Velocity Solutions and
Fincentric Corporation Form New Partnership
Velocity to launch Fincentric’s Wealthview
Leadbuilder for aggressive market expansion in Asia Pacific
Hong Kong, BC, June 13, 2005
– Fincentric Corporation and Velocity Solutions,
a Hong Kong-based business systems consulting firm with offices
throughout Asia Pacific, today entered a partnership agreement to
deliver Fincentric’s new Wealthview Leadbuilder™ solution
to financial institutions in Australia and Hong Kong.
"Wealthview Leadbuilder is a software application
designed for financial institutions enabling frontline representatives
in lead generation to dramatically increase branch sales revenue.
Banks can engage their tellers, call centre or other frontline service
representatives to deliver valid, targeted marketing campaign offers
to customers during service interactions—resulting in increased
lead referrals, sales effectiveness and revenue opportunities for
the financial institution.
The solution is embedded at the teller platform
and works alongside a bank’s existing core banking, marketing
analytics, lead management and/or Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) systems. North American financial institutions saw sales referrals
increase by over 600 percent in one month after installing Wealthview
Leadbuilder. “It is the only product in the marketplace that
can directly measure and drive incremental leads and revenue at
the teller line,” commented Joe Bower, U.S.-based County National
Bank’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
Fincentric and Velocity will conduct joint marketing
activities in Australia and Hong Kong. Under terms of the agreement,
the Wealthview Leadbuilder product becomes a key solution offering
by Velocity Solutions.
“Businesses in the Asia Pacific region need
to make major investments to increase how effectively they use information
if they wish to compete in this increasingly global environment,”
said David Armitage, Velocity President and CEO. “Leadbuilder
gives them the ability to improve the customer experience while
increasing the effectiveness of lead generation.”
“Increasing revenue, bottom-line growth,
and customer share-of-wallet is driving demand for a flexible solution
that offers financial institutions a true competitive advantage,”
said Alice Laberge, Fincentric president and CEO. "Together,
Fincentric and Velocity will offer Asia Pacific financial institutions
a compelling value proposition based on a proven product and Velocity’s
extensive market presence and experience in the Australian and Hong
Kong financial industries."
