By transitioning manual operations to online processes, the portal saved valuable time and streamlined efforts.

The team developed the system from scratch, starting with wireframe mockups of the portal and setting up the infrastructure on the Azure cloud. Furthermore, they created a Lead Management System (LMS) to monitor the investor/distributor onboarding process. Additionally, they developed a drawdown system with maker/checker logic for validation and approval. Moreover, they successfully incorporated mutual fund advisors, payment gateway integration, and third-party integrations for E-signing and Aadhar card verification into the system.
