Toon Boom animations software is used by everyone from students and freelancers to companies and organizations to the very best animation studios. This – a global company working within the animation industry, in multiple markets, and with even more buyer personas – makes up for an extensive product offering.

In 2015, the company made a shift moving away from being only an on-prem solution to also offering a subscription model. This gave them new possibilities and some new challenges. Therefore, they searched for a customer platform to ensure their customers got the value they wanted.

"We have customers within B2B, B2C, and B2G, and they all have different needs. It's complex, but we needed to track it to offer our customers the best experience possible."

Toon Boom was searching for a flexible software that could make their customers happy - no matter what part of the customer journey they were on, their role, what market they operated in, or even what animation dream they had. They were handling many customers with a small team, and getting the right tool onboard would be like adding a new team member.

  • A broad mix of customers makes it difficult to standardize solutions.

  • The customer success department looked for an optimized way to handle all their tasks.

  • Finding the best way to analyze and take the correct actions based on all the available data.

Planhat was the best solution with its flexibility, its integrations with SalesForce to track NRR and MRR, the simplicity of creating playbooks, triggers, and automations, as well as the flexibility of aggregating data to create segmented health scores and forecast revenue. Also, Planhats pricing model with unlimited seating was a big deal since it meant a fast time to value.

  • The intuitive interface creates fast time to value.
