Casella Doesn't Have a CRM Problem.
It Has a Scale Opportunity.

Turning acquisition scale, Lead-to-Cash and Dynamics 365 into measurable commercial outcomes.

Presented by Jason Wickman · Agilidy

The Headline Number

~$5.25M

25 basis points of improved commercial execution at ~$2.1B revenue.

Illustrative scenario — not a forecast

The Context

Casella Is Already Building the Pieces of a Commercial Operating System

Based on Casella's public strategy, disclosures and current hiring signals

80+

acquisitions completed since 2018, ~$2B deployed

$1B+

of acquired annual revenue added

~$2.1B

2026 revenue guidance, ~16.9% Q2 growth

And, in parallel

New CRO owning Sales, Marketing and Customer Care
Enterprise Lead-to-Cash initiative, rollout through 2027
Multi-year technology modernization strategy
Dynamics 365 and business-systems standardization
RevOps, Sales Ops and pricing roles open now
Customer Experience leadership and analyst roles open now

Our hypothesis: these are not isolated hiring needs — they are the components of one commercial operating system.

The Distinction That Matters

Systems Integration Is Not Commercial Integration

The same acquisition can be fully integrated technically and still be commercially invisible

Systems Integration

  • Acquisition closes
  • Accounts loaded into billing and operations
  • Systems connected, data migrated
  • Revenue rolls up in the monthly report

Commercial Integration

  • Customers, contracts and renewal dates visible
  • Pricing normalized to Casella policy
  • Retention risk scored from day one
  • Sellers assigned, cross-sell quantified

How quickly does acquired revenue become fully visible, actionable and optimized as Casella revenue?

We would propose a repeatable D365 Acquisition Integration Playbook so the answer is measured in days, not quarters.

Where the Value Lives

At Casella's Scale, Small Commercial Improvements Become Material Outcomes

Four opportunity hypotheses we would validate in the first 30 days — illustrative scenarios, not forecasts

PRICE REALIZATION

Casella already prices with discipline. The opportunity is tighter connection between CRM, pricing governance, contracts, renewals, exceptions and seller actions.

10 bps ≈ $2.1M · 25 bps ≈ $5.25M · 50 bps ≈ $10.5M

CUSTOMER RETENTION

Acquisitions, price changes and system migrations create transition risk. Score customers where several risk signals appear at the same time.

0.25% protected ≈ $5.25M · 0.50% ≈ $10.5M · 1.00% ≈ $21M

ACQUISITION INTEGRATION

Compress the time between deal close and full commercial visibility — pricing, renewals, risk and ownership — across ~$165M of 2026 acquired revenue.

Value compounds across every future acquisition

CUSTOMER EXPANSION

Next Best Casella Solution across collection, disposal, recycling, organics and Resource Solutions, ranked for each customer.

Quantified cross-sell recommendations delivered to sellers

We are not claiming this revenue is being lost today. The objective of the first 30 days is to determine whether the real opportunity is $2M, $5M, $10M or more.

The Operating Model Shift

The Opportunity Is to Shorten the Distance Between Signal and Action

Reporting is not the end state — insight only creates value when it reaches a decision

What This Sounds Like Inside Casella

"37 accounts have pricing exceptions outside policy."
"14 acquired customers have renewals inside 90 days and open service issues."
"22 collection customers match the profile of Resource Solutions buyers."
"Eight strategic opportunities have stalled with no next action."

Dynamics 365, Power Platform, AI agents and Vibe365 appear here as enablers — the competitive advantage is not seeing the problem faster, it is acting on it faster.

The CRO View

One Commercial Operating View Across Sales, Marketing and Customer Care

A CRO Command Center built to drive decisions, not to report activity

CRO Command Center

REVENUE

  • New business
  • Expansion
  • Renewals
  • Price realization
  • Revenue at risk

CUSTOMER

  • Retention
  • Churn risk
  • Escalations
  • Customer health
  • Service performance

SALES

  • Pipeline coverage
  • Conversion
  • Sales cycle
  • Forecast quality
  • Next action

ACQUISITIONS

  • Migrated customers
  • Revenue integrated
  • Price normalization
  • Retention
  • Cross-sell uptake

EXECUTION

  • CRM adoption
  • Data quality
  • Process compliance
  • Open decisions
  • Adoption by region

Every measure carries an owner, a threshold and a next action — signals route to people, not to a report.

Why Speed Matters

The First Advantage Is Time

Both models can deliver quality work — they mobilize at very different speeds
