Key Vitally Integrations
Finbarr Taylor, CEO & Co-Founder, and Nick Raushenbush, COO & Co-Founder at Shogun, share insights into their journey of enhancing Customer Success through Vitally. Shogun, a powerful e-commerce experience platform, faced challenges in providing personalized support to their diverse customer base, prompting the exploration of a solution that aligns with their mission.
Challenges at Shogun
- Difficulty in strategically supporting larger merchants.
- Lack of understanding about individual customer behaviors.
- Inability to deliver tailored support to clients with advanced use cases.
"Our business is largely self-service… we don’t truly understand their behavior. Before discovering Vitally, we were never quite sure when to reach out to help them, and how to make them be more successful."

COO and Co-Founder
Finding a Purposeful Solution
With thousands of customers signing up monthly for Shogun's Page Builder, a self-service product, the Customer Success team struggled to identify the behaviors of individual customers. Vitally emerged as the solution to streamline their approach to Customer Success, focusing on delivering white-glove service to their larger merchants. Key features include:
- Segmentation: Ensuring large merchants receive personalized, high-touch support.
- Rule-based Alerts and Sequences: Proactive intervention based on customer behaviors.
- Enhanced Visibility: Overview of account health for crucial customer segments.
"I do feel that Vitally has really helped us level-up beyond just general support for this key segment of our client base… And I don't think that we would have been able to continue with our existing tech stack."
