At the click of a button you can help clients see their financial position and the impact of your advice.

What is Visualise?

Visualise is a client engagement tool which leverages Xplan’s CRM and modelling tools in a modern and easy to use interface. Advisers can use visualise to help their clients better understand their financial position, possibilities and recommendations.

Why should you use Visualise?
  1. Client engagement: Visuals designed to engage clients and articulate the value of advice, leading to a delightful advice experience that clients understand.
  2. Simple to use: Offers intuitive navigation in one screen, with all of the key tools and information within easy reach.
  3. One integrated & trusted system: It’s an engagement solution using and modifying Xplan data. It doesn’t require head office to look outside of Xplan for a solution.
  4. Modelling capabilities: Uses the feature-rich functionality of Xtools+ and allows advisers to quickly showcase the value they can offer their clients, and bring to life their clients’ current and future financial position.
How can you access Visualise?

Visualise can be accessed via the Hubs menu or via the Client Hub:

    I watched the webinar on Visualise, I liked its features and ease of use. I think it could be useful for presenting data clearly and engagingly.

    However, I wonder how Visualise could be used for review meetings to show a client's progress over time, as well as monitor and track the clients progress in comparison with previous years.

    I also want to know if there is a way to share and update the interactive visualisations with the clients, and if they can interact or comment on them through the portal?

      Hi Hayden, 

      Did you receive any updates on your query about using Visualise to illustrate a client's progress over time and comparing their progress with previous years?

        Hi Hayden and Nate_Greenaway

        Thanks for your questions.

        You can indeed compare two scenarios in Visualise (i.e., one current scenario with one backdated scenario) to illustrate a client's progress over time. Currently, you can compare scenarios starting as early as 1 July 2023.

        In 2019, we introduced backdated scenarios so you can compare scenarios in Compare Charts (Xtools+, not Visualise). Check out this Iress Community article for more information.

        However, clients cannot comment on the graphs or track historical data in Visualise. We will consider this for future development.

        Thanks!
