The Challenge

What the client was facing

Every month the head office team spent days exporting core banking data, pasting figures into spreadsheets and building a separate report for each branch.

The process was slow, and copy and paste mistakes regularly reached branch managers.

Our Approach

How we tackled it

  • Built a Python pipeline that reads directly from the core banking export.
  • Calculated portfolio quality measures and month on month variances automatically.
  • Generated a branded PDF report for each of the 12 branches, with charts and templated variance commentary.
  • Scheduled the run and set up automatic email distribution to every branch manager.
The Results

What changed

Monthly reporting time fell by 90%, and because no figure is copied by hand, reports have gone out with zero errors since launch.

The head office team now spends that time reviewing exceptions instead of building spreadsheets.
