Choosing customer onboarding software: FAQ
What is the best customer onboarding software?
It depends on how your customers get up and running. If your team works with each new customer to get them live, use a customer onboarding platform – Valuecase is the strongest pick in that category. If onboarding is primarily internal, billable project work with staffing and invoicing, use implementation/PSA software like Rocketlane. If customers get started on their own inside your product, use an in-product onboarding tool like Userpilot or Product Fruits.
What is the difference between customer onboarding tools and user onboarding tools?
Customer onboarding tools manage what happens between your company and a new customer after the sale: the shared plan, tasks, intake forms and resources on the way to go-live. User onboarding tools work inside the product – tours, checklists, tooltips – to get individual users started. This directory covers the post-sale, customer-facing side first.
How many onboarding tools does a team actually need?
One main tool, chosen for how you onboard – an onboarding platform, a PSA tool or an in-product onboarding tool. Most teams run one or two tools total: the main tool, plus product analytics once they want to see where new customers get stuck. A five-tool onboarding stack is almost always a sign of an unclear process, not a requirement.
What is the best client onboarding software for agencies?
The same logic applies to agencies and services firms: a client-facing onboarding platform where the client sees the plan, their tasks and every file is the main tool, with PSA software added once staffing and billing get complex. See the agency onboarding stack guide for a full recommendation.
