The Challenge
WorkForce Software, a global provider of integrated employee experience and workforce management solutions, faced a significant challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite their rapid growth during this period, the company's go-to-market (GTM) strategy was traditional and leads-based, which was not creating the desired customer experience. The company had much of their content gated to gather leads and email addresses, which were then flooded with unsolicited content. This approach was not only intrusive but also ineffective in creating a positive customer experience. Furthermore, the company lacked the necessary data to properly target their customers and understand their position in the buyer journey. Their overall approach was too generic, and they lacked the tools to reach the right decision-makers.
The Solution
WorkForce Software decided to transform their GTM from a traditional leads-based strategy to an account-based approach. They utilized Demandbase One, a solution they already had in place, to its fullest potential. They identified their ideal customer profile (ICP) and aligned their resources around those companies. They also ungated all of their content, which not only improved the customer experience but also provided new insights into what their prospects were consuming. With Demandbase intent signals, they were able to understand where prospects were in the buying journey. They started targeting buyers by industry and buying stage, varying the content they offer as the buyer moves through the pipeline. They also replaced their previous sales intelligence/contacts vendor with Demandbase Sales Intelligence Cloud to ensure data accuracy and ease of finding the right contacts.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
