1. How does Rocketlane ensure seamless collaboration between teams and customers during onboarding and implementation?
Seamless collaboration is all about shared accountability and transparency between teams and customers. Rocketlane acts as a single source of truth, so everyone has access to shared timelines, clear task ownership, and real-time updates. It also brings together documents, meeting notes, tasks, projects, and updates into one all-in-one portal, so customers aren’t left tracking things across siloed systems. This helps our clients avoid the silos and miscommunications that can slow down onboarding projects.
To keep everyone aligned, Rocketlane automates publishing updates to project team members at defined intervals, clearly calling out risks, delays, and next actions to eliminate confusion. These updates are delivered not only to the customer portal but also via email or Slack, ensuring they reach people where they’re already communicating.
We also recently launched our customer portal, making it easy for clients to stay up to date with minimal effort, while our vendor portal helps streamline team operations on our side.
Plus, we use AI-driven insights to predict risks like delays in task completion, low team engagement, or miscommunications, and give actionable recommendations, which helps teams tackle potential roadblocks before they become problems.
Rocketlane combines structure with flexibility and makes sure every onboarding experience is smooth and successful.
We provide standardization through project templates and playbooks, helping businesses create consistency and repeatability in their workflows. These templates can be as granular as you need them to be for different aspects you may want to standardize. They can be customized at every level—tasks, milestones, roles, and even what the customer sees—so they fit each client’s unique needs.
The magic lies in setting up templates not just for project plans and flows, but also for documents, meeting notes, communication to be sent out, governance rules, warnings, escalations, and even weekly status reports. This way, you can codify your way of working, even if the specifics of a project vary. You can also set up rules tailored to specific "types" or "sizes" of projects—for instance, enterprise projects versus velocity projects can have entirely different templates across the board.
On top of that, Rocketlane can standardize how you conduct reviews, manage risk, staff projects, and more. Features like custom fields, dynamic task allocation, and role-based access give teams the ability to fine-tune workflows however they need.
Rocketlane also integrates with tools like CRMs and Slack, seamlessly fitting into each customer’s existing ecosystem without disrupting their current workflow.
Success in customer collaboration comes down to alignment, engagement, and outcomes. Rocketlane tracks metrics—like task completion and CSAT scores—and gathers feedback through surveys and reviews.
We use automation and intelligent systems to help us spot risks early, like low engagement or communication delays. But ultimately, success means the customer feels supported, aligned with the team, and achieves their goals.
One good example is GoCardless. Before using Rocketlane, they were dealing with a lot of fragmented workflows and delays. Once they started using our platform, things started to improve. They started automating tasks and timelines which helped them manage projects more efficiently. They also got better at allocating resources and gave clients real-time visibility through the customer portal. This helped build trust and engagement, leading to faster results and higher satisfaction scores.
Another example is Chargebee, who had some complex onboarding workflows. Rocketlane helped them streamline processes, improving resource visibility and making it easier for customers to collaborate. This ultimately helped them reduce project turnaround times and improve stakeholder satisfaction.
At Rocketlane, we’ve built scalability and adaptability right into the platform. Businesses can start with what they need and easily grow as things get more complex. Our modular design lets customers scale up without disrupting anything, so it’s seamless.
As teams expand, role-based access ensures everyone sees only what’s relevant to them—keeping things clutter-free. Our platform integrates effortlessly with the tools they’re already using, so there’s no need to overhaul their workflow.
We also use AI to spot potential issues before they happen, helping teams stay ahead of the game. For larger businesses, we offer features like SSO and multi-project management to keep everything running smoothly. We stay in touch with customers through ongoing feedback to make sure we’re continually adapting to their needs.
We remain scalable and adaptable by always learning from how our most mature customers customize and use Rocketlane. We use those insights to guide others and even productize the patterns we find useful so everyone can benefit from them.
