When we started Velaris, the goal wasn’t to build another tool that stores data and provides dashboards.

We wanted to solve a deeper problem, one we kept seeing across Customer Success and post-sales teams.

These teams were being asked to do more than ever: manage hundreds of accounts, detect churn early, drive expansion, be more commercially driven, all while jumping between disconnected tools and spending too much time doing admin work.

But while the expectations keep rising, the tools they rely on haven’t kept up. Most are built for a bygone era. The gap between the status quo and the available truly innovative solutions compared to similar verticals is larger than ever.

So we built Velaris.

We envisioned a platform where intelligence and execution lived in one place, and where AI could do the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

That vision is more urgent than ever.

With the rise of intelligent systems, post-sales is entering a new era.

An era where AI agents quietly handle the heavy lifting, spotting risk before it becomes a problem, deciphering thousands of conversations in seconds, triggering personalised actions, and acting as a strategic soundboard. Your team is then free to focus on what truly matters: strategy, relationships, and results.

In this future, Customer Success will no longer exist as a silo. The lines between CS, Support, Onboarding, and Account Management will blur, as AI systems merge these functions to operate as one unified system.

This is the new post-sales operating model: part AI, part human.

And Velaris is here to make it a reality.

We’re no longer just building for Customer Success.

We’re building the connective tissue across all post-sales functions – CS, Onboarding, Support, and Account Management, to create one unified system.

The name Velaris reflects this duality:

  • “Polaris,” the North Star, has been used for centuries by navigators to find true north. For us, it represents customer data and the intelligence drawn from everything around it, serving as your compass for decision-making.

  • “Vela”, meaning sail in Spanish, represents execution - what moves you forward towards your goals. Where the team gets work done.

Together, they capture what we’ve always strived to build:

A platform that helps you navigate the post-sales world with intelligence and execute with precision.
