The Challenge
Summary of Challenges
- Did not have a standardized method of sharing information
- Existing solutions were inconvenient for staff and clients
- Staff often received a lot of support calls from clients
As a financial planning and wealth management firm, Arca Financial Group has access to a lot of confidential client information. To share this information, staff and clients previously used a combination of courier, in-person drop off, and secure email, each of which posed several challenges:
- Courier required a lot of preparation. Documents needed to be printed, packaged, and mailed. Delivery times also resulted in delays.
- Packages dropped off in person were inconvenient for clients as it required dedicated trips to the office.
- Secure emails were complicated, required too many steps, and caused too much friction for clients which often resulted tech support calls.
The leadership team saw an opportunity to standardize on a single solution to provide staff and clients with a more secure and efficient way to share confidential information. The goal was to deliver a better experience for clients through a secure client portal.
The Solution
Arca Financial Group chose TitanFile as the winning solution because it was exactly what the firm was looking for, a secure client portal that enabled two-way file sharing and the ability for staff to manage all client information in one secure location.
TitanFile is very intuitive. Clients love how easy it is to send and receive information through TitanFile even if they have never used it before in the past. As a web-based application, staff and clients can easily log into TitanFile from anywhere and at any time to retrieve or upload new information.
In addition, TitanFile is built with state-of-the-art security features that ensures that client information is protected at all times. This gives staff and clients peace of mind.
“I have had a number of clients that have commented how simple it was to access their files and they like the fact that they are secured. This program is exceptionally easy to use, even for people that are not familiar with computers.”
– Barbara Hunt, Executive Assistant
