Back in 2012, when we were running Digital Next in Miami and Manchester,
we started custom building mini-tools to manage the operations of our agency (which at that time was churning over $8 mil revenue)
We coded up the tools one by one- for managing the sales pipeline, organizing business leads, running text campaigns, and tracking overall performance and client reviews. Soon we saw we had built something powerful.
2008-2012 Vaibhav was running SEOnext in Manchester and Miami.
April 2012 - With things scaling up and size of SEOnext increasing to 20 people in the UK, 30 in the US and 200 in India Vaibhav and William Avila (Partner at SEOnext USA) decided to custom build a software which exactly suits the needs of the operations.
Together, Vaibhav and William drew the framework for a software that could help their agency fly higher.
October 2012 - Vaibhav and his team started building mini-tools to ease SEOnext’s (now operates as Digital Next ) pain-points, and the agency kept on scaling up and got acquired by a listed Swedish company in 2014.
13 November 2017 - Vaibhav was invited to speak at SEO Rockstars conference in Las Vegas. While presenting agency growth strategies, Vaibhav showcased bits of his inhouse software, explaining to people how it helped him scale and manage sales, projects, teams and clients and do more, all in one place.
Some agencies there really wanted to use the software themselves and even paid upfront to productise the software. And that led to the official launch of CollabX.
2018- Upgraded CollabX with new features and apps, including Blogger Outreach Tool
Present- CollabX is now used by 58 Agencies
