“The consultation helped us take a step back and assess our key challenges, and gain a better understanding of where our main levers for impact lay. We were able to develop a clear plan, realign our priorities, and quickly implement strategic decisions. Without them, I would never have been able to bring about such rapid change within the group.”

Pitch

Geolid has set itself a mission: to help local businesses boost their visibility and digital performance.

The company operates a SaaS platform for local marketing and is embarking on a strategic transition to a new product, designed as a Trojan horse to capture new market share and lay the groundwork for the company’s financial scalability.

Objectives

Your growth doesn't rely solely on Marketing and Sales.

A product that doesn't deliver on its promises is doomed to failure, even with the best marketing and sales people:

Challenge

From Problem to Solution: How Geolid Overcame Its Challenges

Geolid faced several challenges that hindered its growth and development. Here’s how Stellar helped overcome these obstacles to accelerate their growth and achieve their goals.

#1 Critical legacy debt → dilution of technical efforts

Up to 40% of time is consumed by legacy systems → inability to invest in high-impact initiatives.

Assessment of the legacy → clear reallocation plan

Analysis of development time and dependencies → prioritization of investments with the highest ROI.

#2 Forced roadmap → loss of business focus

Accumulation of legacy initiatives → scattered resources and low ROI

Strategic reprioritization → focus on value

Rebalancing between profitable legacy products and target products → business-aligned allocation decisions

#3 Strong product vision → need for alignment with technical implementation

A strong design vision was significantly hindered by a tech team focused on backend/JavaScript logic, leading to friction with management.

Product structuring → streamlined and rapid execution

Implementation of OKRs, KPIs, and product rituals → team alignment and improved execution.
