SaaS User Onboarding Automation

How a B2B SaaS platform increased trial-to-paid conversion by 45% with intelligent onboarding

The Challenge

A project management SaaS platform had strong interest from trial users, but struggled with low activation and conversion rates. New users were getting stuck during setup and abandoning before seeing value.

  • •Only 22% of trial users completed initial setup
  • •Trial-to-paid conversion rate stuck at 8%
  • •High support burden from new user questions
  • •One-size-fits-all onboarding not resonating
  • •No visibility into where users were getting stuck
