Challenges

Barva Invest previously relied on email to deliver analytical and training materials to their clients. This method was cumbersome and prone to human error due to the manual process of compiling, attaching, and sending individual files. It was also inefficient, making it difficult to track client engagement with the materials.
From a security standpoint, sending sensitive files via email exposed them to unauthorized access and distribution risks. Emails could be intercepted, forwarded, or copied without the sender's knowledge, potentially leading to data breaches and intellectual property loss. The lack of a centralized distribution system further exacerbated these vulnerabilities.

Barva Invest previously relied on Google Drive and email to create and deliver training materials to their clients, but this approach proved ineffective and insecure due to several specific issues:
Manual process
Manual Process:
Attaching and sending individual files via email was cumbersome and prone to human error. Often, emails were sent to the wrong recipients or with incorrect attachments.
Tracking difficults
Tracking Difficulties:
Monitoring client engagement via email and Google Drive with the materials was limited.
Securiry risks
Security Risks:
Sensitive files shared via Google Drive were vulnerable to unauthorized distribution. Emails could easily be forwarded without the sender's knowledge, increasing the risk of data breaches and intellectual property theft.
Besides, the existing off-the-shelf CRM solution lacked critical user management and analytics capabilities, leading to further issues for Barva Invest:
Challenges
1

Inefficient SLA

Managing Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with corporate clients was slow and increased the risk of breaches.
2

Limited IoT

The old Java system limited custom endpoint integration, critically constraining the IoT services for 50,000 connected devices.

Objectives

Barva Invest wanted centralized client and service management and secure distribution of materials. Key objectives included:

Personalized
Client Access:

Provide clients with personalized content and service offerings based on their subscription packages.

Unified Content Curation and Management:

Update and distribute client materials seamlessly—all in one place.

Enhanced CRM:

Oversee client profiles, manage service packages, and identify upsell opportunities.

Process Optimization:

Implement automated workflows for improved service delivery.

Service
Analytics:

Generate detailed reports and insights to track client engagement and ensure service continuity.
