When evaluating new software investments, it's natural to focus on quantifiable returns such as time savings and return on investment. However, some tools have transformative effects that go beyond your P&L sheet. Flowcase is a perfect example.
While our platform provides firms with substantial time savings, we also boast many benefits that are harder to measure yet arguably just as valuable. These range from elevated employee morale and focus to fostering greater collaboration across teams.
Here are just a few of the often overlooked "soft" benefits that Flowcase unlocks:
Proud consultants and project teams
For consultants, having an updated, polished resume (CV) that accurately showcases their expertise is a source of professional pride. With Flowcase, employees regain control of their resumes without having to deal with the frustrations of reformatting content into a well-polished document.
Eliminating this blocker allows your people to focus on the important aspects of their profile: that their experiences are fully up-to-date and that the content fully captures their achievements in the best way possible. This can make your consultants feel less like expendable resources and more like proud members of a thriving team.
Less stressed, more productive bid teams
Flowcase’s key value proposition is that we streamline the efforts of bid teams when creating proposal documents. As a result of this, we like to think we make members of the bid team a whole lot happier!
We know a bid team’s role can be stressful. Whether it’s the endless back-and-forth trying to find that perfect employee for the pitch or it’s the countless hours of copying, pasting, and reformatting resume and case study content, there’s always something that needs to be done. However, because Flowcase automates these time-consuming tasks, they can finally get a second to breathe.
Free from this busy work, they have the time and energy to focus on more strategic initiatives, such as what differentiates your firm from the rest and how you can win that next bid. On top of that, maybe they’ll even leave the office at a decent time for once!
Better employee enablement
Armed with Flowcase, your HR and Knowledge Management teams can gain a more holistic understanding of your people’s experiences. Not only does this give HR teams a better platform to get to know their coworkers better, but it also gives them a platform to provide targeted training that levels up your firm as a whole.
This training shouldn’t be treated as a box-checking exercise, though. Rather, it should provide an exciting opportunity for members of your team to undergo important personal development and help them build a more well-rounded skill set. All of this is likely to improve job satisfaction and enhance employee retention.
Improved collaboration
Last but not least, Flowcase acts as a connective hub that brings your key teams together. With all your teams working from your single source of truth, you can benefit from:
- Sales teams referencing your team’s expertise to accurately identify new opportunities
- Bid teams cherry-pick profiles and tailor content to meet the RFP’s needs
- Marketing upholds brand voice and visuals in the form of branded templates
- HR gains visibility into up-skilling opportunities and better employee enablement
This cross-functional alignment around a shared system cultivates tighter teamwork and accountability and gives your teams a shared sense of success.
Summary
While the bottom-line impacts of Flowcase are highly quantifiable, it's the qualitative ripple effects across team satisfaction, enablement, and collaboration that allow you to truly realize your firm's potential. Schedule a demo to learn how we can start delivering these benefits to your team.
