Turning Bottlenecks into Breakthroughs
A prominent North American logistics provider, specializing in services and supplies for the beverage industry, embarked on a transformative journey to modernize its customer experience. With a vision of delivering real-time, seamless interactions, the company faced the challenge of creating a secure, user-friendly portal for their B2B customers. Historically, customer interactions were manual and routed through CRM systems, which limited operational efficiency and customer satisfaction. Recognizing the need for a swift, scalable solution, they sought a CIAM platform capable of supporting their ambitions without the need for significant in-house resources.
Common Hurdles in Their Path to Modern CIAM

- Resource Constraints: Without the technical resources to build a custom solution, they sought a best-in-class CIAM provider to meet their B2B needs swiftly and economically.
“Facing both a need for rapid deployment and limited internal resources, the company needed more than a CIAM platform; they needed a partner to support their goals.
