Does the thought of transitioning to a new local marketing solution keep you up at night? Legacy providers don’t have the infrastructure to support enterprises, often relying too much on their clients’ internal teams to do the heavy lifting. You need a communicative and supportive partner that takes the stress of onboarding out of your hands.
Lastmile makes the transition process quick and easy. We know that the onboarding process can be frustrating due to a lack of communication with vendors, excessive demands on an already overburdened internal team, and insufficient support from vendors during the transition. But when choosing the wrong provider can delay your market entry by months, partnering with the right local marketing solution is essential to your business success.
Let's get to the point: We designed our onboarding process to make your life easier. Our internal team handles all the heavy lifting, maintaining open lines of communication and providing support to your team wherever needed. Our approach ensures a smooth transition in just a few weeks, allowing you to unlock the full potential of your business's local presence without the hassle of technical integrations.
Starting on the Right Foot
Our approach to onboarding combines two essential components that make a transition successful: speed and thoroughness. You need to launch a new solution quickly, but it’s essential that you don’t sacrifice the details in the process. Partnering with the wrong provider has real implications on your bottom line even as early as the integration process, including missed marketing opportunities, draining of internal resources, additional costs, and lags in support.
