The Challenge

Our client’s Global Customer Success division needed to improve their ability to identify high-risk customers for their Customer Success Managers (CSM). Their rule-based churn prediction approach was yielding below-industry benchmarks and couldn’t support the proactive, data-driven strategy required for customer retention.

Key challenges included:

  • Low predictive accuracy with existing rules-based model

  • Siloed customer data across systems

  • Limited scalability for growth

  • Inadequate foresight into churn risk

The Solution: CloudEQS + Snowflake Snowpark

CloudEQS implemented a scalable machine-learning solution within Snowflake’s Snowpark platform.

Project Highlights:

  • Centralized Customer Data – Unified customer entitlements, product telemetry, support cases, CSAT/NPS scores, product defects, renewal insights, and sentiment—all within Snowflake.

  • Advanced ML Engineering – Leveraged Snowpark’s Feature Store to power:

    • ML-based classification models

    • Continuous learning for dynamic model updates

    • Combined algorithm selection

    • Hyperparameter optimization for accuracy

  • Scalable Implementation – Delivered an end-to-end solution—from data ingestion to ML modeling—within a modern data architecture.

The Results

Now, the client’s Customer Success and Renewal teams now proactively identify at-risk accounts up to four quarters in advance, enabling timely and strategic engagement.

Key Metrics:

  • 85% accuracy in identifying churn risk accounts
  • 61% accuracy in identifying down-sell risk accounts 
  • $6.6m in potential down-sell revenue identified 
  • 4x improvement in churn prediction capabilities
