Client & Device Onboarding

Q: Do we still need to review extracted data before it goes into the CRM?

The automation validates extracted data against your CRM schema and flags any missing or suspicious values. Your team reviews flagged records; clean records flow straight through.

Q: Can the automation handle different service tiers and device configurations?

Yes. The automation reads service tier from the contract and generates setup instructions and provisioning requests tailored to each tier and device count.

Q: Will this work with our existing Active Directory and VPN systems?

The automation creates provisioning tickets with all required details for your IT team. Integration with Active Directory and VPN depends on your specific tools and can be configured during setup.

Q: What happens if a client doesn't respond to the setup instructions?

The automation tracks onboarding status and can trigger follow-up reminders on a schedule you define. Your team retains full visibility and can intervene manually if needed.

Get new clients and their devices fully configured, documented, and monitored from day one, without spreadsheets and back-and-forth.
