Staffbase is a leading global platform for mobile-first employee communications, intranets and employee apps. During the acquisition of a company with over 100 employees, the focus was on migrating processes and standardizing the customer experience. The aim was to achieve a consistently high quality of customer service worldwide without negative consequences for customers and employees during project implementation. Together, we succeeded in creating an efficient process that can be used as a best practice for future acquisitions.
Initial Situation
Acquisition of a company with 150 employees (Staffbase: 400 employees)
- Remote only
- Relevant KPIs of the acquired company differed from Staffbase (CSAT 85% and thus lower; response time faster due to end user support)
- Limited use of Zendesk at acquired company
- Potential of Zendesk was not utilized: No Zendesk admin, etc.
Goals:
- Customer impact should be kept as low as possible
- All tools/teams/processes should be united
- Timeline-oriented execution of the process
- Project as blueprint for future acquisitions
- Helpcenter integration with Staffbase Helpcenter
- Conversion of end-user support from B2C/B2B mixed business to B2B-only.
Our Services
- Orientation-Call/shadowing and evaluation of the existing instance & processes
- Definition of the problem & analysis of both tools (system landscape; integrations; macros; triggers; …)
- Creation of a project plan: Clear definition of tasks between Staffbase & Leafworks
- Migration of all tickets; macros; triggers; settings into one brand/instance
- Migration of HelpCenter articles in preparation for final changeover
- Complete migration incl. branding
- Customization of Salesforce integration so that all customers are synced accordingly

Result
- Single Brand
- Users didn’t notice anything about the migration, agents only very little, since the working environment has hardly changed through the project steps
- Customer Experience is unified with high quality: CSAT; First Reply Time; quality of customer interactions greatly increased
- Central tracking across all customer interactions
- All organizational processes are integrated with the tools (e.g. processes in North America are the same as in Europe)
- Best practice for future acquisitions has been created
Customer Feedback
With the help of Leafworks, we managed to complete a mammoth project without a negative impact on users and customers. Quite the opposite – we were able to standardize customer satisfaction across the entire Staffbase group at a high level and can now offer efficient multi-product support. Especially the fast and unbureaucratic ways to Leafworks were helpful here to execute decisions quickly in our agile working world.
