The Challenge
A rapidly growing fintech startup was drowning in manual processes as transaction volumes exploded from 1,000 to 50,000 daily. Their operations team spent 4+ hours daily on repetitive tasks: reconciling payments, generating reports, notifying customers, and syncing data across 8 different systems. Manual errors reached 3-5%, customer notifications were delayed by 2-4 hours, and the company couldn't hire operations staff fast enough to keep pace with growth.
The company needed to either hire 3+ additional operations analysts or find a way to automate their processes. They chose automation—and HostingX delivered.
