Exchangelodge

Automating business processes to increase efficiency and leverage from 3rd party administrator relationships

Exchangelodge

Automating business processes to increase efficiency and leverage from 3rd party administrator relationships.

The Challenge

We have long partnered with fund administrators to provide accounting and related services to our absolute return strategies clients. Without an efficient to review and oversee the data produced by the various administrators, we found ourselves preparing parallel books and records for all portfolios and relying on legacy technology that limited our ability to scale. 

The Solution

By introducing automation to the validation and oversight of core accounting data via Exchangelodge, we were able to optimize our workflow. Instead of running a parallel data review process, we implemented an exception-driven oversight process, solely focusing on the problematic data. The solution supports three key areas: dataflow automation, data interrogation and cleansing, and process control. 

The Results
  • 400%+ increase in process efficiency from one accountant handling 12 portfolios to now handling 50+ portfolios
  • 33% of related operational staff reallocated to higher-value tasks due to termination of previous operating model 
  • 20+ vital databases integrated via automated, real-time processes 
  • 50+ business rules and validations for every valuation 
  • 0 accounting entries are booked by our team for approximately 100 portfolios, transferring low value, time intensive work to the fund administrator

Canoe

Eliminating manual document processing and data entry to drive organizational scale 

Canoe Case Study

Eliminating manual document processing and data entry to drive organizational scale.

The Challenge

On behalf of our clients, we receive 30,000+ unique PDF documents from investment managers representing quarterly statements and cash flow notices. Many of these documents need to be manually downloaded from different sources, which is an extensive and time-consuming process. Additionally, the lack of standardization across documents makes it challenging to automate processing and manual processing is resource-intensive and not scalable.  

The Solution

By leveraging Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) via Canoe, we are able to automatically retrieve documents from various sources, efficiently review them, and automatically extract relevant data points. This creates a scalable solution and allows us to reallocate our human resources to other priorities. 

 

The Results
  • ~30% of quarterly statements are automatically booked straight through to our general ledger without human interaction 
  • We are positioned to reallocate ~20% of the team to other priorities
