CRM Case Study

Build an effective business website

Building a full website design from scratch following the process of user experience and user interface.
Today, banks are changing their way of doing business; they are shifting from a transaction-based marketing approach to a relationship-based approach. Customer relationship management (CRM) has emerged as a new paradigm of marketing. 
 
We often find that businesses struggle with CRM adoption because systems are slow, difficult to use, and overly burdensome. Before you know it, teams create workarounds outside of the system and the problems become permanent.
As a product designer in charge of the CRM. My role is to make business managers’ lives a bit easier when it comes to data entry and organizing information by resolving all issues related to CRM usability. The CRM application improvement will help decrease the time users spend struggling with the application and focus more on their clients and other tasks. In addition to that, it will help improve data organization and add new features adapted to their needs.

CHALLENGE

The first step was discovering the current version of the CRM in order to have a deep understanding of each part of that.

To turn this idea into a reality, we had to make some extra efforts and perform tasks that rarely occur in other CRM development projects 

01. The client wanted to make this CRM system an admin panel for different websites. So we had to consider the structures of these resources during the development process.

2. One of the biggest challenges of the Banking Consult project is that each of the five user roles defined in the system has a different set of permissions. So our coding team must always keep a variety of user rights in mind when creating new features or making updates. 

PROCESS

Like in any industry, choosing a CRM for financial institutions.

CRM is one of the most accurate and useful tools to analyze and strategies the business strategies for many organizations, using CRM in day-to-day business helps businesses in many ways as the analysis of the work done can be done very properly and efficiently.

Lack of transparency and increasing centralization are alarming trends in digital marketing. The most popular advertising platforms tend to charge high fees and censor unwanted content. Advertisers often have to deal with malicious traffic, while publishers have their revenue, reduced by users who block advertisements.

The whole project cost consumes a lot of time and energy. Unclear requirements make estimation and valuation difficult. The creative process requires a lot of dialogue. Understanding many channels might be a hassle. Clear task delegation, obvious responsibilities and comprehensive definition of done – these are every manager’s challenges.

 

Design

Customize site navigation

Navigation is More Important Than Search, Gerry McGovern reveals that 70% of the technical audience started the task by clicking on a link; 30% used to search. With this in mind, navigation becomes a crucial part of user experience and usability since it requires little effort.

Having a clean and well-structured website navigation is key in designing an effective user interface.

Dashboard

We proposed four different layouts for CRM Dashboards

The first thing to focus the design effort was a dashboard, the main page of the admin panel. That was one of the challenging pages as it had to consist of many statistics and graphics blocks. 

Our goal was to help banks make better decisions, streamline operations, manage data and information.
We start with :
Customer Relationship Management (CRM) dashboards to bring visibility into what our customers need to do to improve there interactions. CRM dashboards come in many shapes and sizes, but they all share two key attributes: they help improve sales outcomes and unlock our customers team’s productivity.

Customer Account Overview

The branch scorecard dashboard (Exhibit 1) provides an easy, efficient way to measure key performance indicators (KPIs) and gain an accurate view of a branch’s progress toward performance targets. Although a bank’s overall health may be good, it’s important to know how individual branches are progressing toward their goals.

One dashboard metric shows real-time data of the number of opened or closed accounts for a specified period. This data can help in assessing the success of marketing campaigns and identifying other factors that might be affecting customers.

The dashboard also enables users to apply various filters to:

  • Identify opportunities for referrals
  • View a graphic display of account totals
  • Determine timing for upselling or cross-selling additional products
  • Track income and expenses against budgets
  • Measure the bank’s overall efficiency and productivity

Sometimes, banks judge their success in terms of a credit culture but might not take their deposits as seriously. A strong deposit culture is important in building sales leadership, reaching marketing goals, supporting sales governance, and measuring success compared with leading performance indicators.

The sales overview dashboard (Exhibit 2) provides the closed loop marketing insight necessary for measuring the effectiveness of marketing – from the release of a campaign to the leads generated, pipeline impact, and revenue created.

Customers are a bank’s most important asset. When customer information is scattered throughout various departments and systems, it’s difficult to get a complete picture of customer relationships and the products and services customers have been offered.

The customer service representative (CSR) dashboard (Exhibit 3) is designed to provide a 360-degree, real-time view of customer data. Because relevant information is easily accessible, the dashboard can serve as a CSR’s command central. A segmented list of work items requiring attention helps with organizing and prioritizing, while the calendar enables CSRs to determine availability and quickly schedule new activities.

 

Banks need to move from siloed customer data to an integrated, single view of the customer. The customer account overview dashboard (Exhibit 4) provides a wide variety of information, including a:

  • Consolidated customer profile including contact history
  • Financial summary including total volume and type of accounts
  • Field for entering notes upon each contact with the customer and ideas for next steps

Each consolidated customer profile can illuminate new opportunities for strengthening customer relationships. It also can help CSRs improve efficiency, provide decision-makers with more comprehensive information for assessing risk, and enable marketers to more effectively develop and target products and services.

To bring a little fun into charts and numbers.
