Overview
This guide outlines the steps for managing customer assignments, mergers, acquisitions (M&A), and entity name changes. It is designed to help employees understand the necessary actions and ensure smooth transitions while maintaining compliance and customer satisfaction.
What is a Customer Assignment?
A transfer of customer agreements due to corporate restructuring, mergers, or acquisitions.
Steps to Follow:
- Ensure all relevant details about the customer and the assignee are documented.
- Use the Assignment Agreement and Ownership Change Form, available on the shared drive, to record details and signatures.
- Send completed forms to customersupport@samsara.com for further processing.
Note: Legal and Finance teams will handle approvals and ensure compliance internally.
What is an Entity Name Change?
When a business legally changes its name, often due to rebranding or restructuring.
Steps to Follow:
- Notify Finance: Submit the completed Ownership Change Form (available on the shared drive) to finance-transformations@samsara.com.
- Update Records: Ensure the new entity name is reflected in all relevant systems (e.g., billing, CRM).
- Communicate to Customers: Notify customers of the name change, including instructions for updating their records.
Note: Internal teams will manage regulatory filings and ensure compliance.
Handling Non-Creditworthy Customers
For customers who do not meet Samsara’s creditworthiness criteria:
