The Engage Way: Customer Lifecycles That Stay on Track

Lifecycle management breaks down when onboarding sits in one tool, education sits in another, and renewal reminders live in email. Engage connects each stage inside one mobile first experience customers trust. Appi AI reads behaviour, identifies gaps, and triggers helpful guidance at the right moment.

North West based law firm Napthens launches community app with Engage

“Engage strengthens our relationships and positions us as trusted advisers. By keeping clients informed with the latest legal updates and documents, we’ve achieved a retention rate of around 96%.”

Challenge

AfterAthena needed to move beyond traditional, transactional communication. Clients lacked a single place to access documents or updates, and email processes slowed everything down. They wanted a modern way to build a stronger client community and improve access to essential information.

Solution

AfterAthena launched a single platform that brings their client community together. Clients can access documents, updates and guidance in one place, with integrated systems and real-time messaging making communication smoother and more connected.

Engage celebrates successful implementation of enterprise engagement solution for PartsPlus

"Our digital transformation has empowered us to offer both customers and colleagues a first-class experience that sets us apart in the market. The functionality provided by our mobile apps has revolutionised communication, support, convenience, efficiency, and sustainability across the board.”

Challenge

PartsPlus needed a modern, scalable way to connect its 1,300 parts specialists and thousands of trade customers across 60 centres. Communication was fragmented, customer processes were manual and time-consuming, and the business lacked a digital channel that reflected its ambition to be seen as a leading ‘all makes’ supplier, not just a Ford-only brand.

Solution

PartsPlus launched a central platform supported by colleague and customer apps. The solution streamlines communication, simplifies ordering and returns, and brings key tools and updates into one place - creating a more connected, efficient and modern experience for both colleagues and customers.

CFG Law’s Community Compass, a digital hub for injury support

“We set out to create a validated, high-quality source of information people could truly rely on. Community Compass brings together content built with individuals and charities so users can understand injury with confidence.”

Challenge

Despite producing years of high-quality content - videos, blogs, podcasts and resources created with charities and people with lived experience - CFG Law had no effective way to bring it all together. People affected by serious injury struggled to find reliable, validated information in one accessible place, limiting CFG’s ability to support those who weren’t yet clients.

Solution

CFG Law partnered with Engage to create Community Compass - a simple, mobile-first platform that centralises all their expert-led content into one trusted resource. The app gives people instant access to guidance, lived-experience insights and injury information in a format that’s easy to use, reliable and completely free.

Everything you need to manage the full customer lifecycle

Adoption and education paths

Deliver guides, articles, videos, and in app messages based on behaviour so customers learn in context.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to use both colleague and customer communities?

No. You can either opt to run colleague and customer communities in one branded app with strict audience controls, or start with one and add the other later.

How does Engage improve customer engagement and loyalty?

Engage personalises interactions, simplifies communication, and centralises self-service. Customers feel more supported, better informed, and more connected - driving stronger loyalty and long-term value.

How does Engage help generate referrals and advocacy?

Built-in referral tools, community spaces, rewards, and personalised content help turn satisfied customers into advocates - boosting organic growth and reducing acquisition cost.

What business outcomes can we expect from a customer community?

Organisations typically see higher retention, reduced service friction, increased referrals, improved upsell/cross-sell performance, and richer insight into customer needs - all measurable via real-time analytics.

How does Engage integrate with our existing systems?

Engage acts as a digital front door, unifying your customer experience by connecting to the systems you already rely on. Through API, SSO and automated user provisioning, you can surface real-time data from CRMs, booking systems, case management tools or any other business platform directly inside your branded Engage app and web experience. This reduces friction, eliminates system-hopping, and ensures customers always see the most relevant, up-to-date information.

What security and compliance standards does Engage meet?

Engage is built with enterprise-grade security, including ISO 27001 certification, GDPR compliance, and robust permissioning. Organisations can confidently unify systems and data while maintaining strong governance.
