The Problem: Too Many Tools, Bad Data, Slow Sales
Before using Clay, Vanta’s sales and operations teams struggled with scattered and unreliable data. Multiple tools were updating the same customer records at the same time, creating duplicate accounts, missing information, and messy CRM data.
Sales reps spent hours manually researching companies and contacts just to figure out who to reach out to. Even after identifying a good lead, it could take days before someone actually followed up.
At the same time, Vanta’s RevOps team was overwhelmed maintaining systems and fixing data problems instead of helping the business scale. As the company grew, the process became harder and harder to manage.

The Solution: Clay Became the Central Source of Truth
Vanta implemented Clay to centralize and automate its sales data workflows. Clay pulled information from multiple sources, cleaned and enriched the data automatically, removed duplicates, and synced the best information into their CRM.
Instead of sales reps doing manual research, Clay automated much of the work behind the scenes.
Clay also helped Vanta identify buying signals, such as:
- Companies raising funding
- Rapid hiring activity
- Team expansions
This allowed sales reps to reach out at the right moment, when companies were more likely to buy.
The Results: Faster Sales, Less Manual Work
After implementing Clay, Vanta achieved:
- Cleaner and more accurate CRM data
- Faster prospect research and outreach
- Same-day follow-ups instead of multi-day delays
- Thousands of enriched contacts added automatically
- Less manual work for both RevOps and sales teams
In short, Clay helped Vanta transform a messy, slow, and manual sales process into a streamlined and automated system that scaled with the business.
