Requirement of the Bank
Our client which is an Islamic bank is known to have a traditional system of banking where
everything was manual. The
clients were increasing and so was the pressure and work. They needed a solution for
successfully handling the incoming
volume of work so that all the processes could run smoothly and with ease.
The bank and its processes relied completely on traditional ways of banking. It did not have an automated or centrally accessible system. The bank wanted a plan which would make the handling of the tasks less tedious and provision of easy access to all branches and services. There was a need for an automated system that could monitor and handle all the branches and the operations of the bank.
As the system was completely manual, there was no estimation of wait time or issue-resolving, and the customer would be in the queue for a long period further delaying the process. It was also difficult to keep a track of customers and their requests. Also, it was not easy for the employees to handle and resolve all requests in time. That is when the Bank decided to find a solution to strive better and adopt advanced mechanism that would no longer require sending e-mails to different departments, queuing, etc. There was a requirement of digitizing the Banking forms and improving customer satisfaction.

Gramener Digital Solution
We decided to address the issue by automating the bank processes.
We customized the website as per the requirements of the Bank up to their expectations and satisfaction. As a result, we were able to provide a solution and implemented the workflow of the operations of the bank. We automated all processes of RFO (Retail finance operations) in BPM which were – Finance Account Maintenance, Settlement, Finance Accounts Merging, Release mortgage, and Staff finance services. These were the main 5 processes to be implemented.
All these processes are now centrally handled, tracked, and monitored. The Bank now has access to the entire picture and can easily check the status of requests and queries on the website. Our solution system has proved to be beneficial for organizing and managing customers’ financial information. This gives a better picture and helps in more ways than one. The new system also lets you compare the present and previous performance of the bank.
With the help of a few details like, RIM, Emirates ID, account number or phone number it is possible to fetch data of the customer. Application can be reviewed by the concerned team/branch. Once the application status is reviewed/approved, the attached documents are archived on a third-party tool – IBM File Net, and the financial data is stored in the banking system.
