Evolution of the Digital Proposal
Project start: June 2020
Proposals make up 55-65% of Digitech's new and renewal business. These documents are the first impressions made before any other face-to-face phase in the sales cycle. Although the EMS Billing industry can at times be dull, that does not mean that the proposal also must be dull. A fresh, contemporary feel was incorporated into this new template using pops of color, more curvaceous font, and enhanced white space. A welcome change to a document that had been in circulation since the early 2000s.

Proposal Covers
Cover update - our competitors had proposal covers that were similar to the old design, and the same style had been in circulation for a few years. There was a lack of the accent orange color, so it was introduced on the front page and other elements within the proposal.

Appendices
Front cover update - the introduction of white space on the front page. Created to match supporting document designs. An in-house design solution to production issues: dark ink bleeding onto other proposal pages after printing solid blue pages for multiple appendix copies.

Icon Set
A cohesive set of icons to be used throughout the proposal document and other supporting materials.
Outline and color fill styles. Organized in Canva as SVG icons to allow for easy editing by other team members.
