Bankowe podejście do generowania dokumentów

Banking approach to document generation

Is it possible to easily automate the complex process of generating large numbers of highly complex and multi-variant documents? Especially in cases where each document has to contain personalised information and be delivered to the customer in a paper version? Let's look at how such a process might work using the example of the Bank's handling of debt collection cases. Debt collection in a bank Every bank daily launches hundreds of actions related to unpaid loan instalments or unauthorised overdrafts on an account. Already at the first stage of its debt collection activities, using soft methods, the bank sends reminders to its customers in the form of personalised text messages or emails, and then, in the absence of results, it sends appropriate reminders by registered letter containing information about the overdue liability and legal sanctions. In the next stage of debt collection, e.g. field collection, the bank, proposing an amicable solution to the case, produces further documents containing a sett...
VSoft archITekt - Jak w tydzień (7 wieczorów) zautomatyzować procesy w startupie

VSoft archITekt – How to automate startup processes in a week (7 evenings)

The slogan "startup" is very often associated with a technology company (sometimes fintech) that builds software tailored to its needs inhouse. It seems that there is no place for the use of low-code platforms in such conditions. They offer great business opportunities, but due to their generic nature, they also introduce certain limitations in the implementation of the required application. It may be unacceptable for a startup. There is a lot of truth in this, but only for new ventures that focus strictly on software. A large proportion (if not most) of startups operate in the world of innovative but physical products or services. In this case, the software only supports the company's operation, and its implementation should not be too absorbing for the founder. On the other hand, in many cases, we are talking about an innovative and non-standard production process, which makes ready-made ERP software useless. This is where the low-code platform VSoft archITekt comes in handy. Case study Let’s c...
Czy przetworzenie 1,5 miliona spraw w 47 minut z wykorzystaniem platformy low-code jest możliwe?

Is it possible to process 1.5 million cases in 47 minutes using a low-code platform?

When building complex management and decision-making solutions, we often need to download customer data. This includes, for example, information about the products they own and the transactions they perform. Simply downloading the data for solution is only the first step in the process. Next one is to verify the received records, interrelate them and calculate the relevant aggregates (indices, sums, etc.). Dedicated tools are used to streamline data feed and processing, for instance, receivables monitoring systems in a bank, based on the daily processing of tens of millions of data about customers, their payments and contact history.   Streamlining feed processes works well if data processing is reliable and scalable as the business grows. When data is not processed within the set timeframe, a sequence of events, sometimes hard to manage quickly, begins. These range from a delay in operating units to generating outgoing correspondence based on outdated data and sending it to customers. As a result, the bank ...

Nietypowe procesy logistyczne w firmie produkcyjnej - jak sobie z nimi radzić?

Unusual logistics processes in a manufacturing company – how to deal with them?

Unusual logistics processes have long been a challenge for companies whose business model is to make short batches of bespoke products. Until now, most companies have had to manually handle every step of the process. Rapidly developing technology and low-code platforms, which are gaining in popularity, come to the rescue in such cases. They provide the possibility to create applications tailored to the individual needs of a manufacturing company and map the actual processes occurring in logistics. Thanks to their use, order processing can be performed considerably faster and more efficiently. Which logistics processes may be challenging?  The main task of logistics in a manufacturing company is to optimally manage the flow of raw and semi-finished materials and the resulting final products to be delivered to the customer. This involves a number of various stages, such as the organisation of procurement, warehousing, distribution of goods and handling of returns. All of this requires extremely careful plann...
W jaki sposób low-code może pomóc firmie produkcyjnej?

How can low-code help a manufacturing company?

Regardless of what area a manufacturing company operates in - almost all seem to face similar challenges. Whether it's the food industry, heavy machinery manufacturing or perhaps a pharmaceutical company - evolving systems, computerisation and process automation affect the way a business operates. To keep up with the technologically developing world, you might need to hire a professional and constantly learning, and preferably a large team of IT specialists. Manufacturing companies rarely have a vast pool of such specialists, they are usually individuals. Fortunately, today's low-code solutions offer assistance that proves almost invaluable given the high demand for IT workers and relatively low supply of them.   What is low-code? Using a low-code development platform (LCDP) consists in replacing traditional programming by a manually typed code with the possibility of applying tools that are mostly (but not entirely!) available in a graphical form and allow for software development by the ...
Low-code: czy wydajność ma znaczenie?

Low-code: does performance matter?

"Begin with the end in mind" that’s the second one of “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey. Does it apply when implementing a low-code platform? In my opinion, yes, and very much so.   I have recently had a talk with a potential customer who is having problems with a system based on low-code. The very construction and implementation of the system took place without any problems, but over time it turned out that the platform used is completely not adapted to the size of the business and is not able to support the required amount of data (although from the perspective of "traditional" systems, these volumes are nothing extraordinary).   Unfortunately, this pattern is repeated relatively often. There are many manufacturers of low-code platforms who have focused only on the fancy user interface and the speed of building small applications. However, they often lack experience or an idea how to approach more complex systems that appear in large organizations. They promise nirvana and u...
VSoft archITekt dostępny w chmurze

VSoft archITekt now available in the cloud

Our clients, in particular financial institutions, pay special attention to data security. For this reason, until recently, most of them preferred to store data on their own servers. Therefore, VSoft archITekt was used primarily in the on-premises model.   In recent years however, the perception of data storage has gradually changed. Companies not wanting to deal with maintaining their own servers are increasingly choosing to use cloud services.   To meet these needs, we have provided a service that allows you to run applications built on our platform in the cloud. Thanks to Microsoft Azure, it is possible to meet the highest standards in terms of availability and security.   Companies already having an Azure subscription, can now purchase archITekt from Azure Marketplace just like any other service. Users can conveniently install and run applications in the cloud, directly from archITekt Studio.   Our partners and clients appreciate flexibility, therefore archITekt is still available free of char...

archITekt – Generating documents in investment advisory

After publication of my last post, "How to Create a Mail Merge System in 5 Easy Steps", I received a lot of feedback from users of our platform. It turned out that I focused on how to build a complete application, but I passed over the extensive capabilities of the Document Generation Module itself.   In the following paragraphs I will try to make up for it by using an example of an advisory and sales process for investment products.   A day in the life of an advisor   Imagine an investment advisor. She acts like a broker in the sale of various types of financial products and at the same time advises clients on their choice. As it is with bigger amounts and long-term obligations, each of her proposals must be delivered in the form of the written offer.   In addition to typical elements (customer data, investment size, security), such a document contains descriptions of the proposed products and specification of all options selected by the customer. It also depicts a simulation of costs and reven...
Jak stworzyć system do korespondencji seryjnej w 5 prostych krokach

How to create a system for mail merge in 5 simple steps

The need to generate and send personalized documents or otherwise, mail merge is still very common in many companies. It is used in communication with clients or partners. Formerly, printed and sent by post, now the same documents are sent to customers by e-mail. There are many business cases here: invoices, settlements, various types of letters and contracts.   Companies deal with this challenge in two different ways:   In large organizations, IT team implements specialized modules which, after integration with other systems, generate documents on demand. Unfortunately, these modules are often very "technical": integration requires programming work and document templates must be prepared, for example, in the form of XSLT transforms (sic!). More often, however, companies use simple mechanisms such as mail merge available in MS Office or simply fill out documents by hand. Still, the lack of automation makes this process tedious and prone to human error.   Is there a ...
