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.

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.
