Or do you want to keep different types of users on the same page?\n    <\/p>\n    <p>Take a look at the following project stories &#8211; 3 financial web apps developed with CX in mind.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    <h2 class=\"header-with-badget\">\n        #1 Bridging different types of users and facilitating data exchange\n    <\/h2>\n    <p>A financial process usually involves different types of users. Also, it may involve different\n        companies\/organizations that have to communicate remotely on the same topic. And, by \u201ccommunicate\u201d I mean\n        transferring data, providing information, and, basically, keeping users on the same page (figuratively).\n    <\/p>\n    <p>That was also the case for our client: FGCR (a guarantee fund whose mission is to give support to SMEs) obtain\n        financing &#8211; from banks or other financial institutions &#8211; by guaranteeing their loans).\n    <\/p>\n    <p>When they first came to Roweb, they were aware that the &#8220;old-school&#8221; communication (using various tools &#8211;\n        physical and digital, as well) no longer responds to their needs.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>Beyond the obvious challenge related to disparate data sources that led to desynchronizations, errors, and delays\n        that had to be solved, FGCR owners were interested in providing an improved customer experience (CX).\n    <\/p>\n    <p>Reason?<\/p>\n    <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"col-sm-2 col-xs-4\">\n            <figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"432\" height=\"218\" src=\"https:\/\/www.roweb.ro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/happyness-meeter.png\" alt=\"finacial app development customer experience\" class=\"wp-image-4637 simple-no-border img-center\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.roweb.ro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/happyness-meeter.png 432w, https:\/\/www.roweb.ro\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/happyness-meeter-300x151.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/figure>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"col-sm-10 col-xs-12\" style=\"margin-top: 2%;\">\n            <p style=\"font-size: 22px\">A positive CX (customer experience)<b> reduces churn or customer turnover risks.<\/b>\n            <\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <p style=\"text-decoration: underline;
