Document Collection – Five-Fold Reduction in the Collection Time

Data Solutions - Document Collection Case Study

BUSINESS SITUATION

Collecting investment documents translates into multiple portal check, logins authentication, as well as any other overhead required to manage the collection process – this generated heavy manual activity with minimum output. The average collection time for a document was greater than 5 minutes which impacted scalability of a pre-dominant manual collection process.

SGA Approach

For efficient process management, SGA implemented a combination of features and services that systematized the collection process. Thus, limiting the resources needed to collect the documents thereby establishing controls over the collection process

Systematic collection: This involves connecting login credentials for 3rd party websites with connect inbox, motored by notifications received for documents posted on the portals.

Programmatic collection: Deploying automation techniques to mimic the manual collection workflow, resulting in limiting/eliminating human interventions

Overall solution helped in reducing the average document collection time to less than a minute
