Key Points

  • Higharc is modernizing the home building industry with a connected platform for production homebuilders.
  • The company secured a $53 million Series B investment, and wins by providing cohesive experiences for customer success.

Our customers can't be expected to have each of their partners work in silos. We’re going to lean into more singular cohesive experiences... It comes down to modeling the behavior of the core principle of the software, which is connected experiences.

Nathan Fiedler

Head of Customer Success | Higharc

Home building is known for being slow moving and untouched by technological advances. Ready for systemic upheaval with a hyper-focus on customer experience, it's being revamped by companies like Higharc, creators of the first ever connected platform tailored for production homebuilders that redefines how they build and operate. 

Needed disruption: "If you're not familiar with home building tech, it is ripe for disruption," says Nathan Fiedler, Head of Customer Success at Higharc. "It is an industry that has been failed in many ways due to a lack of singularity and cohesion from a user experience perspective. We found our sweet spot by creating this home building classic, a connected platform that allows home builders to design, sell, and build homes and communities.”

"People expect hyper-personalized experiences," Fiedler added. "At Higharc, we are a high-touch model with our builders because when people invest in our technology, they're signing up for a transformation."

Higharc’s efforts have gained significant validation outside of thankful customers, including a $53 million Series B investment. 

NF on customer relationships: Historically home builders may not be used to their own customer support, and this newfound visibility is key to Higharc’s customer service strategy: 

"We should feel like an extension of our customers' businesses. We know what metrics they're looking at from a performance perspective. We generally know the trending direction of those metrics. We know the pulse of the company, what projects are on board, and what land opportunities they may be trying to get into. We know when communities are launching, how many homes per year they're trying to lock in, and how many starts they have. We're just dialed in."

Fiedler emphasized Higharc’s commitment to customer success, monitoring signals like property utilization, invoicing trends, and satisfaction scores. "Our goal is to create the best customer experience we possibly can for our builders. It’s making sure that not only do we have the signals on paper, but we have that relationship with our folks that we’ve nurtured, where there’s that level of transparency and trust."

NF on cohesion vs. silos: Higharc aims to deliver integrated customer experiences by collaborating with ERP solutions and consulting partners. "Our customers can't be expected to have each of their partners work in silos," Fiedler said. "We’re going to lean into more singular cohesive experiences... It comes down to modeling the behavior of the core principle of the software, which is connected experiences."

NF on customer success metrics: Finally, Fiedler highlighted the importance of understanding customer satisfaction at every level. "It’s not just about them using the product and giving a good CSAT score. Who provided it? Does their CFO feel they have the proper ROI to continue investing? Despite having all the right signals, you need to ask the right questions and align with expectations."
