Milestones Delivering like Dominos for service businesses.

Y Combinator Cohort W23

Service-based businesses spend countless hours communicating with clients and updating them on projects.

To improve customer experience and streamline your operations they need to provide insight to customers on the status of work in progress, on-site visits special orders, and more.

How would a service-based founder automate this process of customer updates?

Look no further than Milestones, a Y Combinator Winter โ€˜23 company that specializes in providing customized client portal solutions for service businesses and both app and text-based automated status updates for customers. Just like Dominoโ€™s Pizza. ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•

Meet Joshua Christensen, the co-founder of Milestones, who shared how their platform is revolutionizing the way service businesses and their clients interact. With Milestones, businesses can eliminate unnecessary communication and improve customer experience along with automatic update notifications for end customers.

But how does it work? Milestones' platform integrates seamlessly with CRMs, enabling businesses to offer their clients a personalized client portal that is specifically tailored to their needs. This allows for easy data flow between the client portal and the CRM, ensuring that all information is up-to-date and accurate and then customers have a series milestone (see what they did there) based update letting them know the status of their Service case or visit.
