Case studies

What good looks like, by sector.

Salesforce implementations across the sectors we work in, told the way an architect tells them: the situation, what was built and in what order, what it did, and what it would take to do the same thing for you. Client names are withheld; the numbers are not.

How we work a case

What the stories have in common.

Different sectors, different products, the same four habits. They are how we run an engagement, and they are also how to read the results above.

01

The data model comes first.

Every result on this page sits on a record that was designed before a screen was. Unify the data, model the nouns the business actually uses, then build.

02

One narrow job per agent.

The agents that have a number attached were each given one thing to do, a clear finish line and a human to hand off to. The ones that try to do everything do not appear here.

03

Measured against a baseline.

A figure is only worth printing if there was a before. Where a result was a stated target rather than a measurement, or is our own estimate, the label says so.

04

Sized for a mid-market team.

Each story closes with the three decisions that made it work and the service line each belongs to, so a team of fifty to five hundred people can see what the same outcome takes.

03

On the record

What our clients say on the record.

The stories above carry a sector rather than a name. These are the reviews clients chose to publish under theirs, and the companies that have let us say we worked with them.

Fully understands requirements and implements them into our org quickly and efficiently. The team has been very patient with us as our projects were delayed, and even gave us tips and help without charge. Thanks — will be hiring again.

Simon Cooper CTO

Cloudoxia took on a very complex set of requirements and executed them well. They asked pertinent questions about the logic behind the functionality, ensuring it worked as expected and to spec. Looking forward to working with the team again.

Eli Haugen Marketing Operations Lead

The team created a custom document generator that saved my company $10,000+ a year in subscriptions. Knowledgeable, easy to work with, persistent about getting the job done, and fair on price.
