Problem Statement
Prior to equity funds being released, the Case Owners Department are required to ‘set completion’. This process has high volumes and requires high accuracy.
Process Overview
In order to release funds for clients, the business is required to ‘set completion’ which involves reviewing various completion documents against a checklist, liaising with the neighbouring BMU Department and finally requesting the funds. The SME performing a completions process would follow a checklist, currently paper-based, ensuring the case is accurately set for completion and funds are ready to be released to either solicitor or borrower.
This process is completed approximately 20-60 times daily, taking 15-60 minutes depending on case complexity.
Systems: MS Word, MS Excel, MS Outlook, Adobe Pro, DPR Back Office
Solution
The process inputs are both structured and unstructured, including hand written documents, therefore full automation is challenging. The VW will be required to complete a high % of this process before the human takes over and completes the process – ‘set completion’ and release funds. This process provides compliance checks against work done, ensuring accuracy has financial reward to the business.
