In the world of customer risk management, one challenge remains a constant thorn in the side of operational efficiency: data gathering. The due diligence process, though essential, is notoriously time-consuming, fraught with inefficiencies, and riddled with opportunities for error. 

For businesses that rely on deep understanding of customer risk profiles and accurate risk signals, the process often feels more like a juggling act than a streamlined operation. But what makes this seemingly simple task so excruciating? 

The pain points of traditional data gathering

1. Fragmented data sources across tools

Imagine trying to piece together a puzzle when each piece is hidden in a different room. Many teams face this reality as they sift through various tools and platforms to gather the necessary information for due diligence. The result? Lost time and fragmented data that compromises efficiency. 

2. Email overload

Emails remain the primary method of communicating with customers to request information. This approach creates a sprawling web of communication threads, with crucial details scattered across inboxes. It’s a setup that practically invites operational delays and missed follow-ups. 

3. Manual tracking of missing information

Keeping tabs on what’s missing and what’s been received is another manual headache. Spreadsheets and sticky notes often replace centralised systems, leading to an error-prone process that drains productivity.

4. Increased risk of errors through manual data entry

Each manual input increases the likelihood of operational mistakes. Whether it’s a typo or a misfiled document, the ripple effects of these errors can damage the integrity of your customer risk profiles.
