Logz.io has been in partnership with AWS for over 7 years, significantly strengthening their collaboration in the past 3 years by adopting Labra.io’s solutions and shifting to a marketplace-first approach. This success highlights the powerful impact of combining Cloud Marketplace and Co-sell strategies on cloud sales success.

Before partnering with Labra.io, Logz.io faced several challenges in their Co-selling and marketplace operations, limiting their ability to scale their partnership.

• Manual Processes: The co-selling process with AWS Marketplace was manual and time-consuming, involving significant effort to sync opportunities between Salesforce and AWS.
• Inefficiencies: Sales teams had to manually create private offers and extend agreements, leading to frequent errors and delays.
• Training Overhead: New sales team members required extensive training to understand the processes, diverting time away from more strategic activities.
• Error-Prone Operations: Manual data entry often resulted in mistakes, such as incorrect pricing or contract details, which impacted the efficiency and accuracy of sales operations.
• Complex buyer journey: Before listing on the Marketplace and leveraging Labra.io, the manual processes caused delays as buyers needed to verify a product’s security assessments, payment terms, and the multiple dimensions to manage.

To address these challenges, Logz.io team decided to automate the entire process with Labra.io so there could be less engineering involvement and sales could happen more efficiently. To further reduce the friction for the buyer, they decided to sell on the marketplace.

By implementing Labra’s automated solutions, Logz.io was able to address these challenges, streamline its operations, and focus on strategic growth and collaboration with AWS.

They initially adopted Labra.io for its Co-sell automation capabilities, but now are leveraging all of our products for Cloud Co-sell and Marketplace success.

1. Labra OppSync for Automatic Opportunities Sync: Ensuring all sales opportunities were consistently and accurately reflected across Salesforce and AWS, eliminating the need for manual syncing.
2. Labra Flyout for Marketplace listing: By listing on the marketplace, they were able to provide a more frictionless experience to the buyer, as well as improve their attractiveness to their Co-sell partners at AWS.
3. Labra Flyout for Private Offers: Streamlined private offer creation helped the team shift the responsibility from sales representatives to the finance team, freeing up the sales team for higher-value activities.
4. Labra Salesforce integration: Labra’s Salesforce App helps them effortlessly manage both Co-selling and Private Offers from within their Salesforce CRM.

Overall Impact:

These solutions collectively transformed Logz.io’s co-selling process and marketplace operations, ultimately boosting their partnership with AWS, and making it more efficient, scalable, and reliable.

Logz.io has seen the following benefits from using Labra for the past 2+ years. Our investments have provided an ROI of 250% within just 2 months of using the platform.

Logz.io team saves significant time and money with Labra streamlining their Cloud sales operations. Manual error-prone processes are now replaced with Labra’s automation, making the end-to-end opportunity-sharing and private offer process effortless.

Not needing to create sales training and sales enablement content further helps them as their sales reps and finance teams can function within their familiar Salesforce CRM environment.

Using one UI to handle offers and co-selling across multiple cloud providers is another big plus point. Making it easier for sales teams to work cross-platform without spending days gaining access to portals and training.

Labra’s made our Marketplace transition seamless. Tasks that could’ve taken 10 people to do manually, were made easy with Labra with very little technical effort from our end.

They are seeing more traction from AWS sellers once they are listed on the Marketplace. This marketplace-first approach in turn brings more revenue, further enabling their AWS Partnership.

We see it as a win-win for everyone.
