Totango is an enterprise customer success platform that uses a composable 'SuccessBLOC' architecture — pre-built use-case modules (onboarding, adoption, renewal) that can be activated independently. After merging with Catalyst, Totango now covers the full CS and RevOps spectrum.
Product Overview
Totango's SuccessBLOC model lets companies activate the exact customer success workflows they need without a lengthy implementation. Each BLOC is a pre-built combination of segments, health scores, and playbooks for a specific CS use case. The Catalyst acquisition brings front-line CSM workflow tools to the platform.
Key Features
- SuccessBLOCs: Pre-built, activatable modules for onboarding, adoption, renewal, and expansion.
- Spark AI: AI-generated health summaries, risk alerts, and recommended next actions.
- Segmentation Engine: Dynamic account segmentation using any combination of product and CRM data.
- Journey Orchestration: Multi-touch customer journeys spanning email, in-app, and CSM tasks.
- Portfolio Dashboard: Real-time view of ARR at risk, health distribution, and renewal pipeline.

RevOps Jobs-to-Be-Done

KPI: Scale CS coverage from 1 CSM per 50 accounts to 1 CSM per 150 accounts with automation
- Renewal and expansion pipeline management — CS Ops uses Totango to track renewal probability, expansion opportunities, and at-risk accounts — giving CS leadership a live view of NRR pipeline similar to sales pipeline views. KPI: Increase NRR from 105% to 115% by systematically identifying and actioning expansion opportunities
