Existing Problems

The MeetingLists team had all the data, and knew what to do with it, and needed a partner that could design not just a website, but an online application to provide a unique user experience to make it easy to find and sell the information, as well as track and report on each meeting, how many times it was sold, auto-expire access after 30 days, update clients proactively and much more.

Our Solutions

Clarity started with the data. How to take millions of records, with over 150 unique defining fields and make it easily searchable? As a UX specialty company, Clarity designed a UI, where users can build a profile of meetings that they’re interested in possibly purchasing, save the queries, purchase a sub-set of the data, update and download their lists, and check back often to see if additional meetings matching their needs have been posted.

The Benefits

The website design is fresh and inviting. The site has created a centralized platform, making it easy for the team to update/import their meetings into the database, streamlining and shortening the time it took to make them available to their clients. Clients can now save their search profiles, coming back often to check for updates and new meeting listings, auto-expiration of listings provides an additional revenue opportunity that the team used to give away since it couldn’t be managed.
