The move to digital technologies has been taking place at a meteoric pace. Many businesses are forced into a position, where they must either deploy new solutions they may not be ready for or risk falling behind the competition.

Given the array of ongoing challenges businesses face, including those posed by hybrid work and COVID-19, business automation is more important than ever.

But while we hear many CEOs and other tech executives preach this advice, it’s rarely followed—and the workflow software space is no exception.

While the title to this post is clearly playful, when it comes to customer success it’s all business. Our rapid growth has always been a function of our customers’ happiness. Regardless if it’s a new release or a service engagement, our internal focus revolves around a few key themes.
Ever since the pandemic hit, supply chain issues have abounded. Retailers bore the brunt of the news coverage, as shelves went barren for a host of reasons—not least demand shifts, panic buying, container shortages, and geopolitical concerns.
