Case overview

Like most startups, one of Vindi’s greatest challenges is to accelerate acquiring new customers. They are faced with the obstacle of growing quickly while demonstrating value to clients and helping them get the most out of their service. This customer onboarding process is Another key obstacle to their fast growth is being able to demonstrate value to their new clients and to teach them how to make the most of their product. This process is called Customer Onboarding.

At the end of 2019, Vindi transitioned from a manually-controlled customer onboarding and accreditation process to using Pipefy as their workflow management and Sales/CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software. After a short adaptation period, Vindi’s team started seeing results with Pipefy and was able to take control of their entire post-sales operations. Pipefy is hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), assuring a safe and reliable information flow.

Vindi before Pipefy

  • Multiple tools (spreadsheets and task management softwares) for handling the same client entry and accreditation process — with no way to have each software connect to one another.
  • Manual and decentralized processes where information had to be tracked down and was often lost in the shuffle.
  • Difficulty tracking what process phase customers were in, leading to longer onboarding sessions and a disorganized customer experience.
  • Difficulty measuring process results and evaluating metrics. Without results to review, they didn’t know what was working or where their bottlenecks were.
  • Lost data because of the lack of communication between the Sales and Onboarding teams. Onboarding team had a hard time contacting new clients, harming the new client experience.

Vindi after Pipefy

  • Centralized and secure data. Mandatory form fields avoid cracks in communications and data can be accessed by everyone on the Vindi team.
  • Automated processes increased efficiency and freed up time to spend on other projects. Automating tasks such as email messages to clients and stakeholders meant the onboarding process could now run a lot quicker.
  • Salesforce integration so the onboarding process now automatically begins when a new sale is closed in the CRM.
  • New ability to measure performance indicators and create reports so bottlenecks and successes are easier to identify.
  • Connections between processes allowed workflows to begin where others ended — for example, when a client completes onboarding, another process is automatically started in the Customer Support team.

We were at a point in which we needed tools to help with high demand of new customers. And we chose Pipefy because it was a single platform in which we could centralize data, gain efficiency, and measure results.”
