What is
RB Partners ?

RenewBuy Partner Platform is designed for both POS and Non-POS advisors to sell RenewBuy products, including insurance, loans, and proprietary offerings. It serves as a productivity tool—available on both app and web—that helps advisors efficiently manage their daily tasks. Key features include selling new policies, renewing existing ones, capturing leads, tracking sales targets, monitoring earnings, and earning rewards.

Business Challenges

❗️ High Partner On-Boarding Dropoff

The platform experienced a 56% drop-off during the partner onboarding process, and many users lost interest before their profile was activated.

❗Losing Insurance Renewal opportunity

Insurance renewal rate is stuck at 54% to 61%. This means we're losing nearly half of our existing customers every year.

❗Insurance Catalogue mismanagement

Advisors manually share insurance documents with customers, like brochures, feature lists, and product sheets. This leads to delayed, outdated or wrong documents being shared with customers.

❗Low platform engagement and high support dependency

Around 40% of advisors bypassed the platform and calling support team for basic tasks, such as checking payouts & transactions list, which are already available on the portal.

Understanding the Problem

Research Goals

  • Identify pain points during the advisor onboarding experience.
  • Analyse the challenges advisors face during renewal cases across all LOB’s.
  • Determine which type of support, advisor wants most from RM’s.
  • Identify the pinpoints of the platform where advisors get stuck.
  • Analyse our competitors and what they are doing well and badly.

Stakeholder Interview

We interviewed a few of the advisors, & DST/FLS team members and recorded feedback. Some of the feedback is useful for us.

Competitive Analysis

We analyse some of our competitors' platforms, like Probus, PB Partners, Turtlemint and find out some useful points.

Screen Analysis (Design Audit)

The RB Partner mobile platform does not support advisor onboarding. So, all KYC and bank detail submissions are processed through the web version, often managed by a Field Leader (FLS). Screenshots of this web-based workflow are below.

Finding the Solutions

How might we?

We started with how might we statement. We focused on the following questions to be addressed as part of our work.

🤔 How might we reduce onboarding time by adopting a Digital First approach?

🤔 How might we make renewal cases easy to see and act on?

🤔 How might we boost dashboard use across advisers and cut support calls?

🤔 How might we improve marketing collateral management and distribution?

Ideas to improve experience — hypothesis

Build a mobile onboarding journey using fully digital KYC and bank verification.

Increase visibility of renewal cases on the dashboard, reduce clicks to open and update.

Build a central repository of approved marketing collateral, easily accessible and shareable.

Rearrange dashboard widgets based on usage patterns and day-to-day priorities.

Wireframe, User flow, & Information Architecture

Collated research and stakeholder feedback, brainstormed solutions, created paper sketches, user flows, and designs, then tested and iterated prototypes based on tech feasibility and requirements.

Redesigned Solutions

Solution 1

New Onboarding Journey

Introduced the Digital onboarding process. Built and integrated PAN, Aadhar & Bank account verification to check advisor authenticity. This process cuts down the time from 6 to 7 days to 24 to 48 hours. Now more then 80% of advisors start their business in just two days.

Interactive prototypes

Solution 2

Renewal Case Engagement

Redesigned the dashboard to integrate upcoming renewal cases for all line of business (LOB’s), added a bottom-navigation access point, and adjusted renewal notifications to 60 days for DST teams and 45 days for advisors.

Solution 3

Dashboard Redesigned

Redesigned the advisor dashboard to prioritize essential actions (Transactions, Payouts, Passbook, PRISM reports) and introduced additional sections for improved discoverability.

Solution 4

Introduced New Product Library Section

We introduced the dedicated option for insurance product catalogues in the name of product library.

Impact of Project

After UAT testing with advisors and minor final iterations, we rolled out updates to production for all advisors across India. Over a three‑month timeline, we observed measurable improvements:

  • Partner onboarding and retention jumped to 77% from 56% in the 3 months period.
  • Renewal case engagement improved to 72% from 61% over the 2 months period.
  • Partner Engagement: We saw an 35% of dashboard engagement and a 60% reduction in support tickets for basic tasks.
  • No more calls, confusion, and mismanagement related to insurers’ catalogues. 65% of advisors are using this feature.
