Client Background

FileForms is a digital platform that simplifies entity management, compliance tracking and state-specific document processing for companies across the U.S.

NextGen Coding Company engineers support FileForms across full-stack development, backend architecture and QA. Once the email program the team runs had grown to hundreds of thousands of sends a day, it needed a dedicated growth marketer.

The Problem

The email program ran at serious scale, but engagement lagged behind it.

  • Low engagement: only about 13% of recipients opened and 2% clicked.

  • Spam complaints above 1% put sender reputation, domain health and email revenue at risk.

  • A specialized audience: entity formation and compliance topics demand accurate, technical copy.

Engineers handled the technical side well. What was missing was an email specialist who could write technical copy, drive conversion and work inside a program that lives in code rather than a typical marketing tool.

Our Solution

  • Sourcing a technical email marketer: NextGen sourced candidates directly and screened them against defined criteria, using practical writing exercises to test technical copy skills.

  • Embedded with the engineers: the marketer works alongside the senior engineers who run the program, so changes ship without hand-offs.

  • Copy-led optimization: she first rewrote the core product email library, then created several variations of each email to diversify sends.

  • Protecting sender reputation: clearer, human-written copy cut complaints almost immediately, and better deliverability compounded the gains from more engaging emails.

Results

  • Unique open rate rose from 13% to 20% in the first two months, a 54% relative increase.

  • Unique click rate doubled from 2% to 4% in the same period.

  • Spam complaints fell from over 1% to 0.01%.

  • Deliverability improved from about 80% to 90%.

  • Revenue from the core product's email program rose 30% in the first month and held.

Why It Matters

At this volume, email is a core revenue channel, and one skilled specialist has enormous leverage: better opens, doubled clicks, near-zero complaints and a real revenue lift.

It also shows how NextGen works: engineers run the system, and the same sourcing model places the specialist who makes it perform.

Frequently asked questions

What did NextGen actually build in this engagement?
NextGen designed and shipped a production system end to end: architecture, data model, application code, integrations, security review, and deployment. A senior U.S.-based team owned delivery from discovery through launch, and the client kept full ownership of the codebase and cloud accounts.
How long does an engagement like this take?
Most engagements of this shape run eight to sixteen weeks from kickoff to production. A discovery and architecture sprint takes two to three weeks, the first working release lands around week six, and the remaining time covers hardening, integrations, and rollout support.
What technologies were used?
Typical stacks on our engagements are React and TypeScript on the front end, Node.js or Python services on the back end, PostgreSQL for data, and AWS or Azure for infrastructure, with AI and machine-learning components where they measurably improve accuracy or throughput.
Can NextGen deliver a similar outcome for us?
Yes. We start with a paid discovery sprint that produces an architecture, a scope, and a fixed price or a staffed team plan. From there you can proceed with a fixed-scope build or a dedicated team. Book a call and we will scope your project against this case study.
