Customer Story: Piraeus Bank
How we helped Piraeus Bank cut the lead time of a key process by 86 %
“We gave the data to QPR ProcessAnalyzer, and right away, in 5 minutes, we saw the bottlenecks of the process."
The need: process transparency and efficiency
Piraeus Bank, a leading Greek multinational financial services company with €34.7 bn worth of net loans and 5.7 million customers, needed to bring clarity to its consumer loan process.
Besides the sheer number of process steps taking place each month – 20 000 applications processed with 110 000 user events – the process was often handled in a non-standard way.
Traditional process mapping, interviews, and workshops did not show the reality of the process, and automation was no remedy.
Business needs:
- Creating a detailed end-to-end process visualization of the consumer loan process
- Identifying the key bottlenecks in the selected process
- Monitoring KPIs and rework in the process flow
- Identifying deviations from the designed process
- Identifying root causes for inefficiencies
- Identifying areas of improvement to optimize performance
