Reducing Repetitive Tasks in Sending Digital Greetings

Designed and implemented an internal automation tool that reduced manual greeting tasks from N repetitive task into 1 task. *N : customer number

Project

The whole project is starting the POC, to explore how the digital greetings/video could be customized and generated dynamically using data from database.
Challenge
During the manual day to day process, we found that :
Manual processes caused delays in time-sensitive greetings (birthdays, holidays)
Inconsistent branding and messaging across different branches
No centralized system for approval and distribution
Opportunity
These situation have a lot opportunity to explore on :
Centralize and standardize the greeting process
Automate the repetitive process
Maintain timely customer engagement

Approach

Discovery & Research
The process began with analyzing a successful proof-of-concept that demonstrated automated digital greeting/video generation.
Instead of traditional user research, we focused on:
Technology Assessment - Evaluated the demo's capabilities for dynamic text overlays, database integration, and rendering performance.
Competitive Analysis - Studied similar systems including Microsoft Word's mail merge functionality and Wix/Webflow's template editing.
Process Mapping - Through stakeholder workshops, I mapped the complete greeting lifecycle from creation to delivery, identifying key roles and responsibilities at both head office and branch levels.

Design Solution

Simplified Video Editor
Developed an intuitive video editor for non-technical users that limited options to only what was necessary, preventing user overwhelm while ensuring quality output.
Visual Placeholder System
Created a text placement with real-time previews to help users visualize the final product.
Rules Configuration Interface
Designed a rule builder for targeting specific customer segments based on holidays, birthdays, or membership levels.

Notable Result

Reduce N process to 1 step process for each role.
Deliver a easy to understand design file for client, designers and engineers.
