How the CUPW strike affects your business

12/13/24 Update“It is my view, and the view of the FMCS, that the parties are at an impasse,” said Canadian federal Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon in a statement earlier today. The Labour Minister is now sending the labor dispute between CUPW and Canada Post to the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) in an effort to resume Canada Post operations and get striking CUPW workers back to work. The resolution of the strike now requires CIRB to agree with MacKinnon’s assertion that the negotiations are at a standstill.What does this mean for shippers?Despite recent movements, this situation is still ongoing. Canada Post customers still cannot ship or print labels at this time, and will not be able to do so until an official announcement has been made. What are the next steps?If the CIRB agrees, MacKinnon says the Labour Relations Board will order Canada Post, and all employees represented by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, to resume operations and extend the terms of existing col

Company Investors Update: Q4 2019

Hey Team, It’s been an awesome, but intense, winter. Many things are tracking well, but there are some challenges we’re working through. TL;DR Revenue is up 22% We’re scaling up important product initiative Apollo. We finally closed Microsoft for a major partnership Big time hire — we closed Joe Bloggs as our new VP All The Things Mrs Customer Success herself had a major life event — welcome to Baby Customer Success! Key Metrics: We continue to have a ton of momentum across every important metric. From Sep to Nov we grew revenue 5%+ Every Month. From Aug to Nov we grew 17%. We are also on pace for a really huge December. We’ve learned something big this quarter about our Pricing Model and by February we’ll be on a $2M run rate. Needless to say I’m cautiously pumped. We’ve basically 2x’d on revenue so far this year and I believe will have 2.5x’d by end of year. One big thing we are scaling up is our Super Cool New Widget. We now have 25+ Companies that have bought Our Supe

Tips & Tricks

Use Digital Hub to boost event RegistrationBest practise

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a quick tip on using your community to increase event registration for your next event! We recently ran an event on the importance of Customer Success in 2020 and we saw a massive 70% of our event registrations come from signups on our community! What did we do? We simply set up an event on our community—announcing what we planned to cover and who would be speaking—and enabled event registration directly on the community. We also found that those who wanted to ask questions about the event did so in the comments section, which really got people excited about the topics we would be covering. What was also fantastic was that we saw those that attended the event kept the discussion going in the weeks after on the community too! So, definitely, for your next event be sure to use your community! ?

Tips & Tricks

Using user-groups for beta programsBest practise

We’re always updating our users on new features we launch via the community. It’s such a great way to communicate on a 1-to-many basis with our customers. Additionally, what’s even better is that we have started to launch beta testing groups on our community where we invite a certain number of customers to test new features before we release them. Not only does this allow us to iron out any bugs before a full roll-out, it also creates a real feeling of collaboration and togetherness between us and our customers. Such a great way to make sure you are building a product that really meets the needs of your end users!

Integrations

Pimping your reporting using custom integrationsIntegrations

Injecting more data into your reporting takes your view on the customer journey to a whole new level. Regardless of the report or dataset you’re using—whether it’s feature adoption data or a geographical view of your customers and their support requests—smart use of more data will grant you a better view on your customer and their needs. To better enable you to customize your reporting, we have decided to start adding custom integrations. We make a distinction between two types: Platform integrations: E.g. connecting to other SaaS software like CompanyA and CompanyB Personal integrations: E.g. pieces of code or links to datasets that you have built yourself and would like to integrate in your datasets Both are currently available for all customers in the back-end of Company. DONE, RELEASED, YEAH! Example use-cases: You want to create an overview of all customer data, including demographics & usage of your platform, and then tie that into CRM data including how many times th
