Value Proposition

Optimize Operations
Realize significant value by identifying and fixing poor cross – channel processes resulting in sales leakages. Automating processes will drive efficiency savings and will also help avoid fines and negative PR by identifying sources of non-compliant activities across a range of processes. Improving operational risk capabilities, using breakthrough analytics that leverage structured and semi-structured data will help in avoiding losses.

Fraud detection
Digitization has paved way for cyber criminals to commit more frauds. Intelligent systems and tools will assist banks to deal with the same using advanced predictive analytics, machine learning and data mining. Analytics solutions will be used to recognize frauds that are not very obvious and analyse them further. Data integration, utilizing unstructured data and machine learning techniques can help detect fraud cases.

Application Screening
Analytics in banking can help process huge volumes of applications, without excluding important variables, without delays or errors, without growing tired- all of it with regularity and steadiness with the results being accurate and authentic.

Value Proposition

Customer Acquisition and Retention
Focusing on optimized targeting, instant identification of high-value customer segments most likely to respond will be done along with expansion of customer base by acquiring the right kind of customer. Applying this technology will also help discover the churn patterns and develop profiles of users who have left, to get an insight of why they left and discover strategies to keep them satisfied. Using predictive analytics, the bank can identify which customers are willing to switch to any other bank and the reason behind their decision.

Customer Buying Habits
Segregating customer segments and targeting them with highly relevant, individualized messages tailored to each customer’s profile, resulting in a higher response rate ultimately helping to deliver the right product to the right person.

Cross Selling
Examining customers’ usage, spending, and other behaviour leads to effective cross-selling of the right product at the right time. It can happen by analysing the existing customer behaviour at places where multiple products are offered, which specific products are to be sold to whom hence predicting the outcome is what successful cross-sellers do.

Value Proposition

Collections
Banks have a mix of customers who always pay on time and those who lag. It is a tricky task to keep a track and maintain records of all individuals and differentiate who to focus more. Using analytics banks can attain a better understanding of their portfolio risk and thus improve the productiveness of the collections process. Most importantly analytics helps identify the customers who would be at risk in the future and what actions banks should take to achieve positive results.

Better Cash and Liquidity Planning
Tracking the past usage patterns and the daily coordination between the in- and out-payments at branches and ATM’s will predict the future needs of their potential customers. Optimal management of liquid assets can result in extra income and a proper analytics plan can help obtain an overview of future changes in investment and liquidity options.

Marketing Optimization
Planning marketing campaigns and programs and monitoring the results closely provides an insight into customer behaviour and attitudes helping the marketing team deliver the right message at the right time to the right customer.

Value Proposition

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)
Identifying the best customers, making them better in different ways, and securing their loyalty, are few areas that banks are focussing. Using analytics, banks can:
Know which customers should be the focus of new customer engagement efforts
Identify the factors that enhanced returns on customer engagements in the past
Use that knowledge to understand why customers responded to certain messages and promotions

Feedback Management
Banks and financial firms can keep up their relationship with the customers by giving them the right services and products for their need and matching individual preferences in the most sorted way.
