Our New Platform, How we're Changing Advisory Relationships

We're thrilled to introduce our new platform. We hope you like it as much as we do. This article talks about the great things we are doing.

I’m thrilled to introduce you to our new experience sharing platform. This is a major refresh which we hope will bring a smile to the faces of our users!

Nine months ago, our designers and developers took on a new mission: to build the best platform for companies and experts to find each other and share experience. Today we are launching the first version. Many more features are coming in the next few months (see our public Trello board), so stay tuned.‍

A bold vision: building relationships

At Arbolus, we believe in building relationships between companies and experts. Our platform is designed with this in mind, with an emphasis on:

Easy communication
Self-scheduling
Document sharing
The ability to keep in touch after an engagement

As an expert, direct client relationships

The platform acts as a central repository for all your advisory relationships
projects. Within each project’s workspace you can :

Have direct contact with your client
Work with other experts to help even more (coming soon)
Manage your payments

It’s our hope that you will enjoy building these direct relationships. This is a tool for you to find new ways of working with companies, earning you more money. If you would like to create a profile click here.

Coming soon: negotiate and agree to longer-term engagements on the platform.

As a company, more collaboration & support

The platform allows you to work as a team alongside colleagues and external experts. On the workspace you can:

Communicate with experts
Work as a group
Share documents
Schedule calls
Manage your payments

It’s our hope that you will find more value in working with experts beyond an initial conversation. This might be a short follow-up question or longer-term work. What we do know is that these experts are willing and able to help you more. If you would like to set up a company account click here.

Coming soon: start inviting experts you already work with into the platform.

Going forward: exciting new releases

The Arbolus platform is built with agility in mind. Amongst many others, we will be releasing the following features in the next couple of months:

Allow experts to refer people into a project
Allow companies to invite other experts into a project
Custom engagement agreements for longer-term work
Scheduling tool to help speed up finding time to speak
