Problem Statement & Key Challenges
Before implementing Zoho One with Worthy Desk, Europe Study managed their operations manually through Google Sheets, Google Docs, and basic communication tools. Despite handling a high volume of enquiries and applications, the team—though small with 2 members—faced several operational issues:
-
Fragmented data across spreadsheets, creating risks of data loss and inefficiencies.
-
No centralized system to track enquiries, specific country-wise programs, or application stages.
-
Difficulty maintaining proper follow-ups, reminders, and counsellor notes.
-
Manual effort in managing social media posting, content scheduling, and campaign tracking.
-
No systematic payment tracking or invoicing, causing delays in financial management.
-
Lack of visibility into student journeys, progress stages, or pending documentation.
-
Limited insights and no dashboards to measure conversions, country trends, or performance analytics.
To scale effectively and maintain their high service standards, Europe Study required an integrated automation system to replace the scattered manual processes.
Proposed Solution(s)
Worthy Desk recommended a fully customized Zoho One ecosystem to streamline Europe Study’s end-to-end operations:
-
Zoho CRM for enquiry management, candidate processing, program selection, follow-ups, activities, and documentation.
-
Zoho Creator for specialized workflows related to programs, eligibility, and application progress.
-
Zoho Books for invoicing and payment management.
-
Zoho Social for automated social media posting and engagement.
-
Zoho Analytics for detailed reporting, performance dashboards, and insights.
The goal was to create a smart, centralized, and scalable system for Europe Study’s growing operations.
