A Transforming Journey to Operational Excellence

Despite its successful and diverse portfolio spanning across various business branches, Christine Valmy has grappled with the challenge of effectively managing and tracking relationships, which posed challenges for their growth.

Streamlining the Success with No-Code Power

Creatio emerged as a catalyst for transformation, empowering Christine Valmy to redefine its processes. The company began collaborating with Creatio experts to address the complexities arising from multiple business divisions and diverse customer segments.

The immediate priority was to enhance support for the schools, where various departments engage with individuals throughout their lifecycle, from student prospects to students to graduates who become professionals. As the teams lacked transparency between customer interactions and each other, it led to data fragmentation and communication gaps. Additionally, they relied on time-consuming manual processes that frequently necessitated updates on changes, leading to significant repetition of data entry.

Christine Valmy and Creatio immediately started working on efficiency by simplifying processes and creating workflows in the system. The objective was clear: streamline student interactions across the entire journey to provide a clear understanding of the stage and students’ needs. Consequently, access to pupils’ data helped optimize interdepartmental communication and collaboration, providing a personalized experience.

Creatio team was extremely involved in ensuring that the platform functioned in a way that supported our business, particularly by customizing our lead nurture track for enrollment advisors to use and configuring the system to maintain rosters of students within our complicated modular course structure.

From Complexity to Clarity

The migration process began with the import of all the existing data into the no-code platform. Once transferred, the company started customizing their new CRM to address all the complex and wide-ranging requests.

Thanks to its composable architecture and no-code features, Creatio centralized student information and provided a holistic view of customers. Now, all information lives in one space, where users can easily access and track data and changes. Communication is consolidated into the system, which now serves as the go-to hub.

Additionally, by implementing customized workflows, Christine Valmy employees no longer waste time on burdensome or time-consuming tasks, and overall operational efficiency has increased. The centralized hub together with established automated business processes minimized data entry entry and enhanced transparency regarding the status of prospects and students across departments.

Working with Inovus to enhance the functionality of our Creatio instance has been a game-changer for us. The team’s knowledge of the platform, ability to strategize the best approach to achieve our configuration goals, and efficiency in execution have allowed us to fully leverage the power of the Creatio software. Equally importantly, they have learned the intricacies of our business, which has allowed them to ensure we are utilizing this tool the best we can to streamline processes and maximize data insights.

Automation that Transformed the Student Experience

Christine Valmy integrated the entire enrollment and student management processes into the no-code platform, and it marks a significant milestone for the company. With this implementation, enrollment advisors can now track the progress of prospects through the lead nurture track, ensuring the timely creation of financial aid records when needed. This streamlines the financial aid team’s initiation of their respective processes within their dedicated nurture track.

Furthermore, when a student reaches the point of readiness to enroll, the enrollment advisor, based on the data analyzed through the system, can select the preferred curriculum, language, schedule, and start date, effectively populating them into a group and establishing a comprehensive class roster. Simultaneously, this pivotal action triggers the generation of a student record within the student’s database, serving as a beacon for the student services team to assume responsibility for nurturing the relationship further.

By leveraging Creatio’s capabilities, Christine Valmy optimizes its enrollment and student management processes, ensuring a seamless experience for both staff and students while laying a solid foundation for long-term relationship nurturing and organizational growth.

Our ultimate goal is making life easier for our teams, equipping them with the information and tools they need to excel in their roles efficiently and seamlessly. We’re dedicated to this pursuit, and seeing it come to fruition is our greatest achievement.
