Ubi Banca: an innovative CRM with an advanced sales platform

Iriscube Reply and UBISS have developed an advanced, integrated CRM with a new multi-channel sales platform to maximise UBI Banca's commercial effectiveness

A digital transformation project digitale

UBI Banca, an Italian banking group, relied on Iriscube Reply to launch a digital transformation project in order to equip the Bank with an advanced and innovative solution to support its commercial activities. This project saw the development of a new microservices platform for the sale of the Bank's primary products, integrated with a multi-segment and multi-channel CRM for the all-round management of commercial operations. The new CRM makes it possible to cover the entire value chain: from the prioritisation of opportunities, to their planning, to the management of customer interaction, to monitoring at all levels. Throughout the project, 'Top of the Art' technologies were used, thus providing the UBI Banca group with a strategic asset for the future, supporting the 'Core of a Bank' activities.

A multi-channel sales platform and an innovative CRM

UBISS, a service company of the UBI Banca Group, launched a series of strategic projects in 2019, in line with the business plan, to equip the Bank with advanced tools to increase commercial effectiveness. The new multi-channel sales platform with micro-service technology for the sale of the Bank's primary products, starting with loans to small businesses, has been redesigned and implemented. This platform is also integrated with a 360° CRM tool to support the 'end-to-end' service and sales activities of the bank's products.

The new multi-segment and multi-channel CRM has prioritisation and operational planning functionalities and behavioural elements for maximising operational and commercial efficiency. These two projects proved to be a key strategic asset of great value to the Bank, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic that required smart working and remote customer interactions.

9 months from solution design to release

UBI Banca and Iriscube Reply worked very closely together, using Agile methodology, developing an innovative solution with a very wide scope. This made it possible to add value to the business in a very short time, considering the breadth of the perimeter, the technical-functional innovation introduced and the results obtained.
