Uncovered 1M ARR at Risk of Churn

The main goal of the Customer Success department is to reduce churn and spot opportunities for MRR expansion among high-usage customers.

In the following screenshot, you can see that we identified 32 customers in the 'churn risk' segment who do not have an assigned dedicated success manager. These 32 customers represent 1M ARR in CZK. We have observed a significant drop in usage among these customers, indicating a high likelihood of churn in the upcoming subscription period without intervention by a success manager.
