Client Overview

Our client is a Top 10 financial services firm managing over $500 billion in assets, serving 10 million+ customers across retail banking, wealth management, and investment services. With operations in 35 states and strict regulatory requirements from multiple oversight bodies, their compliance and operational processes were becoming increasingly complex.

The firm processes over 1 million transactions daily, requiring multiple levels of compliance checks, approvals, and documentation. Their legacy workflow systems were creating bottlenecks that risked regulatory violations and were consuming enormous manual effort from their 5,000+ operations staff.

The Challenge

The firm faced mounting pressure from regulators and internal audit teams due to inconsistent compliance processes and delayed response times to regulatory changes.

Manual Compliance Checks

80% of compliance verifications done manually, taking 48-72 hours per transaction and creating significant backlogs.

Regulatory Risk

Multiple regulatory violations due to human error, resulting in $5M+ in fines over the previous 18 months.

Approval Bottlenecks

Complex approval chains with no visibility, causing 10-day average approval times for critical transactions.

Document Generation

Manual creation of compliance documents taking 2-3 hours per case, with 15% error rate requiring rework.

Audit Trail Gaps

Incomplete audit trails making it difficult to demonstrate compliance during regulatory examinations.

Scalability Issues

Growing transaction volumes requiring proportional headcount increases, threatening profitability targets.

The Solution

We implemented a comprehensive workflow automation solution leveraging Einstein AI and Salesforce Flow to create intelligent, self-optimizing processes that ensure compliance while dramatically reducing manual effort.
