Client satisfaction (comms)
A 3-advisor RIA with 120 client households was manually updating their client portal every month — pulling performance data from Schwab, generating summary reports, uploading documents, and sending notification emails. The process took about 4 hours each month and was error-prone. Two months in a row, a client received another client's performance summary due to a copy-paste error. The firm was also behind on uploading quarterly planning documents, with some clients not receiving updates for 6+ weeks after their review.
We built an automated pipeline that pulls performance data from Schwab's API on the 3rd business day of each month, generates personalized performance summaries for each household, uploads them to the client portal with proper tagging, and sends a branded email notification. Quarterly planning documents are auto-uploaded within 48 hours of the advisor marking them as final. A compliance log captures every upload and notification for audit purposes.
Monthly portal update time went from 4 hours to zero manual effort. The copy-paste error problem was eliminated — each client's data is programmatically matched to their household ID. Quarterly documents now reach the portal within 2 days of finalization instead of 6+ weeks. Client satisfaction scores on 'communication and transparency' improved by 18% in the first quarter after launch.
