Zonos is a software company headquartered in St. George, Utah, whose software allows businesses to automate the complexities of international e-commerce. This includes automating the calculation, collection, and remittance of duties and taxes.
The software company makes it easy for international shoppers to make purchases on websites with language and currency localization and the ability to prepay duties and taxes. Zonos also automates cross-border compliance and HS code generation.
Although the company strived to improve their customers’ international shopping experience, they faced challenges when getting these clients up and running with their software. Especially those with complex software integrations that varied in requirements.
The previous system Zonos used for their customer onboarding was clunky and lacked the flexibility they needed, making the experience cumbersome and inefficient. This prompted Zonos to seek a more dynamic and user-friendly solution. That solution turned out to be Process Street.
“Initially, we underestimated Process Street. We didn’t think an onboarding tool not specifically designed for our niche would meet our needs. However, once we began exploring the tool’s features, particularly its dynamic capabilities and Zapier integration, we were sold.”

Challenges faced by Zonos
Before leveraging Process Street, Zonos faced multiple challenges:
- Complexity of onboarding: Zonos’ products required varied and complex integrations. Their previous onboarding tool was too rigid and cumbersome, complicating the process.
- Lack of customization and visibility: Their previous system lacked the necessary customization and visibility, making it hard to track progress and requirements.
- Inefficient document management: Having to hyperlink documents and videos created an inefficient process requiring customers to switch between tabs.
Benefits gained by implementing Process Street
Process Street provided solutions through dynamic workflows, seamless integrations, embedded documents and videos, and clear task visibility. This helped Zonos benefit from:
Improved customization and ease of use
Before Process Street, Zonos had relied on a different onboarding software which fell short in customization and ease of use. “We needed a tool that could adapt to our intricate product offerings and streamline repeatable steps while allowing necessary customizations,” Emilee explains.
Seamless integration of documents and videos
With Process Street, Zonos achieved exactly that. The ability to embed documents and videos directly into tasks transformed their onboarding process.
“Our previous tool required hyperlinks that opened in new tabs, complicating the process. With Process Street, everything is integrated seamlessly within each task, making it simple and user-friendly.”

Significant reduction in onboarding time
The results speak for themselves. “Our goal was to reduce onboarding time to 30 days. In just two months, Process Street helped us bring it down from 58 days to 35 days, exceeding our expectations,” Emilee reports. “It has not only sped up the process but also improved the clarity and efficiency of our workflows.”
Enhanced efficiency for complex integrations
At Zonos, the onboarding process involves complex integrations that often take several months to complete. “We onboard about 30 clients a month, with many taking up to six or seven months to fully integrate. We’re always looking for ways to make this faster and more efficient. Process Street has been crucial in helping us achieve this,” says Emilee.
Continuous improvement through user feedback
Emilee handles the creation and iteration of the workflows, taking on feedback from the onboarding team and clients to continuously refine the processes. “We’ve made numerous adjustments based on user feedback, ensuring the process is as smooth and efficient as possible, ” explains Emilee.

Zonos uses Process Street for:

- Integrating documents and videos into onboarding tasks
- Automating notifications and task assignments through Slack and Zapier

While their current primary use of Process Street is for client onboarding, Zonos sees potential for expanding its use.
