QuikClaims is an estimating services company that negotiates with insurance adjusters on behalf of contractors to justify line items’ viability for inclusion and coverage, lessening their clients’ property insurance costs. They write detailed estimates for contractors, public adjusters, attorneys, and policyholders. Their team includes top-tier construction professionals, expert client-facing price adjustors, and building consultants.
QuikClaims sought support to build out their project management system for their sales and operations teams. They had massive operational congestion from the amount of manual effort going into email correspondence with clients to sign contracts. They did not have a way of knowing if clients signed contracts or documents unless the clients emailed back, which created clouds of mystery concerning client activity and a less than stellar customer experience. Without client activity, notifications, or workflow automations set up regarding documents, payments, and invoices, opportunities were at risk of slipping through the cracks. Realizing they were leaving money on the table, QuikClaims chose to implement monday.com to address these problems. Without direction or a mapped business process to design a project management system, they had to figure things out by trial and error. The result? An overabundance of conflicting automations that duplicated workflows, making it difficult for employees to navigate the system, causing distress, confusion, and a less-than-enthusiastic reception by their team of the newly purchased technology.
They needed a way to create integrations and automations to streamline their whole system, so they sought OBO’s professional help.
OrangeDot assessed QuikClaims operations through interviews and detailed tech-scoping. OrangeDot’s professional conclusion was to design and architect an entirely new project management system using monday.com. OrangeDot created a BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) map by evaluating QuikClaims’ current processes, needs, and requirements. Using this map, OrangeDot developed a system that met QuikClaims’ unique business process and user requirements, with seamless workflow processes through customizing fitting integrations and automations.
OrangeDotused Integromat to connect monday.com with the software applications that QuikClaims utilize to function. By doing so, OrangeDot was able to automate workflow processes to create a holistic project management system.
OrangeDot integrated monday.com with Docusign to send out a document to QuikClaims’ client when an estimator updated a status item on monday.com. When a client signs a document, a QuikClaims administrative professional gets notified to assign an estimator to the client.
OrangeDot then integrated Quickbooks’ payment features into the process. When a client signs a DocuSign contract, it triggers monday.com to create an item, which also triggers Quickbooks to generate a financial record. Once an estimator finishes an assessment, they click to change a status item on monday.com to trigger an action to send the estimate and invoice to the client via email. OrangeDot set up the automated email to have forms where the client can type in their payment information.
OrangeDot also solved QuikClaims clients’ issue of not being able to see the status of their projects. Clients can now access monday.com as a guest to see their project. As estimators work on their client’s project, the client can see status-changes in real-time. The client can log in on monday.com, or they can opt to be notified via email for status updates on their project. They can also use the conversation tool on monday.com to communicate with their estimator if they want additional information.
OrangeDot customized dashboard views for each department to polish the mechanics of how work gets done, eliminating employee confusion. By removing the need for employees to navigate their work scope, they can prioritize their tasks and increase their efficiency and productivity.
A detailed implementation plan is necessary when building a project management system; without a concrete plan, all processes, teams, and clients will topple over each other, creating a costly tangle of technology and data. OrangeDot tailored QuikClaims’ project management system to their employees’ and clients’ needs, dramatically improving their overall business process and customer experience. QuikClaims was able to streamline communication and interactivity among its stakeholders by creating people-focused solutions, increasing overall efficiency and effectiveness. QuikClaims can now establish trust with its clients and build loyalty with its new transparent process and system.
