Case Study: Eliminate manual work with automated data capture
The challenge
One of our clients was spending a lot of time and effort in one process: manually capturing stakeholder data.
The newsletter sign-ups and stakeholder information captured on their website was being sent to the team’s emails, and then manually added into the system by the team members.
This process was not only time-consuming, but also prone to human error, leading to inconsistencies and inefficiencies in data management.
The plan
We suggested a more efficient way to handle the data, with Tractivity’s External Forms functionality. Here’s what the process looks like:
-
Automated data capture: External Forms are embedded directly into the client’s website, which allows stakeholder data to flow straight into the system without any manual input.
-
Background automation: The system automatically subscribes users and assigns them to the correct distribution lists based on the form submissions.
-
Activity tracking: Each form submission triggers an update to the stakeholder activity record, enabling effortless engagement tracking.
-
Automated reporting: Monthly reports are delivered directly to the manager’s inbox, providing clear visibility on form completion rates without relying on team input.
The result
The entire process, from data capture to reporting, was streamlined and is now completely automated.
This resulted in a significantly reduced manual workload, freeing up valuable time for the team, as well as accurate, reliable data and clear visibility into the monthly form submissions.
