United Capital saves 56.75 person-weeks

In a strategic move to enhance the accuracy of customer data and drive organic business growth, United Capital Group embarked on a significant campaign without expanding its number of advisors or offices. The financial services firm, recognized for its commitment to helping investors use their money confidently for today and tomorrow, aimed to triple its assets and revenue within three to five years. To achieve this ambitious goal, United Capital leveraged the capabilities of Skuid, a Nintex company, to overhaul the user experience of their Salesforce system. This initiative was not just about upgrading technology; it was about redefining how the company’s employees interacted with data, improving efficiency, and fostering a more engaging environment that would ultimately lead to increased revenue and customer satisfaction. By deploying Skuid, United Capital not only saved a substantial amount in development costs but also reclaimed over 56 person-weeks of work previously lost to cumbersome, code-heavy processes, setting a new standard for how financial services companies can evolve with technology to meet business goals.

Who they are

What they need

Leadership at United Capital realized that to proactively drive both revenue growth and customer-success, the user experience of their data management system needed to dramatically reduce the amount of work necessary to complete many tasks.

How they did it

United Capital chose to deploy Skuid as a replacement for Visualforce development.

 

Challenge

Leadership at United Capital realized that to proactively drive both revenue growth and customer-success, the user experience of their data management system needed to dramatically reduce the amount of work necessary to complete many tasks. In theory, a better user interface could shorten sales cycles, improve employee productivity and in turn, generate more revenue.

Prior to using Skuid, United Capital Group had tried customizing the user experience of Salesforce® with Visualforce, a code-based user interface framework. The IT team found Visualforce to be frustrating. Visualforce pages required a developer to make even the smallest changes. With limited IT resources, their backlog grew and due to other priorities, the Visualforce interface remained basically static.

Business users did not like the results of Visualforce either. Visualforce pages lacked the speed and ease-of-use they sorely needed to get their work done and meet their goals. Many simply refused to use the system.

Solutions

United Capital chose to deploy Skuid as a replacement for Visualforce development. Initially, Skuid delivered advanced training to United Capital’s IT staff, who quickly mastered Skuid and rolled out their own internal Skuid user training program.

United Capital used Skuid to build a best-in-class user experience, mapped to its unique business processes. Throughout the initial rollout, Skuid provided ongoing support to assist United Capital IT staff as they got up to speed. Today, United Capital is self-sufficient, using Skuid to continuously iterate their user experience as the needs of its business evolve.

Results

“Skuid is a complete reinvention of how we think, how we work, and how our employees are engaged,” says Brandon Gage, Senior Vice President of Technology for United Capital. “The Skuid solution is intuitive, easy on the eyes, and fun to use. Clean, simple key visuals at the top of each page provide users with all the data they need. Customer prospects are always visible and organized in four sales-cycle stages. It is so easy there is no need for training manuals or checklists.”

Choosing Skuid generated $454,000 in initial development cost savings and significantly improved user adoption and customer data accuracy. The company recovered more than 56 person-weeks by eliminating time-intensive, hand-coded interfaces.

The results go far beyond cost savings for IT. The impact is significant to the business users as well. “You can save so much time by having happy users,” notes Gage. “Skuid makes data actionable on every single screen,” says Gage. “There is no other tool…you can bolt on and say that. Skuid is a quantum difference.”

We don’t talk about two week sprint cycles any more. Our sprint cycles are in days now.
