Driving Efficiency and Cross-Border Collaboration for Pine Barens with Digital Archive and CRM Integration
Implementation of a hybrid solution combining Snooze Tech's Digital Archive System (DAS) and a custom Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platform. The goal was to centralise document access, introduce digital workflows, and enhance client lifecycle visibility across all departments and languages.
About the Client
Pine Barens t.o.o. is a regional consultancy firm based in Kazakhstan, specialising in cross-border advisory and operational support for companies operating across Central and East Asia. The firm manages complex documentation and multilingual communications involving clients from China, Uzbekistan, South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, and beyond.
Challenge
As Pine Barens grew its client base across diverse jurisdictions, its internal workflows became increasingly burdened by:
• Large volumes of client records, contracts, and correspondence in multiple languages and formats.
• Paper-based documentation practices resulting in delays, duplication, and high risk of misfiling or data loss.
• Inconsistent customer relationship management due to decentralised data entry, tracking, and follow-ups.
• Lack of integration between document handling and client engagement processes.
Pine Barens needed to streamline both its document management infrastructure and its client interaction framework to support scalable, compliant, and language-flexible operations.
