Vimsy sells monthly WordPress care plans covering updates, security, performance and on-demand development, so business owners never have to think about their site.
SociiLabs joined at discovery. Five weeks later, the platform was live, running Vimsy's client requests, delivery, billing and CRM history as one system.
Since launch, client requests come through one portal, the team replies in under 15 minutes instead of 4 hours, and no renewal has been missed.
02 The challenge
Grow a care-plan business client by client, without slower replies or billing slipping through the cracks.
01
A care plan is an ongoing relationship.
A care-plan client expects quick answers, proactive updates and a provider who knows their site's history. Generic helpdesk tools track tickets well, but they lose the context of the plan, the site and the person behind it.
02
Requests arrive in every shape.
Clients ask for a plugin update, a broken form fix or a new landing page in the same week. Each request needs to land in the right queue at the right priority for that client's tier, with the files and site details attached.
03
Recurring revenue depends on recurring billing.
Monthly plans live or die on renewals. Expired cards, failed charges and plan changes had to be handled automatically, so revenue never depended on someone remembering to chase an invoice.
04
Growth multiplies every manual step.
A small manual task per client is easy to absorb while the client list is short. Repeat it across every plan sold and it becomes someone's whole day. Vimsy needed operations that scale with every new plan sold, so the team could spend its time on client sites.
Why SociiLabs
One team that built the whole operating loop.
Vimsy needed a partner who could turn the way it already served clients into software, quickly. A client portal was only the front door. Our scope also covered plan-aware queueing, the delivery workflow, notifications, Stripe billing with retries, and an Attio CRM integration. We built from the way Vimsy already handled requests, showed working software as each piece landed, and shipped through a repository Vimsy owns, with a senior engineer reviewing every line before merge.
What we built
03 Solution
The client portal, and the operations system underneath it. Requests, delivery, billing and client history run as one loop, with clear rules for when a person steps in.
Client Portal
Clients submit requests, attach files and track progress in one place. Every request is tied to the client's site and care plan.
Plan-Aware Request Queue
Requests are queued and prioritised by plan tier and response target. Routine requests are routed and assigned without manual triage, so the team starts on the work instead of sorting it.
Automated Delivery Workflow
Each request moves through defined stages with built-in task lists. Status changes update the client automatically.
Notifications
Clients and the Vimsy team are notified at every stage. Response time is now under 15 minutes, down from 4 hours.
Stripe Billing + Retries
Subscriptions, renewals, plan changes and invoices run through Stripe. Retry logic re-attempts failed charges automatically, and billing failures are down 80%.
Attio CRM Integration
Every request, delivery and billing event writes to the client's Attio timeline. The team has the full history of every account in one place.

INSIDE A LIVE RECURRING-REVENUE OPERATION
Automated where the process is routine. A person on every exception.
Routine requests are queued, assigned and tracked automatically, based on each client's plan and response target. Requests outside a plan's scope, urgent site outages and billing disputes are flagged straight to a named team member. Stripe webhooks are verified and processed with idempotency keys, so a retried event never charges a client twice. Card details stay with Stripe, and the platform stores only the references it needs. Every change to a request, plan or invoice is logged with the person or system that made it.
Delivery timeline
Five weeks to a live platform. Then faster replies and every renewal on time.
We started with discovery and had the platform live five weeks later. Vimsy has run its client requests, billing and client history on it since.
WEEK 1
Discovery & Architecture
Map the request, delivery and billing loop.
WEEKS 2–4
Portal, Queue & Workflow
Client portal, plan-aware queue and delivery stages.
WEEK 5
Platform Live
Notifications, Stripe billing and Attio CRM switched on.
AFTER LAUNCH
Faster Replies
Response time under 15 minutes, from 4 hours.
SINCE LAUNCH
0 Missed Renewals
80% fewer billing failures with Stripe retries.
HOW IT STAYED RELIABLE
Every request and every invoice is accounted for.
BILLING CORRECTNESS
Stripe and the platform are reconciled every night.
Every Stripe event is verified, de-duplicated and written to the platform with its source. A nightly job compares subscriptions in Stripe with plans in the database and flags any mismatch before the next billing run.
CLIENT EXPERIENCE
Response targets are built into the queue.
Each plan tier carries a response target. Requests close to their target move up the queue and alert the assigned team member. No request sits unseen.
OPERATIONAL VISIBILITY
The full history is one click away.
Requests, deliveries, invoices and plan changes all appear on one Attio timeline. Anyone on the team can pick up a client conversation with the full context.

04 Impact & results
Impact & Results
Clients answered faster. Billing recovered automatically. Every renewal on time.
- One portal for every client request, each tied to the client's site, care plan and Attio history.
- Response time under 15 minutes, down from 4 hours, with every request queued by plan tier the moment it arrives.
- 80% fewer billing failures, with Stripe retry logic re-attempting failed charges automatically.
- 0 missed renewals since launch, with every renewal and invoice running through Stripe.
- Routine requests routed automatically by plan tier. Out-of-scope requests and urgent outages go to a person by design, so they skip the automatic route.
- 5 weeks from concept to a live platform serving Vimsy's clients.
