Spring Release 2023

The Spring Release ’23 is about helping wealth managers and private banks strengthen the relationships with their existing clients and win new business – based on insights from news, company registers, dossiers, and even bank-proprietary CRM data. While the Affinity API has supported Intelligent Prospecting and Monitoring already for a while, our ThemeScape user interface will provide a new experience of client and prospect intelligence, complementing or as an alternative to CRM integration.

The Spring Release will go live on 8 May 2023. This is what it includes:

  • New: ThemeScape support for Intelligent Prospecting and Monitoring
  • Minor improvements and fixes

 

Intelligent Prospecting and Monitoring with ThemeScape

Until now, Intelligent Prospecting and Monitoring (“IPaM”) has been an Affinity API exclusive – our clients integrate the power of Affinity directly with their CRM systems or data lakes to tap into insights about existing clients and prospects. While that’s truly great, some wealth managers and private banks will appreciate the new “standalone” support for IPaM provided via ThemeScape, our next-gen user interface for bankers, advisors, and relationship managers. Complementing CRM integration or going it alone, ThemeScape offers immediate access to client and prospect intelligence.

 

Monitor your clients.

IPaM leverages Affinity’s web crawling capabilities to extract insights about individuals and affiliated companies from a global coverage of online newspapers. It comes with two “momentum” configurations to rank individuals by how urgently an advisor should reach out:

  • Money in Motion – which clients have recently experienced liquidity events (e.g., from a company sale or investment) and might benefit from additional advisory services?
  • Monitoring – what has recently happened in your clients’ professional and personal lives that your relationship managers ought to be aware of?

Create your proprietary watchlists of clients to stay up-to-date and assess their current momentum at any time. Access events and underlying news quickly to keep up with the noise – and ahead of competitors.

 

Prospecting – find new business.

Search and discover potential new clients:

  • Set up your target audience (search profile) precisely, including criteria such as location, estimated net worth, estimated liquidity, involvement in specific liquidity events (e.g., IPO, M&A), job roles, affiliated companies’ location, industry sector (NACE and RBICS), and more.
  • Rank prospects by their momentum (see above) to spot the most critical and timely opportunities first.
  • Find new prospects when they become relevant – your search isn’t static but self-updating based on a continuous inflow of details about individuals, companies, and news.
  • Stay informed about the prospects you want to win – add them to a watchlist.
