The engagement
How the build ran, start to finish
In the client's own account: the starting point, the thing that kept getting in the way, and what was built to fix it.
Where they started
One general form carried all outsourced finance support traffic. First-time inquiries and follow-ups on live matters landed in the same pile.
What was getting in the way
Day to day with outsourced finance support, subjects gave nothing away. The morning sort consumed the hour that answering should have had.
What we built
Visitors first choose what they are doing: starting a new inquiry, following up on one, or asking a general question. Each choice leads to its own route, and the new-inquiry form gathers reporting needs, current software and reconciliation status.
