01 / Case Study

Fast-Track Onboarding STP
(Digital Banking Platform)

Digital banking onboarding across web and mobile for startup and mid-market clients, covering Wires, ACH, RTP, and Check Deposits with back-office integrations.

Problem

Solution
Standardized onboarding workflow with upfront validation, pre-populated fields, guided data capture, and automated assignment/acceptance steps tied to back-office APIs.
Impact
  • Onboarding time reduced from 72 hours–1 week to under 1 hour
  • Submission failures reduced by 90% and rework lowered by 62%
  • Onboarding tickets reduced by 80% for the supported segment
  • Scaled adoption from 45 clients/15 products to 180 clients/45 sub-products
  • Improved release stability by reducing workflow breakages and cycle-time variance

Checkout Funnel Optimization
Yum! Brands · 50M+ Digital Orders / Year

Consumer-facing digital ordering funnel (KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell) spanning web and mobile apps, serving tens of millions of orders annually across multiple payment gateways and tender types.

Problem
Drop-offs, declines, and timeouts were hard to diagnose with limited instrumentation, making it impossible to isolate issues by device, browser, or gateway.
Solution
Instrumented funnel events, analyzed failure patterns by device/browser/gateway, and ran experiments on messaging and retry flows to improve completion rates.
Impact
  • Reduced checkout drop-off rate via A/B-tested messaging, retry flows, and gateway failure fixes — directly improving order conversion across 50M+ annual consumer transactions
  • Built real-time funnel instrumentation enabling same-day diagnosis of payment failures by device, browser, and gateway — reducing operational response time from days to hours
  • Expanded payment tender coverage (credit, debit, digital wallets) improving checkout success rates for a broader consumer base
