Building a Stronger & Smarter Foundation Overview The Problem Opportunities Game Plan Overview New Direction Trust Company's teams were struggling to work with outdated legacy CRMs. The CEO's data-driven vision was being held back, so it was time to move. We helped define internal procedures, not only to align the tech with the teams, but unlock insights from their data. Oh, and we saved them $600K. 😎 Game Plan: Simplify We aimed to separate financial vs support data, clean up legacy issues, and design migration scripts that would map into HubSpot's intuitive structure. This would require clear communication with our client's teams to ensure accuracy, adoption, and continuous momentum. Opportunities With HubSpot, we unlocked a world of possibilities: Marketing, sales, and support all under one roof Access on desktop, mobile, & multiple accounts Consider the R in CRM: It's about reestablishing and nourishing the relationship with our customer. The Problem The existing CRM didn’t fit how the organization actually did business: Information didn't line up, the quality was unreliable, and integrations between tools were unstable. How could they trust reports or automate workflows? Plus, the client was about to owe a large renewal payment for software that wasn’t working for them. HubSpot Migration The Design Process & Challenges The Design Process & Challenges The Design Process & Challenges The Design Process & Challenges Building a Stronger & Smarter Foundation Process Modeling We realized the problem was the process under the data: It couldn't handle unique workflows, so the team was forced to "hack" their way through inconsistent statuses, with personalized one-off workarounds. The tech didn't support how real work actually got done. So we rolled up our sleeves and mapped the full investment lifecycle. After validating the risks, we aligned leadership with our plan for a full CRM migration. Building a Stronger & Smarter Foundation Data Modeling One point of confusion was that the old CRM lumped requests and transactions into the same bucket. We split the data into two clear types inside HubSpot. We wrangled around 850,000 activity records, then categorized each as a call, task, note, ticket, etc. It was messy work, but the end result worth it: Clean, structured data that actually made sense. Building a Stronger & Smarter Foundation Systems Integration We made sure everything functioned the way real users need it to. QA and UAT sessions helped us catch issues early and confirm that features felt right in practice. We took advantage of HubSpot's new feature in renaming native objects: their "Deals" became NDTCO's "Transactions." Now, the CRM speaks the client's language. By launch, everything clicked together like it was born to work this way. Building a Stronger & Smarter Foundation Project Management "Project management didn't need to be a heavy-handed approach," BearPeaker Mik Nielsen explained. "Especially since it is a small company." So she focused on the basics: A project plan A light-weight schedule R.A.C.I. to identify team members and approvers Monthly executive updates ... and a weekly meeting with the core team. Instead of reinventing what the client already had, we built on their existing roadmap to fit how they worked naturally. "Best. Collaboration. Ever." "Best. Collaboration. Ever." "Best. Collaboration. Ever." "Best. Collaboration. Ever." - Kevin Dodson, CEO of New Direction Trust Company - Kevin Dodson, CEO of New Direction Trust Company - Kevin Dodson, CEO of New Direction Trust Company - Kevin Dodson, CEO of New Direction Trust Company HubSpot Migration The Results After months of fine-tuning, data wrangling, and teamwork, here’s where we landed: 5 Million Data records migrated $600k Saved for the client 86% Cleaner, more actionable data 1 Solid foundation 🎉 We turn complexity into clarity.

A New Partnership: Humans + AI A New Partnership: Humans + AI A New Partnership: Humans + AI A New Partnership: Humans + AI When you combine human experience with the power of technology, great things happen. Ideas move faster. Insights go deeper. We're making AI a meaningful partner in every workflow. This means helping staff and clients make thoughtful choices about when AI adds real value. Think of AI as the middle of the project sandwich: People start the process with vision and creativity. AI accelerates research, surfaces insights, and clears away the busywork. Then people step back in to refine and deliver the final product with context and intention. This partnership is greater than the sum of its parts: humans lead with ideas, AI amplifies what’s possible, and the people bring it home. Prompt Engineering, Data, & Validation Prompt Engineering, Data, & Validation Prompt Engineering, Data, & Validation Prompt Engineering, Data, & Validation Garbage in still makes garbage out. In this case: AI is only as good as the prompts its given. As the human in the loop, we prepare articulate inputs, then we validate, check, and extend outputs. AI is non-deterministic; the same prompt produces a different answer every time. That means validation isn’t just a one-time check, but an ongoing process. We test consistency, compare variations, and ensure results align with our expectations. The People Still Make the Project. The People Still Make the Project. The People Still Make the Project. The People Still Make the Project. We're keeping humans in the loop. People bring software to life and know what delights their customers.

NDTCO + BearPeak How we built a unified, secure, and user-friendly investment app. Overview We partnered with New Direction Trust Company to design and build a new investment app, with the long-term goal of replacing their customer portal. What began as an onboarding flow grew into a full account creation platform. NDTCO's process previously relied on manual reviews. Our mobile-first design improved efficiency and engagement, giving users access to their investments from anywhere. We reduced fraud risk, strengthened compliance, and streamlined operations, positioning NDTCO to scale with confidence and deliver the service they envisioned. Opportunities The final product streamlines the process into three clear steps (onboarding, funding, and investing) with a real-time “pizza tracker” to keep clients informed about where they are in each process. In addition to core flows, we designed supporting features like a secure communications portal, portfolio dashboards, and compliance-ready data handling. Design Challenge & Process Methods: User flows, wireframes, high-fidelity prototypes Our key challenge was balancing strict security and compliance with a simple, approachable experience. We broke complex onboarding into clear, step-by-step flows. We added two-factor authentication and upfront legal disclosures to enhance security and protect NDTCO and its clients. Then we redesigned the funding process, replacing manual workflows. Integrations with Plaid, check parsing, and document validation make processing faster, safer, and more compliant. Finally, we transformed dashboards from numbers-only views into rich displays with personality and story. By collaborating with asset managers, we built detail screens that tie real-world data (like property values and business growth) to client investments.
