Access Credit Union: Integrating a Custom-Built CRM with Celero’s Intergration Services
As one of Manitoba’s largest credit unions, Access Credit Union (Access) has the capacity to leverage their in-house integration and development team to innovate and test new ideas. In 2018, they took on an ambitious project to build their own customer relationship management (CRM) platform that would be highly customized to the needs of their credit union and their members.
This CRM (now known as Engage) would consolidate data from across their organization and eliminate the need for Access employees to make individual updates across multiple software systems. However, Access also needed an integration layer that would allow their employees to not only view information but to securely make changes to data in real-time.
Celero’s integration services was the solution to this challenge, providing API connectivity for their CRM, banking system and all of their current and future technologies. Read the full case study to learn more about the project.

Weyburn Credit Union (Weyburn) serves members across rural Saskatchewan and prides itself on playing an important role in the community. Weyburn is known for providing outstanding in-branch service, but their leadership team recognized that they needed a to provide a digital experience that was equally as good.
The need for a modern digital experience was especially important for long-term growth and member retention, as the credit union wants younger members to continue banking with them as they leave their rural communities to pursue careers and education in larger city centres.
Weyburn engaged Celero Xperts™ to help them achieve their digital transformation goals and create a roadmap for success with tangible outcomes to measure their progress.

Encompass Credit Union: How a rural credit union transformed its IT infrastructure
After undergoing a merger, Encompass Credit Union (Encompass) needed to unify their IT infrastructure and modernize their systems to achieve better stability, security and the capacity to scale their business.
As a rural credit union, Encompass had to weigh their options between significantly scaling up their internal IT team or outsourcing their IT to a provider. After completing a cost-benefit analysis, it became clear that a managed services agreement with Celero would provide Encompass with the IT resources and future scalability they needed to sustain long-term growth.
We worked with Encompass to completely revamp their infrastructure from the ground up, ensuring they were in-line with the latest compliance standards and allowing them to maintain secure modern hardware and software.
