Introduction
Terminus has been a Rattle customer since the 'beta days'. We're talking before Salesforce acquired Slack. Our team has been part of their growth and transformation for nearly four years. In the beginning the main reason to use Rattle was to integrate Salesforce to Slack. Since then, they have broadened their offering to support full process visualization, automation, and optimization for operations teams, all in the name of operational efficiency.

Key Features
Our team leverages several key Rattle features to boost our operations:
We use the Board feature for proactive pipeline management. This tool integrates seamlessly with our CRM and allows for easy in-line editing through a familiar table format without needing to navigate Salesforce. This keeps CRM hygiene high while saving time, reducing manual errors, and allowing updates directly in Slack conversations.
Digest keeps the team informed with scheduled summaries and proactive notifications. Our end-of-day digests capture key deal movements, ensuring that we start each day with a clear understanding of our pipeline status.
We use Deal Rooms heavily for managing complex deals. Deal Rooms create a central space for all stakeholders to access real-time deal information, enabling smooth handoffs, consistent communication, and eliminating scattered email threads. This centralized approach has been invaluable for keeping everyone aligned throughout the deal cycle.
Imagine automatically adding internal team members to the Slack channel once they get involved in the deal, allowing them to quickly catch up on everything up to that point. Then, automating the conversion from a prospect channel to a customer channel, adding in the post-sales team, and then posting a full deal summary with key handoff information—all automatically keeping everyone on the same page.
Rattle AI Meeting Intelligence provides post-call summaries, identifies deal red flags, and offers insights on the likelihood to close. The generated meeting minutes and Slack integration for follow-up emails save time and help our reps focus more on moving deals forward.
Rattle AI Deal Intelligence gives us deeper insights into deal progression, helping understand why deals were won or lost. It generates deal briefs for new internal stakeholders, ensuring that everyone stays informed, and helps create valuable product feedback loops for refining strategy.
Atlas helps map out our processes visually, allowing us to align workflows with our revenue strategy. It provides critical visibility into bottlenecks and makes onboarding new members easier by offering a clear picture of our operations.
Areas for Improvement + Things to Consider
As Rattle continues to grow and invest in new features, I recommend they stay laser-focused on simplicity of use and offer as much in-app guidance as possible. When the tool is designed to handle extreme complexity, it takes a lot of work to also reduce complexity. Some pain points I have noticed with input from past and current colleagues:
Lastly, further development of their playbooks will benefit both new users and experienced users looking for fresh ideas, providing a valuable starting point and a source of inspiration. Rattle should continue to use content and thought leadership to reinforce the value of operational efficiency. I expect that their roadmap will continue to bring in more integrations and more AI capabilities in the future.
