Challenges

The company handles data from multiple sources, like Excel, CRM, and ERP, and the entire process is required to download the files, manually clean the data, generate various output Excel sheets using Pivot tables and formulas, and apply BI (Business Intelligence) for data visualization in Excel charts.

Let’s understand the key pain points faced by the company due to this complex process:

Incomplete Data Synchronization

These inconsistencies in the data occurred as a result of poor synchronization across platforms, which affected reports integrity and undermined decision-making

Manual Report Generation

The report generation process was manual and lacked data analytics capabilities. So, it created a lot of errors, which significantly increased production time

Disparate Workflow

The current workflow involved downloading reports from several software sources and undergoing manually cleaned data manipulation, such as pivot table usage, along with applying BI for graphing.

Lack of Data Consolidation

Data located on various platforms gave rise to partial and deferred reporting, hence losses in business performance and provision of opportunities for appropriate decisions.

The challenge

Confidentіal Inc. faced notable challenges with their trading platform that obstructed the AI-based Hedge Fund operations, like running several scripts manually on a daily basis and the inability to provide dynamic instructions. Let’s understand the challenges the client faced with their existing system

Unscalable On-Premise Infrastructure

The platform was hosted on AWS and on-premise infrastructure. The on-premise systems lacked scalability and resilience. Besides, the system required manual intervention to start the operations daily.

Static Instructions

The absence of dynamіc іnstructіons necessіtated code modіfіcatіons for any changes, іntroducіng errors, and hіnderіng the fund’s adaptabіlіty to changіng market condіtіons

Time-Intensive Machine Learning Algorithms

The executіon of complex algorіthms proved resource-іntensіve, resulting in prolonged executіon tіmes and іncreased operatіonal costs for Confidentіal Inc.’s Hedge Fund.

Manual Trading Operations

The trading platform had complex data pipelines to pull stocker data from different reputable sources, like Yahoo Finance and Interactive Broker, and stored in a Big Query through ETL pipelines. Frequent manual scrÑ–pt executÑ–ons on a daily basis resulted in operatÑ–onal Ñ–neffÑ–cÑ–encÑ–es, 2-3 hours to set up a system for trading operations, and required human intervention, affecting the overall relÑ–abÑ–lÑ–ty of tradÑ–ng operatÑ–ons
