Before Klarity, we spent more time manually completing order form review checklists than we were reviewing them.”

Cloudflare faced a daunting challenge: managing over 20,000 orders annually while relying on sprawling spreadsheets and manual reviews for revenue assurance. This critical process was the backbone of their financial operations, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and audit readiness. However, it was bogged down by inefficiencies, human errors, and an over-reliance on manual effort.
Reliance on shared spreadsheets and manual workflows introduced errors and undermined data accuracy. Teams spent countless hours inputting and cross-checking data, only to encounter inconsistencies that rippled across workflows. These errors not only complicated audits and compliance with ASC 606 but also led to delayed financial close cycles, hampering Cloudflare’s ability to scale effectively. The repetitive, low-value nature of the work drained team morale and pulled focus away from strategic initiatives that could drive growth and innovation.
