Data Challenges

Pain Point Summary

Inability to predict the daily workload volumes, resulting in staffing utilization challenges and inconsistent efficiency levels.

Data Description

Challenge

SPS experienced a varying and unpredictable daily volume of its client's loan documentation for processing. This presented a significant challenge to the business regarding staffing utilization and SLA compliance and resulted in inconsistent levels of efficiency.

Disparate data sources, inconsistent/incomplete data, and limited in-house data science resources provided significant headwinds to making more data-centric and AI-driven decisions as an organization.

Objective

SPS was looking to develop predictive analytics to improve staffing alignment and utilization. Specifically, they wanted to predict daily volumes for the upcoming five rolling business days. SPS's goal was to use these predictions to determine staff requirements by zone and better steer the client on downstream processing needs.

Solution

Working with Devron's data science experts and using its federated machine learning and data science platform, SPS developed a predictive AI model for determining critical daily work volumes. The team leveraged Devron to analyze disparate, private datasets without moving data, including loan package volumes, processing stage details, and broader external market data, such as interest rates, to better predict loan documentation volumes.

SPS also analyzed workload sources and employee efficiency to provide insight to its customer to streamline the operation jointly.

Results

In less than six weeks, SPS had a predictive AI model that forecasted daily volumes with over a 90 percent accuracy rate, vastly improving customer service and operational efficiency.
