Klient Customer Success Story
How Bolt Data Doubled in Size and Revenue in Under 18 Months with Klient PSA
A leading SaaS enterprise with an innovative IoT Solution
Bolt Data is a highly respected SaaS (Software as a Service) company known for its cutting-edge solution, Bolt Data Connect. This innovative Salesforce application provides real-time data from IoT (Internet of Things) assets.
By leveraging the Salesforce platform, Bolt Data Connect can enhance asset reliability, lower service delivery costs, explore new revenue streams, and overcome complex business challenges.
In addition to its product, Bolt Data also offers a comprehensive suite of professional services. These tailored services assist clients with Salesforce implementation, solution enhancements, integration, and adoption.
The Challenge
Labor-intensive workflows with unreliable data
As a company at the forefront of IoT solutions, Bolt Data faced the challenge of effectively managing diverse teams with different areas of expertise and many stakeholders.
Despite being users of Klient PSA (Professional Services Automation) for several years, Bolt Data’s teams gradually deviated from using the platform and reverted to using scattered spreadsheets, resulting in data inconsistencies and time-consuming manual processes.
This labor-intensive and decentralized approach led to a lack of trust in the data and prevent their ability to plan manpower effectively, therefore impacting overall profitability.

The Solution
Klient PSA reboot: Streamline every process and leverage the power of a single source of truth across the organization.
At this point, Bolt Data reached out to Klient and their professional services team to reboot the entire implementation of Klient PSA. The objective was to eradicate reliance on spreadsheets and create a seamless integration with their Sales, project management, delivery, and finance processes.
Since Klient is a SaaS and professional services business, we were able to understand their reality and propose a plan of action.
