Summit Wealth Completes 45% More Retirement Plans

How a 6-advisor retirement planning firm replaced disconnected CRM and planning tools with one platform — and dramatically increased their plan completion rate.

The Challenge

Summit Wealth helped pre-retirees and retirees navigate their financial futures, but the advisor workflow was fragmented. Redtail tracked client relationships while MoneyGuidePro handled planning projections — and neither system connected to the other or to the firm's communication tools.

Prospects often stalled in the onboarding process because data gathering was manual and slow. Advisors toggled between systems to prepare for reviews, and plans that should have taken two weeks to finalize stretched into six because follow-ups fell through the cracks.

  • Prospect onboarding stalling due to manual data gathering
  • Advisors toggling between Redtail and MoneyGuidePro for reviews
  • Plan finalization stretching from 2 weeks to 6 weeks
  • No automated follow-up for document collection or plan review

The Solution

Summit Wealth migrated to Dewx over three weeks, building out a unified prospect-to-plan workflow that automated the bottlenecks.
