What was the core problem you wanted to solve?

As a coworking hub operator, when a new member signs up, we need to set each of them up on various systems. We call this the new member setup process.

The member setup process covers confirming basic details, verifying billing details, ensuring we have the correct ID and paperwork to comply with money laundering rules, and that the members are aware of all of our rules and internal processes.

Before Tallyfy, we found that there was always at least one element which was missed. This often went unnoticed until it had caused a problem - leading to billing issues, legal compliance issues, and members who were not aware of the full range of services they were investing in. Putting our new member setup process in Tallyfy has allowed us to document these steps, track them and ensure that nothing gets missed.

How was Cowork Inc doing these tasks and processes before?

Originally, our new member setup process and other processes were done manually - just using pen and paper.

What other software did you evaluate before you chose Tallyfy? Why did you select Tallyfy?

We considered using our current core back office system (Podio) but it wasn’t suited to this use. We are a cloud-software heavy company and one of the things that attracted us to Tallyfy was the integration potential. The ability to integrate our web forms and CRM with Tallyfy using Zapier was key for the member setup process to really work smoothly.

What specific improvements have you seen seen with Tallyfy?

We are much more confident that nothing is getting missed with our new member setup process. And more importantly, Tallyfy has allowed us more time to focus on our member experience and less time worrying about admin.

We have also benefited from multiple users being able to track the progress of any given process. The ability to mark a step as complete and then for the next step to be assigned to someone else only after that step is completed has made teamwork much more efficient.
