Who we work with

When should you review your customer success systems?

A review is useful when account knowledge sits across spreadsheets and individual inboxes, teams react to renewal risk late, onboarding varies between customers, or business reviews describe activity without showing value. Customer success leaders need a shared picture and clear ownership of the next action.

dForce works with UK customer success, services and operations teams to connect the original buying decision with delivery and the outcomes the customer expects. We help agree the operating model, then configure the technology and measures that support it.

Common questions

Certinia Customer Success Cloud: your questions answered.

What is Certinia Customer Success Cloud?

Certinia Customer Success Cloud is customer success management software built on Salesforce. It helps teams manage customer health, success plans, objectives, playbooks and value tracking alongside their customer records. dForce helps design, implement and connect these capabilities to your customer success operating model.

What does a Customer Success Cloud implementation involve?
  1. Agree outcomes and ownership. Define the customer journey, account responsibilities, segments and measures of success.
  2. Design health scores and playbooks. Agree metrics, thresholds, actions, escalation routes and reusable workflows.
  3. Connect and prepare data. Map account, contact, contract, delivery, engagement and usage information, with ownership and quality checks.
  4. Configure, test and train. Build success plans, objectives, value measures and reporting, then run realistic scenarios with the people who will use them.
  5. Launch and improve. Support adoption and review whether the measures and actions help teams deliver customer outcomes.

Our Ignition Quick Start approach targets eight weeks for suitable, agreed scopes. Data readiness, integrations, process complexity and customer availability determine whether that route is appropriate. We confirm the delivery plan during discovery.

How do customer health scores work?

Health scores combine configured metrics, values, thresholds and weightings into an account score. Metrics can vary by customer segment. dForce helps agree the signals to use, how to obtain reliable data and which actions should follow a change in health, so the score supports a consistent response.

What is the difference between a success plan and a playbook?

A success plan records the objectives and value you want to achieve with a customer. A playbook groups the tasks needed to complete a focused piece of work, such as onboarding, a business review or an escalation. Playbooks can support success plan objectives or be used independently for repeatable customer success work.

How long does implementation take, and what does it cost?

The timetable and cost depend on your success processes, customer segments, health metrics, reporting, integrations, migration and training needs. Ignition Quick Start targets eight weeks where the agreed scope is suitable. dForce provides a scoped estimate and delivery plan after discovery; software subscriptions and implementation services are separate considerations.

Can Customer Success Cloud connect with Certinia PSA and other systems?

Yes. Customer Success Cloud can form part of a Salesforce environment alongside Certinia Professional Services Cloud and Financial Management Cloud. Other data sources may require a connector or integration. dForce agrees which customer, delivery, financial, engagement and usage records are needed, where they are maintained and how teams handle exceptions.

What does Veda AI add to Customer Success Cloud?

Depending on the enabled capabilities, Veda can assist with summaries, customer engagement preparation, success planning and playbook tasks. Some features analyse information; others can create or update records subject to permissions. dForce helps select useful use cases and agree the data, configuration and review controls they need. Availability depends on your release, subscriptions and setup.

Can dForce improve an existing customer success setup?

Yes. We can review your customer journey, account ownership, health metrics, playbooks, reporting and adoption, then agree priorities for configuration, integration, training and ongoing optimisation. The starting point is the customer and business outcomes you need to improve.
