Client Overview:
A B2B SaaS platform offering project management tools for small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Despite providing valuable features, the company faced a high customer churn rate and slow user growth.
Challenge:
The SaaS startup was facing a churn rate of over 20%, meaning that nearly a fifth of their customers left the platform every month. This high churn made it difficult to scale, as acquiring new customers was expensive and unsustainable. The key challenges were:
- Identifying the causes of customer churn
- Delivering personalized, timely interventions to retain customers
- Improving user engagement and satisfaction to increase long-term retention
Solution: AI/ML-Powered Churn Prediction and Retention Strategy
Allkenso deployed a data-driven strategy powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning to tackle churn. The solution focused on identifying churn patterns, predicting at-risk customers, and delivering automated retention efforts.
1. AI-Driven Churn Prediction Model: Allkenso developed a machine learning model that analyzed historical user data, including login frequency, feature usage, support interactions, and more. The model identified patterns in user behavior that indicated potential churn, allowing the company to predict which customers were likely to leave within a 30- to 60-day window.
Outcome: The model achieved an 85% accuracy rate in predicting at-risk users, enabling the client to act before the customer churned.
2. Automated Retention Campaigns Using ML Insights: Based on the churn prediction model, Allkenso set up automated email and in-app messaging campaigns that triggered when users exhibited behavior patterns associated with churn. These campaigns offered personalized incentives like product tutorials, account health checks, or discounts based on the customer’s usage and needs.
Outcome: This proactive outreach helped re-engage users and increased retention by 30% in the first three months.
3. Behavioral Insights and Feature Optimization: Using AI-powered analytics, Allkenso identified which features were most and least used by different customer segments. We found that certain key features were underutilized by customers who eventually churned. This insight led to targeted onboarding and educational initiatives, such as personalized walkthroughs and video tutorials, designed to help users derive maximum value from these features.
Outcome: Feature adoption increased by 40%, reducing the likelihood of churn among new and existing users.
4. Dynamic Customer Feedback Loop: Allkenso integrated an AI-driven sentiment analysis tool to analyze user feedback and support interactions. The tool detected common complaints, frustrations, and feature requests, enabling the client to prioritize product updates and improve customer support processes.
Outcome: User satisfaction increased by 25%, and the client was able to address critical product issues that contributed to churn.
5. AI-Powered Customer Success Management: Allkenso implemented an AI tool to assist the client’s customer success team. The tool flagged at-risk accounts based on predictive analytics and recommended specific actions for customer success managers to take—whether offering a personalized discount, scheduling a check-in call, or proactively resolving technical issues.
Outcome: The customer success team saw a 50% improvement in efficiency, allowing them to manage a larger customer base while improving retention rates.

Thanks to Allkenso’s AI/ML-driven churn reduction strategy, the client achieved the following in just six months:
- 50% Reduction in Churn Rate: The churn rate dropped from 20% to 10%, significantly improving customer retention.
