“As Kris Gale so eloquently put it, ‘The value is in what gets used, not what gets built.’ As the Director of Product Management at Documoto, my job is to ensure that we are listening to our customers and translating what we are hearing into high-value, high-impact and highly used features. Customer-centricity and maintaining strong partnerships with each and every customer is key in ensuring our, and our customers, long-term success.”

"Marketing for B2B is all about building relationships and cultivating trust. That's as important for our clients and partners as it is for Documoto. We all know that our buyers and users have more choice in the marketplace than they've ever had before, and providing top-notch service, support, and knowledge--a better user experience all around--is the best way to ensure everyone's success and satisfaction. Joe Chernov, a software-as-a-service marketing veteran, puts it this way: 'Good marketing makes the company look good. Great marketing makes the customer feel smart.' That's my mission at Documoto."

Manager, Customer Success
"I've spent most of my career in 'customer success' roles, but what I've learned is that success is often a subjective opinion. If the product does what the customer expects it to do? That's table stakes. Warren Buffet once said, 'You will succeed if you have delighted customers. Don't settle for satisfied.' My mission for Documoto's Customer Success team is to understand our customers' goals and create solutions that help achieve them."
ABOUT ANDI
Andi Kirtland joined Documoto in 2016, starting her career as an Implementation Specialist. A graduate of the University of Colorado Boulder's Leeds School of Business and a veteran of the construction industry, her multidisciplinary experience quickly proved to be an asset to Documoto's clients, helping her grasp their needs and challenges in their current workflows and develop solutions to make their work more effective and efficient. Today, Andi is the "voice of the customer" at Documoto: her expertise with the OEM aftermarket ecosystem of roles, software, and systems, combined with her deep understanding of the industry, helps her advocate for users, pushing for features and functionality that anticipate their needs.
When she's not managing and mentoring Documoto's Customer Success team, she can be found enjoying the natural beauty of Oregon with her husband and dog, Arlo. Her passions include exploring new destinations, practicing yoga, immersing herself in live music, trekking through nature trails, and embarking on paddleboarding adventures.
