The Challenge

Inconsistent and delayed third-party tools

Koyfin recognized a pressing need to overhaul their document processing when the third-party tool they were using consistently underperformed with regard to accuracy and efficiency, especially with faxes and scans. Extended processing times, often exceeding 72 hours, coupled with unreliable data extraction accuracy, led to delays in providing timely financial insights to their clients. Equally problematic, many securities were not recognized or mapped correctly, which meant that holdings came through with missing or inaccurate tickers. These issues not only hampered operational flow and required manual review and correction, but they also directly impacted client trust and satisfaction, prompting an urgent search for a more dependable solution.

The Goals

Improved accuracy and speed for clients

Koyfin's primary objective was to streamline their document processing to facilitate quicker decision-making and deliver real-time financial insights. They required a solution that could:


  • Significantly reduce processing turnaround times to enhance operational agility.


  • Ensure high data accuracy to maintain client confidence and enhance analytical outputs.


  • Scale with their expanding document volume to support projected growth to 10,000 documents per year.

The Results

Better service and client outcomes

By integrating Powder's state-of-the-art API, Koyfin achieved transformational results in their document management processes:


  • Accelerated Turnaround: Cut document processing times from days to an average of 30 minutes, allowing for near-instantaneous data availability.


  • Improved Accuracy: Placeholder for specific improvement percentage ensuring client reports and insights are more reliable and actionable.


  • Resource Optimization: Freed up internal resources to refocus on enhancing Koyfin’s portfolio analytics capabilities and client service model.


  • Enhanced Client Experience: Placeholder for improved client satisfaction metrics and growth in customer base post-integration

Koyfin's successful integration of Powder's API represents a significant enhancement to their operating model, setting a benchmark for reaction speed and precision in financial document processing. The new AI architecture means Koyfin can spend less time on troubleshooting data quality issues and more time building the core product. This provides users a faster, more reliable path from document upload to portfolio analysis.
