Industry: Vacation Club and Hospitality Services
Focus: Enhanced member services through improved document accessibility
A leading vacation club providing condominium-style rentals across premier resorts in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico aimed to elevate their member services. Their operations relied on approximately 10,000 membership contracts stored in their Mexico City office, but inefficient processes delayed responses to member inquiries. Language barriers, resource constraints, and reliance on international shipping for document access compounded the challenges. Files often arrived late or were incorrect, resulting in a suboptimal member experience.
Time Delays:: Shipping documents internationally was unreliable and slow, taking up to four days.
Communication Barriers:Errors in requesting or receiving correct files due to language differences.
Physical Limitations:A 12x12 storage room housed critical documents, risking loss due to fire, flood, or other disasters.
Cost Inefficiency:Expenses for international postage and long-distance communication added to operational costs.
The vacation club partnered with Digital Convergence Partners, Inc. (DCPi) to implement eCharta, a secure, cloud-based document management system. This system digitized the club’s paper-based files and hosted them on a personalized internet portal, making them instantly accessible worldwide.
Digitization of Documents: Approximately 10,000 files were converted to digital formats and uploaded to eCharta.
Centralized Storage: eCharta’s secure platform provided a single repository for all documents.
Instant Access: Staff gained the ability to retrieve files from any location with a simple search, eliminating reliance on shipping or physical storage.
Faster Member Service: Documents previously taking days to arrive were now available in seconds, significantly improving response times.
Enhanced Accuracy: Immediate access to correct files reduced errors and improved member satisfaction.
Cost Savings: Eliminated international shipping and reduced long-distance communication expenses.
Operational Efficiency: Freed physical office space and minimized risks of document loss due to disasters.
“Employees have embraced eCharta. We can respond to our members so much quicker,” noted a company representative.
By adopting eCharta, the vacation club transformed its document management practices, enabling faster, more accurate service to its members. The result was not just improved operational efficiency but also a stronger commitment to delivering exceptional member experiences.
