Background

AwesomeHost is a web hosting and website services provider supporting SMEs with domains, hosting, email, and ongoing website support. The business runs in a high-volume environment where customers expect quick turnaround, clear communication, and reliable service—especially during onboarding and renewals.

As the customer base grew, day-to-day operations became more complex. Enquiries, onboarding tasks, technical setup, support requests, renewals, and billing follow-ups all needed coordination across the team. With work happening across different channels and tools, the risk increased: missed steps, delayed responses, and inconsistent follow-through during busy periods.

AwesomeHost needed one structured system to manage the full customer lifecycle—from enquiry to setup to ongoing support and renewal. The focus was to improve visibility, standardise internal workflows, and keep customer records, tasks, support handling, and billing connected so nothing slips through the cracks.

The challenges

With increasing volume, operational consistency became the biggest risk—especially when work moved between sales, technical setup, and support. Tracking renewals, outstanding invoices, and customer requests across multiple channels also created unnecessary back-and-forth.

Customer onboarding relied on manual coordination, making it easy for steps to be missed during busy periods.

Support requests and client communication were spread across channels, reducing visibility and slowing resolution.

Billing, renewals, and payment follow-ups needed tighter tracking to reduce late renewals and missed collections.

Operational reporting was limited, making it harder to see workload, service status, and priority actions quickly.

“IXL CORE helped us bring structure to how we manage hosting customers — from onboarding and support to invoicing and renewals. The team now works from one system, and follow-through is much more consistent.”
Magdalene Naisola – CEO

The Solution

IXL CORE was implemented as AwesomeHost’s operational hub—connecting customer records, sales follow-ups, service delivery tasks, support handling, and billing into one workflow. This created a standard way of managing the customer lifecycle from enquiry to setup to ongoing support and renewal.

What IXL CORE enabled the team to implement:

Structured customer management: A single view of every customer, services subscribed, key notes, and next actions.

Task-based delivery workflows: Setup and technical work tracked with owners and deadlines for consistent onboarding.

Support tracking with accountability: Requests logged and managed through a structured workflow so nothing gets lost.

Billing and renewal follow-through: Invoices, payments, and renewals tracked clearly, improving collections and continuity.

The Result

With workflows consolidated, AwesomeHost improved consistency across onboarding, support, and billing. Teams gained clearer visibility of what was pending, what was completed, and what required follow-up—reducing admin pressure and improving customer experience.

Cleaner onboarding and fewer missed steps, improving turnaround from sign-up to go-live.

Faster support handling with clearer ownership and better visibility across requests.

Stronger billing and renewal tracking, improving follow-through and reducing missed collections.

Clearer operational visibility, helping the team prioritise work and respond faster during peak
