SimpleCRM’s BPM Engine Redefines Efficiency and Excellence
In the dynamic landscape of banking and financial services, the race for efficiency is relentless. Every minute saved in processes like loan approvals, claims management, and after-sales service can make all the difference, shaping customer experiences and driving business success. SimpleCRM’s Business Process Management (BPM) feature emerges as a game-changer in this scenario, reshaping the way organizations manage their operations and deliver seamless customer experiences.
How BPM Works
Business Process Management (BPM) is a powerful tool that streamlines operations, enhances efficiency, and ensures consistency in business processes. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how BPM works within SimpleCRM:
Workflow Design and Implementation
At the heart of BPM is its intuitive workflow engine, allowing organizations to design and implement customized workflows tailored to their unique requirements. Users can map out sequential or parallel processes, defining each step of the workflow along with the associated tasks and criteria for completion.
Automated and Manual Tasks
In BPM, tasks can be categorized into two main types: automated and manual.
Automated Tasks: These are activities within the workflow that are performed automatically by the system based on predefined rules or triggers. Automated tasks are typically used for repetitive, rule-based processes that do not require human intervention.
Manual Tasks: These are activities that require human involvement and intervention to complete. Manual tasks are typically used for complex or ad hoc processes that cannot be automated due to their unique nature or the need for human judgment and decision-making.
Task Assignment and Management
Within the BPM framework, tasks are assigned to individual users, roles, or security groups, as well as to the creator of the workflow or other designated individuals. This ensures accountability and clarity regarding responsibilities, enhancing flexibility in task allocation. This feature allows for efficient task management across diverse organizational structures, enabling seamless collaboration and streamlined workflow progression. Additionally, users have the capability to prioritize tasks and set deadlines, ensuring timely execution.
Conditional Branching
BPM provides robust support for conditional branching, enabling organizations to design dynamic workflows that adjust based on predefined criteria. Within BPM, conditional branching comprises conditional tasks, allowing organizations to establish unique workflow paths based on specific conditions. When conditions are met, one workflow is executed, while another is initiated if conditions are not met. This flexibility in conditional branching empowers organizations to tailor workflows precisely to their requirements, enhancing efficiency and responsiveness.
Escalation Flows
BPM also supports escalation flows, which are crucial for maintaining compliance with service level agreements (SLAs). These flows automatically trigger alert actions if tasks are not completed within specified timeframes, ensuring timely resolution and preventing breaches of SLAs. By incorporating escalation flows into their workflows, organizations can proactively manage and address potential delays, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Additionally, the escalation process can utilize the organization’s preconfigured business hours and holidays within the BPM system to extend the escalation time while non-business hours or holidays. For example, suppose a support ticket is not resolved within the specified time frame during normal business hours. In that case, the escalation flow may automatically notify the next level of support or management to intervene and ensure timely resolution. Similarly, during holidays or non-business hours, the escalation flow may be adjusted to extend the escalation time until the next business day or notify on-call staff, ensuring efficient use of resources and adherence to operational protocols.
Escalation Hold and Resume Feature
Furthermore, SimpleCRM’s BPM introduces an innovative Escalation Hold and Resume feature to address scenarios requiring external intervention.
When a task encounters a roadblock or requires additional input, this feature allows users to temporarily pause escalations until resolved. Once the issue is resolved, users can easily resume the escalation process, ensuring seamless workflow progression and timely resolution of tasks. With this feature, organizations can navigate complex processes with agility and efficiency, minimizing disruptions and optimizing operational performance.
Additional Features and Functionality
SimpleCRM’s BPM offers several additional features to enhance workflow management:
Reminders: Admin users can set reminder time so that reminders can trigger before task escalation, helping to ensure timely completion.
Task Assignment Methods: Three task assignment methods are available—round-robin, least busy, and random—allowing organizations to distribute tasks evenly among team members or assign them based on workload.
Responsibilities: Responsibilities within BPM are distributed among various entities within the organization:
Note Feature: Each process includes a note feature, enabling users to document important information, updates, or observations related to the task or workflow.
Task Instructions: Clear instructions are provided with each task, guiding users through the process and ensuring consistency in task execution.
User Assignment History: BPM retains information about assigned users from previous steps, facilitating continuity and efficiency in workflow management and ensuring that tasks are seamlessly passed from one user to the next as the workflow progresses.
Reports: We can configure reports that provide SLA matrices based on BPMs, offering valuable insights into the performance and adherence to predefined service level agreements (SLAs).
Overall, BPM empowers organizations to optimize their business processes, improve productivity, and deliver superior customer experiences by ensuring that tasks are executed efficiently, consistently, and in accordance with predefined criteria and standards.
Accelerating Loan Approvals with BPM
Imagine a customer applying for a mortgage loan—a process traditionally riddled with manual steps and lengthy waiting times. However, with SimpleCRM’s BPM, banks can automate these tasks, significantly reducing approval times. By deploying predefined workflows, BPM ensures each step in the loan approval process is executed efficiently and accurately.
For instance, when a customer submits a mortgage application, BPM automatically assigns tasks to relevant employees, such as document verification and credit assessment. Should any step remain incomplete within the specified timeframe, BPM escalates the task, ensuring timely resolution and preventing bottlenecks.
Streamlining Claims Management Processes
In insurance companies, claims management is a critical function often burdened with complexities and delays. SimpleCRM’s BPM brings a transformative solution to this challenge by automating and streamlining claims processes, ensuring swift and accurate resolution.
When a customer files an insurance claim, BPM assigns tasks to claims processors based on predefined criteria, such as claim type and severity. It tracks the progress of each claim, notifying higher authority managers of any delays or escalations for proactive intervention and resolution.
Enhancing After-Sales Service
Exceptional after-sales service is paramount in the competitive banking sector for fostering customer loyalty. SimpleCRM’s BPM simplifies this endeavor by automating routine tasks and streamlining customer interactions.
When a customer submits a service request through inbound email it gets triggered based on type and subtype BPM gets triggered and case assigns it to the appropriate support representative. It tracks the status of each case, ensuring timely follow-up and resolution for enhanced customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Optimizing Banking Service Requests
Service requests, such as account openings and card replacements, are routine yet vital functions in the BFSI sector. SimpleCRM’s BPM ensures these requests are managed efficiently and transparently.
When a customer submits a service request online, BPM creates a ticket and assigns it to the relevant department or employee. It tracks the status of each request, providing real-time updates and ensuring accountability throughout the process.
Conclusion
In the competitive landscape of banking and financial services, operational excellence is non-negotiable. SimpleCRM’s BPM feature empowers organizations to streamline processes, enhance customer experiences, and drive business growth. By automating tasks, optimizing workflows, and providing real-time insights, BPM revolutionizes operations, paving the way for a more efficient and customer-centric future.
