Firstsource solution
Conducted business process re-engineering
to structure the process flow and achieve standardisation for automation.
Implemented best-in-class OCR capability
backed by machine learning. This enabled the handling of structured, as well as unstructured, data extraction with 100% accuracy.
Established universal automation control room
for on-demand RPA deployment for any stage of loan processing. Attended automation was used for exception management of extremely poor quality documents beyond AI’s capability.
Fully automated 77% of in-scope process steps
More than 15% of the entire process was automated, using assisted automation. The end result is capable of supporting high volume fluctuations in its current deployed capacity, and a recent 30% spike was supported without any issues.
