Written by Nsovo Shimange | Feb 13, 2025 9:15:00 AM

Horsefly Analytics partnered with Struto to improve their management of customer satisfaction and user journeys through their contract lifecycle. Struto provided a tailored solution leveraging HubSpot's capabilities, enhancing Horsefly’s operational efficiency and decision-making processes, leading to improved customer satisfaction and significant time savings. 

Background 

Horsefly Analytics is a labour market analytics company providing data-driven insights for talent acquisition, location strategy, and workforce planning. They offer a platform with essential skills insights, compensation data, DE&I metrics, labour supply and demand analysis, cost of living data, and market comparisons. Horsefly operates internationally and is known for its extensive data reach and real-time market analysis, helping companies optimise their workforce strategies. 

Challenge 

Horsefly Analytics reached out to Struto due to difficulties in effectively managing customer satisfaction and user journey through the contract lifecycle. They were looking for a solution that would help them with the following: 

  • Mature their contract management process.
  • Gain a clearer view of their customer’s engagement with their products and services.
  • Embed their customer’s journey in HubSpot to enable customer success activities. 

Horsefly decided to work with Struto based on a recommendation from HubSpot and their reputation for building out the strategy of and deploying customised technical solutions. 

Solution 

Struto built a system to address Horsefly's challenges. The solution included a data-backed customer health-scoring framework for measuring customer satisfaction at various touchpoints in real time as well as tools to manage and optimise user journeys throughout the contract lifecycle. The customer health-scoring framework constitutes of three fundamental drivers: 


Struto conducted HubSpot CRM implementation and data synchronisation services, allowing Horsefly to streamline their customer satisfaction metrics and manage the user journey effectively. This allowed Horsefly to gain better insights into customer satisfaction and improve their user journey management.
 

 

Hurdles 

One minor consideration was the decision not to use HubSpot's Operations Hub, which could provide advanced automation capabilities. Horsefly chose to manage certain tasks manually to retain greater control and oversight over their processes. While this approach may require slightly more effort to manage manual tasks, it allowed for a tailored solution that met their specific needs. 

 

Results 

The project was completed successfully, with Horsefly now having a robust system to measure and manage customer satisfaction and user journeys. The positive outcomes include enhanced customer satisfaction, a maturation of their contract management process, and more effective decision-making based on real-time data.

"Working with Horsefly Analytics was not only a rewarding experience but also a lot of fun. The project allowed us to flex our creative muscles and come up with innovative solutions that made a difference. It's always exciting to work on projects where we can push boundaries and see the tangible impact of our efforts, and this project was no exception!"

Impact 

Horsefly can now leverage the enhanced data insights to make informed decisions and optimise their customer success strategies more effectively. The solution provided by Struto has significantly improved Horsefly’s operations, enabling them to focus on delivering enhanced customer service. 

“Struto demonstrated a clear understanding of our requirements and challenged our thinking during the project, which enabled us to arrive at a solution that provides us with more data points in helping us understand our customers.'"

Future Scope 

Horsefly is considering a phase 2 of this project with Struto. This phase would include further integration of advanced analytics and reporting features to continue optimising their operations.
