What is a Relationship: Relationships are an object in Gainsight that provide you with the flexibility to accurately model and manage your complex customer structures by creating relationship types and relationships. Relationships takes Customer Success beyond managing Companies. They help CS manage each connection point (Relationship) with your customer.  
Gainsight offers a flexible way to define what a relationship is based on a variety of criteria including products, business unit, geography, or projects. You can create relationships Gainsight objects, as long as a Company lookup field is available.
Use Cases for Relationships can be:

  • Your organization sells multiple products to the same customer, and each product is managed by a different CSM.
  • Your organization sells multiple products to multiple divisions. You need to deliver and track Success for each separately.

To learn more about Relationships, refer to Relationships Overview.
To enable relationships, refer to Setting Up Relationships.
