Vertex Tech Shortens Sales Cycles by 45%

How an 18-person cybersecurity firm unified sales and delivery on one platform — and closed deals nearly twice as fast.

The Challenge

Vertex Tech provides managed cybersecurity services to mid-market businesses. Their sales team lived in HubSpot while their delivery engineers worked exclusively in Jira. The handoff between closing a deal and kicking off implementation was a black hole of lost context.

Sales reps couldn't see delivery timelines, so they over-promised. Engineers received bare-bones handoff notes, forcing them to re-discover client requirements. Prospects waited days for custom security assessments because the proposal process required manual data gathering across systems.

  • Sales-to-delivery handoff losing critical client context
  • Average sales cycle of 68 days due to slow proposal turnaround
  • Engineers re-discovering requirements after every deal close
  • No unified view of pipeline health alongside delivery capacity

The Solution

Vertex Tech consolidated sales and delivery into Dewx over three weeks, creating a seamless flow from first touch to fully deployed security services.

GTM Hub — Deal Pipeline

Full pipeline visibility with deal stages tied directly to delivery milestones and engineer availability.

CX Hub — Implementation Tracking

Security assessment templates and onboarding workflows that auto-populate from deal data at close.

Portal — Client Comms

Unified inbox where sales, pre-sales, and delivery communicate with prospects in one shared thread.

Dew AI — Security Proposals

AI-generated security assessment proposals using client infrastructure data, cutting creation from days to hours.
