Jacobs are proud to launch our online Customer Application, ‘Jacobs Customer’.
Our app will allow customers to access and manage their account online and carry out several functions with our easy-to-use tools. The app has been developed by our in-house development team over the course of 12 months, and has undergone vigorous user testing to ensure that it is completely fit for purpose.
During this process, we obtained results that were invaluable in helping us to shape the design of the application, in order to cater for users of all experience levels.The application can also be accessed across a number of devices, to give the user maximum control over how they prefer to manage their account digitally.
Why We Created Jacobs Customer
At Jacobs, we have always been committed to providing our clients and customers with the very best quality service; year on year, we continue to make improvements in all aspects of the business to ensure that we achieve this. Our in-house Technology & Development team work tirelessly to create new and exciting products that meet customers’ needs, and this application is key to how we envision the growth of our digital services and the user interaction element.
During the development of Jacobs Customer, our vision was to create the best online customer experience in the industry. The app had to include every aspect of the debt management experience, whilst following a systematic and compact approach to its functions. We wanted to create an environment that catered for all of our customers’ needs when managing their debt, as well as in a future release, providing instructions of their next steps by way of a notification system. We have maintained a strong focus regarding the accessibility of the application, to ensure that we meet the needs of each individual user. Whilst developing the app, we guaranteed to incorporate changeable features to enable the customer to modify their experience.
Our testing reflected a unanimous belief that, when managing their finances online, users need to feel that the website they are logging into is completely reliable and trustworthy. We wanted to create an application that would give users a sense of absolute safety from the moment that they see the login page to the moment they wish for their session to end. To achieve this, our team designed a clean and simple interface that gives an immediate sense of professionalism, essential functionality and total security.
