ONBOARDING DESIGN

Automate administration without automating the relationship.

Use automation for intake forms, document requests, internal task creation, reminders and status visibility. Keep the welcome conversation, expectation setting, exceptions and sensitive decisions with the account owner. A strong onboarding workflow gives both the client and team clarity about what happens next.
