Before TaskRay
- The go-live process took approximately 120 days, delaying customers’ ability to start using the FieldEdge platform.
- There was no visibility into key metrics like time from closed-won to go-live or milestone progress, leaving leadership unaware of project bottlenecks.
- Due to inefficient processes and a lack of automation, implementation specialists were limited to managing 12-15 accounts at a time.
- Tracking progress required manually scrolling through lengthy notes, making it difficult to pinpoint and address issues.
After TaskRay
- Time to go-live reduced by approximately 40%, accelerating onboarding and delivering faster value to customers.
- Rich reporting and dashboards provide leadership with clear visibility into project milestones and team performance.
- Implementation specialists can now manage up to 25 accounts simultaneously, doubling efficiency.
- Flexible templates and task-level tracking ensure smoother project execution and enable a more personalized customer experience.
Pain Points Before TaskRay
When a customer purchased FieldEdge, the implementation and onboarding team provided setup support, training, and data input into the FieldEdge platform. Before TaskRay, this process took around 120 days. The team wanted to speed up onboarding and improve the customer experience, but their previous solution lacked reporting on key metrics like time from closed-won to go-live and time spent on each milestone. Leadership had to scroll through long lists of notes to understand project status, making it difficult to identify bottlenecks.
Why TaskRay
FieldEdge needed an at-a-glance view of all projects to easily identify and resolve issues before they impacted customers. Ideally, this information would be available in Salesforce. They also wanted an onboarding solution that could scale to support customers of all sizes. While other options were not Salesforce-native and would be harder to adjust from project to project, TaskRay met all their requirements.
Results
With TaskRay, FieldEdge reduced their time to go-live from 120 days to 70-80 days (about a 40% reduction). TaskRay’s rich reporting allows them to track each task in every project and identify opportunities to speed up processes. They now have an accurate picture of team workload, making it easier to assign new projects. This increased visibility helps provide an excellent customer experience, as performance can be assessed at both the task and project level.
TaskRay’s templates enable projects to start smoothly and are flexible enough to accommodate unique customer needs. Customer satisfaction scores have improved since implementing TaskRay. Previously, implementation specialists could manage only 12-15 accounts; now, with TaskRay, they can handle up to 25 projects each. This means FieldEdge can complete more projects in less time and with fewer resources.
