What We Set Out to Improve.

Business
Growing Professional Services Firm

A service company onboarding new customers through forms, document collection, agreements, internal setup, and multiple team handoffs.

Partnership
Business Workflow Automation

Coretus worked across product planning, UX, backend engineering, integrations, testing, deployment, and ongoing improvements.

Goal
Simplify Client Onboarding

Make onboarding clearer for clients and reduce repetitive follow-up work for internal teams.

What We Built
Client Onboarding Automation Platform

A guided workflow for forms, documents, signatures, approvals, internal tasks, reminders, and shared progress tracking.

What Was Getting in the Way.

New clients had to submit information, sign documents, provide supporting files, and wait for several internal teams to complete setup.

Most of the work was predictable, but staff still chased documents, sent reminders, updated CRM records, and checked status manually.

Missing Documents
Staff spent time checking what each client still needed to provide.
Slow Handoffs
Work paused when the next team did not know a step was ready.
Poor Client Visibility
Clients had to email the team to understand onboarding progress.
