Solid results for Tribes' flexible business model with GoMeddo

Tribes provides a unique combination of flexible office spaces and business services from 19 high-end locations. The company is running a business model with a flexible offering at its core but was also challenged to resolve a 90% drop in meeting room bookings due to Covid measures. They managed to turn their performance around in an impressive way. Tribes is an example how you can run a flexible business in a solid way with digital technology.

Digital transformation

Tribes has been a Salesforce user and Gen25 customer since 2015, but in 2021 they chose to accelerate their digital transformation with a totally new digital platform based on Salesforce. Tribes as a high-end business service organization is always looking for ways to improve customer experience, but with the 90% drop in mind they had to act fast.

Recurring business cycle

Based on a strong customer centric vision a digital transformation program was created, with integration, flexibility and convenience as key topics. Tribes saw the untapped potential of Salesforce and this resulted in the creation of a new business platform which is a combination of Salesforce Sales Cloud, Marketing Cloud, a custom built Heroku CMS and GoMeddo  as native Salesforce booking app. Tribes can now combine the flexibility and intelligence of GoMeddo with the power of Salesforce to create a full recurring business cycle in 5 steps:

1. Generate availability and options directly: Tribes uses GoMeddo multidimensional booking intelligence with unlimited variables, to manage any kind of resource from meetings rooms, office spaces to services.
2. Improve User Experience: Tribes makes selection and booking easy, with integration of GoMeddo  on a newly built webportal based on a Heroku CMS.
3. Drive revenue: Via GoMeddo  Tribes offers several payment options to customers for their bookings, additionally a subscription or invoice can be offered directly.
4. Build 360 Customer Profile: Tribes can instantly use customer data in Salesforce CRM because GoMeddo  is native Salesforce app.
5. Create insights, (re)engage and target: GoMeddo enables Tribes and its customers to make complex scheduling easy in Salesforce. So next to Sales Cloud, Salesforce Marketing Cloud was implemented to replace Hubspot CRM and create a more integrated value chain and better usage of customer data. Tribes can now even further personalize offering and engage customers using usage data in 360 Salesforce view.
