Digital Workflow automation
Rapidus Africa Powering Your Last-Mile Digital Transformation
In the fast-paced world of financial services, the "last mile" is where growth happens. It's where you connect with new customers, serve remote communities, and build lasting relationships. But this critical stage is often bogged down by inefficient paper-based processes, cumbersome legacy systems, and a lack of real-time visibility.
Rapidus Africa transforms your last-mile operations. Our powerful and intuitive digital workflow and process automation platform eliminates paperwork, accelerates turnaround times, and provides unparalleled control over your field activities. Move from manual chaos to automated efficiency.
​How It Works: Our Digital Workflow Engine
​​
We convert your existing manual processes into a seamless, transparent, and fully digital journey. Each step is designed for maximum efficiency, security, and ease of use for both your staff and your customers.
1. Customized Electronic Forms: We begin by creating intelligent electronic forms that perfectly mimic your existing paper forms for account opening, loan applications, claims, and more. This ensures a low learning curve for your team and maintains procedural consistency, but with the added power of digital validation to reduce errors from the very start.
2. Automated Case Management & Tracking: The moment a form is submitted, a new case is automatically created in the system. Each case is assigned a unique tracking number, giving your team and even your customers a single reference point to follow its journey from submission to completion.
​
6. Intelligent Approval/Rejection Workflow: Define your business rules, and let our system do the rest. We configure multi-level approval workflows, automatically routing each case to the right person or department. Approvals or rejections can be done with a single click, with mandatory reasons for rejection, ensuring accountability and transparency.
7. Automated Reminders & Escalations: Eliminate bottlenecks and ensure adherence to your Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The system automatically sends reminders for pending tasks. If a case remains idle for too long, it can be automatically escalated to a manager, ensuring nothing ever falls through the cracks.
8. Instant Filing & Easy Retrieval: Once a case is completed, it is automatically filed and indexed in a secure, central digital repository. Forget searching through dusty filing cabinets. Find any case in seconds using the tracking number, customer name, date, or any other custom field. This makes audits, reporting, and customer service inquiries incredibly fast and simple.
3. E-Signature & Digital Signature with Timestamps: Capture customer and officer signatures directly on a tablet or smartphone. Our system embeds these e-signatures into the document and applies a secure, tamper-proof digital signature with a precise timestamp (YYYY−MM−DD HH:MM:SS). This creates a legally binding, auditable record that confirms who signed what, and when.
4. Secure Attachment Submission: No more lost documents or incomplete files. Users can easily snap photos of national IDs, proof of address, collateral, or any other required documentation and attach them directly to the case file from their mobile device. All attachments are centralized and linked to the unique tracking number.
5. Clarification, Commenting & Sticker Cards: Collaboration is built-in. If a back-office approver needs more information, they can send a clarification request directly to the field officer's device. Our system allows for internal comments, notes, and "sticker cards"—think of them as digital sticky notes—to highlight key information or flag issues without altering the original submission.
