Customer Onboarding
Purpose
To take a new trial signup from first contact to an active, value-realising customer — consistently, within 14 days of signup.
Owner
Predrag Tasevski — CEO / Visionary
Trigger
This process starts when a new trial signup is confirmed — either via the unicis.tech signup form (Mautic notification) or via a direct outreach that results in a trial account being created.
Steps
- Signup confirmation — Mautic sends automated welcome email with getting-started link. Predrag receives notification in Matrix (#sales channel). \\Tool: Mautic, Matrix
- Qualification check (day 1–2) — Predrag reviews the signup: company size, country, use case. If the customer fits the Ideal Customer Profile, proceed. If not, note in Dolibarr and continue nurture via Mautic only. \\Tool: Dolibarr, Mautic
- Welcome call booked (day 2–3) — Send a personal welcome message via email (FreeScout) offering a 30-minute onboarding call. Use the Unicis Nextcloud Calendar link for scheduling. \\Tool: FreeScout, Nextcloud Calendar
- Onboarding call (day 3–7) — 30-minute call via Jitsi. Cover: their primary compliance need, which framework to start with, how to import controls, how to invite their team. Record the call if the customer consents. \\Tool: Nextcloud Talk
- Follow-up + resources (within 24h of call) — Send follow-up email via FreeScout with: summary of call, link to relevant documentation, link to the Unicis Docs, and community Discord invite. \\Tool: FreeScout
- 7-day check-in — Automated Mautic email at day 7: “How is it going?” with link to feedback form. Predrag reviews opens and replies in FreeScout. \\Tool: Mautic, FreeScout
- Handoff to ongoing success — Add customer to the active customer Matrix channel or Discord. Assign to Alexander for ongoing support and community engagement. \\Tool: Matrix, Discord
Output
The process is complete when:

- Dolibarr — CRM record, quoting, invoicing, customer lifecycle

- Wise — payment link for invoice
- Unicis Platform — customer's actual product environment
- Matrix / Discord — ongoing customer community
Notes / Exceptions
- EU Projects participants: Organisations joining via OSCRAT, VIC, or other EU projects may have free access. Skip the conversion steps; ensure they are in Dolibarr as a project-linked account.
- Self-hosted customers: Steps 8–9 differ — they receive a licence key from billing.unicis.tech rather than a SaaS upgrade. Document separately once billing.unicis.tech is live.
- Inbound partner referrals: Note the referring partner in Dolibarr for commission tracking.
