Proficient digital communication with shareholders using NIMBUS ShApp®

According to the new corporate law, shareholders must be given the opportunity to electronically issue powers of attorney and instructions to their independent proxy. Many clients rely on NIMBUS ShApp.

The platform allows further electronic interaction between a company and its shareholders. These can decide, for instance, if they wish to receive their invitation to the AGM by email or by post and whether they want to have the documents to study beforehand in printed or digital format. This sustainable option helps to save paper and postage.

 

 

What our platform can do

ShApp is more than just a voting platform: it is a modern solution for managing shareholders with utmost efficiency. It enables secure, personalized electronic interaction between the company and its shareholders and allows them to access relevant documents at any time. 

All employees in our ShApp Customer Support Team are personally available for companies and their shareholders, both by phone and digitally. They offer assistance in all matters relating to share register management and general meetings.

Nimbus demonstrates what customer orientation, precision and commitment look like. This collaboration simply feels good – to our Board of Directors, our Legal Consultant, and of course to me as a Project Manager. I appreciate their personal and proactive support. This is why I am very happy to be able to recommend the Nimbus technology, as well as the Nimbus team, to all of our Raiffeisen banks.

What is NIMBUS ShApp and what are the solution’s benefits?

NIMBUS ShApp is an electronic communication platform for direct and secure digital communications between an organization and its stakeholders. It supports invitation and message mailings, online registration or cancellation for the AGM, delegation of votes to the independent proxy, as well as digital voting at virtual or hybrid meetings. All these functions are processed via a secure, legally compliant channel: fast, traceable, and cost-effective.

What added value can NIMBUS ShApp offer to the Board of directors, the CEO and the IR managers?

The Board and the CEO gain a transparent overview and complete control of shareholder communications. All messages sent are documented, delivered on time and traceable. This mitigates the risk of information gaps and helps to meet compliance requirements at all times. ShApp is also an essential tool for the Investor Relations team: it allows a targeted and audit-proof communication and reduces manual procedures. Important documents, including the Annual Report or the AGM invitation, are delivered digitally, while feedback from shareholders can be systematically evaluated.

How do shareholders benefit from the use of NIMBUS ShApp?

Shareholders receive information directly via the secure platform, thus avoiding email risks and too much paperwork. They can access messages, the agenda and the AGM invitation at any time, take part in votes or edit their preferences. All this is enabled by a centralized, user-friendly platform hosted on Swiss servers.

How does NIMBUS ShApp integrate into existing system environments?

Interfaces to clients’ and portal systems can be implemented flexibly because Nimbus develops its proprietary software inhouse. For example, a Single-Sign-On feature was set up for customers, enabling shareholders to access the ShApp environment directly via the client’s portal without having to log in twice.

How does Nimbus guarantee data protection and confidentiality?

NIMBUS ShApp is operated exclusively in infrastructures located in Switzerland. Nimbus’ information security management system (ISMS) is certified according to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. All data is transmitted in encrypted form and stored in redundant Swiss data centres. Data protection and integrity are an essential part of Nimbus’ ISMS.

Can NIMBUS ShApp also be used in international corporations?

Yes, it can. The platform is multilingual, scalable, and customizable to the corporation’s individual CI/CD. This makes it suitable for international corporate structures too. Delivery times, languages, and recipient groups can be flexibly defined, which is ideal for businesses with a global shareholder base.

What distinguishes NIMBUS ShApp from email or postal communication?

NIMBUS ShApp is secure, verifiable, and proficient. Unlike with traditional channels, every delivery is documented and every action is traceable, legally compliant and in accordance with the DPA. Moreover, communicating via ShApp is environmentally friendly, reduces returns, saves costs and promotes the corporate image as a modern, responsible business.

Are there any customer feedbacks on the use of NIMBUS ShApp?

With the introduction of NIMBUS ShApp, Swiss Re simplified its AGM process by addressing the complex interface issues. The platform was set up according to Swiss Re’s needs and the user interface was modernized. The solution has achieved a state-of-the-art level that meets the insurer’s high standards. Markus Zwyssig, Director & Head of Share Register at Swiss Re, comments: “This is what partnership in action looks like!”
