The LaunchHandoff platform

One working system for the whole operation.

Each module answers a different question. Together they give the team a shared record of what exists, what needs attention, who decides, and what happened next.

01

Portfolio

See every onboarding, phase, owner, health state, and target window together.

Where the work gets stuck

The system is rarely the whole problem.

For b2b saas teams with 5–20 implementation or customer-success managers.

01

Teams switch between docs, forms, CRM, email, and project tools to understand one onboarding.

02

Portals can show tasks but cannot make a customer complete them.

03

More reminders create fatigue when they omit the reason, owner, or downstream impact.

Onboarding Dependency Management · managed delivery

A daily blocker list with one owner and one useful next action.

We keep the records, definitions, checks, exceptions, and review pack moving across the six-module model. Your team keeps every decision that carries financial, legal, operational, or customer impact.

  • Dependency extraction from one agreed onboarding artifact
  • Context-rich follow-up drafts with human-approved policy
  • Time-to-value risk digest for every active onboarding

Evaluate the product

Everything you need to decide whether this fits.

Explore the application model, exact deliverable, input boundary, rollout, and trade-offs before you share operational data.

How it works

A complete operating view without a drawn-out rollout.

Start with the working records you already have. We map them into the connected model, run the review cycle, and improve the control record with your team.

  1. 1
    Step 1

    Bring one real onboarding template and five anonymized project timelines.

  2. 2
    Step 2

    Map customer inputs, internal owners, dependencies, and escalation policy.

  3. 3
    Step 3

    Run a two-week supervised chase queue and compare completion movement.

Why we work this way

We started with the complaints, not a feature list.

Public operator discussions showed us where existing tools create extra work. Those recurring problems now shape the service and every client deliverable.

GUIDEcx · HubSpot · Onboard.io

A small SaaS team described onboarding spread across Confluence, tabs, and internal forms, while discussion of GUIDEcx focused on sequencing customer steps rather than removing customer participation.

What we changed: Start from one existing artifact, preserve explicit customer-owned steps, and measure dependency movement instead of portal logins.

Rocketlane · GUIDEcx · Gainsight

Practitioners discussed shared plans and dedicated onboarding products, but also identified internal process, customer participation, and ownership—not the absence of a tool—as root causes.

What we changed: Position as an accountable dependency queue beside current systems and do not promise that automated reminders alone solve adoption.

Useful before you hire us

Put the workflow into a register your team can actually run.

The customer onboarding dependency map is a five-tab Excel workbook with a ready-to-fill register, worked fictional example, weekly review agenda, and metric dictionary.

Download the Excel workbook
  1. 01Separate customer-owned, internal, and third-party tasks
  2. 02Give every blocker one owner and unblock condition
  3. 03State the downstream impact in every follow-up
  4. 04Escalate based on impact and elapsed time—not reminder count

Monthly service plans

Choose the plan that matches the workload.

Every plan is a month-to-month managed service with a generous, published capacity, a named cadence, and human review. The middle plan is the practical fit for most teams. Prices are in US dollars and exclude applicable sales tax.

For a smaller implementation team that needs one shared blocker view.

The practical details

Questions people ask before we start.

Is this another customer portal?+

No. LaunchHandoff works from one existing onboarding artifact and focuses on moving dependencies.

Does it email customers automatically?+

We produce supervised drafts. Nothing goes to a customer without an approved communication policy.

Which systems do you integrate with?+

Every plan starts without connectors. We scope an integration only after the workflow is stable.

How do you measure success?+

We compare blocked-task age, promised-date misses, and customer-owned task movement over the two-week sprint.

What do we receive each cycle?+

A human-reviewed onboarding dependency control pack, the supporting exception log, and the plan-specific review cadence shown on the pricing page.

What do you need from us?+

A named owner, the agreed definitions, and normalized project, task, and dependency CSVs. The public inquiry form accepts none of that operational data.
