This manual process is not only very time consuming, but is ripe for human error. Duplicate data also exists across all of these systems, and often in different formats. Finlabs automated the data gathering process as a routine that would run multiple times daily. Our automated process collects the data to one huge data pool, and cleans and re-processes it into a more suitable form for easy translation into billing and account information.
We built a process using Microsoft Azure Functions to automatically request data from a variety of data sources. The gathered data is then re-processed to ensure that it is usable and in the desired format to work within the system. To make this happen we utilized a combination of Azure Storage, Azure SQL Database, and Azure DevOps.
When utilizing data, precision is a must. Even more so when the data you are using must also be served up to customers for billing and reporting. Because we re-process the data our system ensures that the data is not only accurate but is presented clearly and is ultimately usable for Netox's end customers.
With an ongoing collaborative partnership established, we will be constantly working with Netox to further improve and evolve the platform to leverage more and more complex machine learning to create more
efficiencies and better accuracy.
