ABOUT THE CLIENT
Luminous sells workflow automation software to mid-market operations teams, with a sales-assisted self-serve motion. Marketing owned top-of-funnel; sales owned everything after a demo request — and the two teams' dashboards never agreed.
Marketing and sales, arguing over the same leads
Marketing's platform dashboards showed strong lead volume from paid channels; sales' CRM showed most of those leads never converting to pipeline. Neither team had visibility into the other's data, so budget conversations turned into finger-pointing instead of decisions.
One pipeline, attributed end to end
Tensor connected ad platforms, the marketing site, and the CRM into a single attribution chain from first click to closed-won revenue, with weekly reporting both teams could see and trust.
A number both teams believe
With first-click-to-closed-won attribution in place, Luminous identified that two "underperforming" paid channels were actually driving their highest-quality pipeline — sales just hadn't been crediting them. Reallocating budget toward those channels more than doubled pipeline velocity the following quarter.

We stopped debating whose dashboard was right and started making decisions off one number everyone trusts.
