope and shorter in duration to enable faster go-live. Customer engagement is critical to making this happen.

In the absence of a platform that facilitated efficient customer collaboration and ensured transparency, customers were often left unaware of what needed to be done at their end. This often led to overdue projects with no visibility into the reasons for the delay.

Current project management tools had reached their limits

Customers needed to work closely with the implementation team on parcelLab’s project management plans. These generic tools, though great for knowledge management and internal use, fell short in the areas of customer collaboration and reporting. Customers couldn’t track unfinished tasks or view status updates, without being logged in at all times.

The Solution

Caroline was looking for a tool that would increase customer engagement and improve customer experience while eliminating operational inefficiencies within the onboarding workflow. This was when she came across Rocketlane.
