Case Studies

Manual Reconciliation Was Slowing Down Investor Reports

A broker-dealer managing a pool of MBS and ABS offerings partnered with a third-party securities custodian to generate accurate, timely investor reports. The process relied on daily remittance reports, investor memos, and trade confirmations arriving from multiple counterparties in inconsistent formats.

Manual reconciliation was time-consuming and introduced audit risk. The team needed a solution that could automate trade confirmation document extraction and normalize data across files without manual sorting.

The Challenge

The firm’s operations team was responsible for pulling key data points from high volumes of incoming reports.

Files arrived in PDF, scanned image, or mixed formats, making extraction inconsistent and prone to delays. Each client had a different reporting cadence, and the lack of standardized document structures made downstream reporting inefficient.

The team needed automated document processing and data extraction that could adapt to variation, handle both structured and unstructured files, and deliver reliable outputs for compliance and internal reporting.
