Problem Statement

Fragmented data sources, slow processing and limited scalability were holding a major bank back. Pulling and transforming data from core-banking, CRM, transaction systems and external APIs was slow, and with no central platform, 1,000+ users had no single source of truth to rely on.

Fragmented data across core-banking, CRM, transaction systems and external APIs.
Inefficient processing and limited scalability hindered decision-making.
No centralised platform to serve 1,000+ business users reliably.
