The Challenge

Meetings constituted the bulk of CABA Design's workflow to ensure alignment with client needs and project requirements. Managing these interactions effectively was, however, where they encountered significant challenges. Scarce documentation implied insightful discussions during client meetings that mostly went unrecorded or were jotted down at different places. The manual notes included missed opportunities where client inputs would be overlooked. Furthermore, their ineffective review process forced team members to dig through stacks of handwritten notes or hold on to memories of previous meetings. These inefficiencies stifled collaboration, delayed decision-making, and heightened the risk of miscommunication during project execution.

Our Solution

  • Automated Meeting Recording

    Integrated Cal.com with Whereby to automatically record all scheduled meetings, eliminating the need for manual documentation and ensuring no valuable insights are lost.

  • AI-Powered Transcription & Summarization

    Implemented AWS Transcribe to produce searchable transcripts and leveraged OpenAI to distill lengthy transcripts into concise overviews, highlighting key discussion points and action items.

  • Searchable Meeting Archive

    Integrated Elasticsearch to allow team members to find discussions by entering keywords or phrases, enabling them to skip to relevant segments in video recordings and drastically reducing review time.

Automation Enhances Client Interactions

Meetings are essential to many businesses, and having structured, searchable documentation significantly improves efficiency and client relationships. Automated systems free up team members to focus on the conversation rather than note-taking.

AI Streamlines Documentation

Transcription and summarization powered by AI help streamline notes, assisting manual note-taking and improving accuracy and efficiency. The ability to quickly extract key points from lengthy discussions saves valuable time.

Scalable Solutions Enable Growth

Secure, scalable storage solutions ensure businesses can handle increasing client interactions without operational bottlenecks. As CABA Design's client base grows, their meeting management processes remain stress-free and effective.

Sustainable furniture designers

As a result of implementing the meeting management solution, CABA Design has enjoyed increased workflow efficiency and productivity. Team members no longer have to rely on handwritten notes or memory to recall key client conversations. Instead, they can instantly retrieve meeting insights with a simple search, allowing them to focus on creating innovative, sustainable furniture designs.

Results:

Internal collaboration improved as all team members had access to the same accurate and organized information. Clients received more attention to detail, as their preferences and inputs were meticulously documented.
