Customize Management Systems to Cut Costs and Deliver Client Services
How SowLabs helped cut management costs while simultaneously increasing company competency
With coaches and clients around the world, the success of Jason Drees Coaching relies on accurately monitoring and easily managing countless moving parts, such as tracking coaching time, assigning new client contracts, and analyzing client engagement, just to name a few. Though they were using a platform that was simply adequate, they could no longer justify its exorbitant cost ($6 per client per month with hundreds of clients). Ready to get more value, JDC brought in SowLabs to help retain the best parts of their current client portal at a better price point.
By uncovering and addressing a variety of both common and company specific challenges, SowLabs was able to help JDC improve financial management, gain comprehensive data insights, streamline operations, and ultimately enhance overall client experience. JDC came to Nourish & Sow wanting to cut costs. The result was a management system overhaul that accomplished much more and continues to deliver.
