CHALLENGE
Increasing Churn Caused by an Outdated User Experience
SmartBorder was losing customers because their vehicle exports web application had an old look & feel, and lacked automation features. Their goal was to simplify and automate the process of exporting vehicles from the U.S. to Canada, while modernizing the user interface.
They needed to enhance the quality of the application while ensuring a timely delivery for their customers. However, their software engineering team was already busy.
SOLUTION
Modernization of the Web Application
Our solution focused on modernizing the web application, not only in terms of its visual identity but also by enhancing its functionality. This modernization process began with a rebranding effort, giving the application a fresh and contemporary visual identity.
To streamline and simplify the export process, we introduced enhanced communication tools. These tools include a live chat feature for real-time assistance, automated email and SMS alerts to keep users informed throughout the export process, and automated PDF generation to simplify paperwork. Additionally, users can now easily attach necessary documents, making the process more efficient.
Efficient payment processing is crucial for a seamless user experience. To achieve this, we integrated Stripe, a well-known, secure payment processing platform. This integration not only ensures secure transactions but also provides users with an improved payment interface for added convenience.
Our team identified a significant opportunity for improvement in the overall process, and delivered a customer web portal designed for real-time tracking and management of export operations. This portal empowers users by offering transparency and control over the export process. It serves as a top-tier support tool, providing users with the information they need when they need it.
Currently, our dedicated team continues to prioritize ongoing support, implementing improvements, and promptly resolving any potential issues. This dedication guarantees the consistent delivery of top-notch performance for AutoExports’ valued customers.
