The Challenge
90%
approval rate required for modifications
Aspiring to the highest standards
WPC supports X12’s standards development process, which requires a strict quorum and 90% voting approval for modifications. With hundreds of transaction sets and dozens of maintenance requests to manage each year, ensuring quorum and tracking participation were both complex and essential.
Time intensive manual processes
Historically, ballots were tracked manually or by email, consuming 48+ hours of CTO and developer time per cycle. 
Growing member dissatisfaction
The process lacked clarity: real-time quorum was difficult to verify, and indiscriminate reminders hit everyone--even those who’d already voted--creating frustration among members.
The Solution
40
hours of manual work saved per ballot
Immediate insights, real-time tracking
WPC implemented Sogolytics to digitize ballot management, enabling accurate tracking of votes and quorum
in real time. 
Improved member experience
Intelligent reminders targeted only non-respondents, ensuring higher completion rates without annoying members who had already voted. 
Saving time and effort with automation
The platform streamlined reporting, eliminating three FTEs (CTO, manager, and developer) and allowing just one manager to handle the process. 
The Result
83%
decrease in time invested in ballot creation, distribution, follow-up and analysis.
  • Time required for ballot management dropped from 48 hours to just 8hours, an 83% decrease. 
  • Staffing needs dropped from three to one, freeing up the CTO to prioritize focus on innovation, leadership, and strategy.
  • Quorum tracking and vote tabulation became reliable and transparent, ensuring X12 standards could meet strict quality guidelines and move forward confidently.
