Antwerp, April 2023 – Belgian scale-up Pointerpro is launching a new tool that makes assessments extra scalable. With the Distribution Portal, consultants and coaches give their clients access to an online portal, where clients can share the assessments and follow up the results. In this way, professional service providers can exponentially spread their know-how, without requiring to invest more working hours.
The new digital tool fits perfectly in Pointerpro’s mission to release consultants of repetitive tasks with little added value. An international iVOX survey among 550 consultants conducted by Pointerpro showed that many consulting companies, especially the smaller ones, still lose unseen amounts of time on manual work. An opportunity appears to lie in the digitalization of the service. Pointerpro can be used to input experts’ knowledge into an assessment. In combination with the answers from the respondent, the technology auto-generates reports. Companies in 65 countries are already using the technology today.
With the new Distribution Portal, Pointerpro is even going one step further. Consulting companies were already able to create assessments on the digital platform, which then automatically generate personalized advisory reports. Pointerpro users can now also give their own clients and partners access to the portal. Those clients and partners, in turn, distribute the assessments to their own network of respondents. This provides companies with more data and additional reliable insights, while they can also generate automated advisory reports tailored to each department. All those reports together provide a helicopter view of the organization.
Stefan Debois, Founder and CEO of Pointerpro
Stefan Debois, Pointerpro founder and CEO: “With our new Distribution Portal, service companies can give their own clients direct access to assessments and reports. They bundle their know-how into a digital product, and their clients pay a licence to distribute that expertise in turn. In this way, we not only help our own clients, but also our clients’ clients to free up time for tasks where they really make a difference and create added value.”
Among others, Brazilian assessment company Egg Science was the first to start using the new Distribution Portal and make it available to their clients.
“Our clients’ HR departments can distribute their assessments directly to the employees and teams they want input from”, clarifies CFO & COO Nicolas Gounin. “This way, they kill two birds with one stone. Employees can count on personalized advisory reports, HR can analyze data at the level of teams and the whole organization.”
