The Challenge: Reactive vs. Proactive

Fossa's enterprise customers have complex needs and high expectations. The CS team was spending too much time reacting to issues rather than proactively addressing customer needs before they became problems.

With customer conversations scattered across email, Slack, calls, and support tickets, it was nearly impossible to get a complete picture of customer health until something went wrong.

"We were always playing catch-up. By the time we knew there was a problem, it was often too late to fix it without significant effort."
