Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

To improve the client’s user experience and improve Millennium Trust’s operational efficiencies, LaunchPad Lab developed a platform for managing service agreements and automatic rollover participant submissions. Led by streamlined user flows that walk a client through the process, the new platform now automates and more tightly controls a process that was historically performed manually.

The RSP platform now gives Millennium Trust’s recordkeeper, third-party administrator and plan sponsor clients new visibility into the status of their automatic rollover submissions and their agreements on file. Improved transparency to their clients and automated email notifications help Millennium Trust more easily process automatic rollovers, reducing the amount of manual procedures and increasing overall operational efficiency.

In Q4 of 2022, LaunchPad Lab worked with the Millennium Trust team to onboard their first clients to the new Retirement Services Platform. The initial users have been excited to start using the new platform and are thankful for improved transparency for automatic rollovers.

The Millennium Trust team is continuing to iterate and improve the product based on user data and feedback as they roll it out to additional recordkeeper, TPA and plan sponsor automatic rollover clients in 2023. Shortly after launching automatic rollovers on the platform, the second service (Search Services) was launched in late July, with additional services planned for future releases.
