Transforming Customer Management for a Leading Canadian Insurance Company
Our client is a leading insurance and wealth management company in Canada, with operations extending internationally. Their services cater to the financial, physical, and mental well-being of their clients, meeting insurance, retirement, and investment needs. However, like many large enterprises, they faced challenges in managing their customer relationships due to fragmented legacy systems.
​
Challenges: The client was grappling with multiple legacy systems for customer management, which created significant inefficiencies. Advisors had no single source of truth and struggled to track and manage their clients' insurance policies, wealth management products, and services.
This led to:

A disjointed customer experience with inconsistent data across systems
-
Time-consuming processes for advisors, limiting their ability to provide personalized and efficient service
-
Limited visibility into real-time customer data and insights
-
Delayed decision-making due to scattered data points and ineffective reporting mechanisms
​
The client needed a solution that would unify their systems, streamline operations, and allow their advisors to manage client relationships efficiently.
Solutions Implemented: Winobell developed and implemented a custom Salesforce Community solution designed to integrate data from various legacy systems into a single platform. This community provided real-time visibility and empowered advisors to manage their client base more effectively.

Customer Community Platform:

A unified platform that combined data from multiple legacy systems, offering advisors a holistic view of customer interactions, policies, and product ownership.

Revolutionizing the Pet Care Industry Through Digital Solutions
Our client, one of Canada’s leading pet food providers, specializes in delivering tailored nutritional solutions for pets, ensuring they live in optimal health. They wanted to enhance their digital engagement by creating a platform that would enable veterinarians to seamlessly access nutrition tools and order pet food for their clients. Although the client had a Salesforce setup utilizing Sales and Service Cloud, they sought to build a more connected, efficient platform that addressed their evolving needs.
Challenges:
Despite having a Salesforce org in place, the client faced significant challenges:
- Disconnected Processes: The existing systems didn’t provide a seamless experience for veterinarians looking to manage nutrition tools or order pet food. The platform lacked a unified system for easy access and communication.
- Inefficient Case Management: Delayed responses to support requests led to a high volume of customer complaints. Veterinarians experienced long resolution times, affecting their ability to deliver timely care.
- Lack of Centralized Product Support: Managing product inquiries and support cases required better automation and tracking to improve overall service.
To remain competitive and improve customer satisfaction, the client needed a digital platform that would unify these processes, enhance service efficiency, and support growth in order management.

3. 360-Degree Customer View:
- The Salesforce solution was optimized to give the client a complete 360-degree view of customer portfolios and engagements. This allowed the company to better track interactions, orders, and inquiries, ensuring they could proactively manage relationships and provide better service.

- By leveraging Salesforce’s Omni-Channel capabilities, Winobell integrated multiple communication channels—email, chat, and phone—into one cohesive system. Automation was applied to speed up case resolution and improve response times, especially for routine product support queries.
Key Benefits:
1. 80% Reduction in Customer Complaints:
With the new case management system in place, veterinarians experienced faster response times, leading to an 80% reduction in complaints about delayed resolutions. Cases were routed and resolved more efficiently, improving the overall experience for users of the Vet portal.
2. 30% Increase in Orders via Vet Portal:
The optimized platform for placing pet food orders resulted in a 30% increase in orders over just six months. This growth was driven by the enhanced usability of the portal and the increased confidence veterinarians had in the timely processing and delivery of their orders.
3. 360-Degree View for Improved Customer Engagement:
The new solution provided the client with real-time visibility into veterinarian interactions and behaviors. With centralized data on customer preferences and interactions, they could tailor their marketing efforts and customer outreach, driving stronger engagement and loyalty.
4. Efficiency & Cost Savings:
The integration of Omni-Channel capabilities and automation reduced the time spent on manually handling customer queries and orders. The automated workflows ensured that inquiries were handled quickly and routed efficiently, reducing operational costs while boosting productivity.
