Core Process Automation Services

1. End-to-End Process Orchestration

Solution for pain point: rising process complexity

If your organization struggles with processes that span multiple departments and IT systems, end-to-end orchestration might be what you need. Looking to eliminate silos in your operations? Process orchestration can connect your people, systems, and devices.

Examplary use case: A mortgage application process could seamlessly connect customer application, credit checks, risk assessment, underwriting, documentation, compliance verification, and approval – ensuring each department knows exactly when to perform their tasks and providing visibility throughout the entire process.

 

2. Decision Automation Implementation

Solution for pain point: high shares of manual processes 

If your staff spends too much time on routine decisions, decision automation might free up valuable resources. Looking to ensure consistency in your business rules? Decision modeling and automation could help. Our business-oriented approach empowers specialists departments to make changes by deploying Decision Models and Notation (DMN), without requiring extensive technical expertise. We believe in cooperative development of the code, bringing together business and IT perspectives for solutions that truly match your requirements.

Examplary use case: An example of decision automation would be for a credit limit increase decision. This decision could be automated to evaluate customer payment history, account age, credit score, and spending patterns to instantly approve increases within predefined parameters, leaving only exceptions for manual review and significantly accelerating response times.

 

3. BPMN Implementation

Solution for pain point: Misalignment between business and IT functions

If you’re seeking clarity in your business processes, BPMN 2.0 (Business Process Model and Notation) offers a standardized approach to process mapping that bridges the gap between business and IT. BANCOS can help bring standardization and efficiency to your process execution and documentation.

Examplary use case: A customer onboarding process for credit cards could be visualized to show exactly how KYC verification, account setup, card issuance, and welcome communications flow together, ensuring regulatory compliance and consistent customer experience across all channels.

 

4. REST API Development

Solution for pain point: Insufficient connectivity between internal and external systems

Are you expanding your digital sales channels or internal IT systems? API development could connect your core systems to new interfaces. If you’re looking to enhance your mobile banking capabilities, custom APIs might enable innovative features.

Examplary use case: Comparison platforms are key sales channels, especially in the lending business. With dedicated APIs, customer inquiries and data can be transferred from there to the internal banking systems to enable a smooth and seamless onboarding process.
