The client faces difficulties in providing quick and accurate cost estimates to potential clients, leading to delays and reduced conversion rates. Their current process is manual, time-consuming, and lacks transparency, which hampers client trust and operational efficiency.

A mid-sized financial advisory firm seeking to streamline client engagement through an interactive cost calculator and analytics dashboard.

• Develop an interactive, user-friendly cost calculator accessible via web forms that allows clients to receive instant estimates based on specific input parameters.
• Automate the estimation process to reduce response times from hours to seconds, increasing client satisfaction.
• Create an internal analytics dashboard to monitor user interactions, estimate accuracy, and identify opportunities for process improvement.
• Integrate the platform with existing client management and CRM systems to streamline data flow and record-keeping.
• Ensure the solution is scalable, secure, and compliant with industry standards.

• Interactive multi-step form for gathering client input to generate estimates.
• Automatic calculation engine based on predefined pricing models.
• Real-time estimate display and downloadable detailed reports.
• Admin interface for configuring pricing parameters and managing user access.
• Analytics dashboard displaying metrics such as estimation accuracy, user engagement, and conversion rates.
• Secure user authentication and data protection compliance.
• API integrations for real-time data exchange with CRM and client management systems.

• Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system for client data synchronization
• Internal analytics tools for performance monitoring
