Natero was founded on the premise that modern SaaS businesses need actionable data in the hands of Customer Success professionals.
Natero is the only Customer Success solution to combine predictive analytics, customer intelligence, and workflow management in a unified platform. This uniquely data-driven approach enables B2B software providers to proactively manage Customer Success and maximize customer lifetime value.
We built Natero because we believe that Customer Success teams should spend their time focused on the customer, not on the technology required to do so.
Founded by veterans from the big data, data science and distributed system industries, our goal is to help you leverage your data to drive successful outcomes for your customers and your business.
