01
Getting data in accurately was top priority
This data feeds compliance filings, where there's no room for error. Users apply a template, map columns to the system's fields, and set transformation rules to keep everything formatted correctly.
02
Turning obligations into quick actions
With compliance spread across many companies and branches, knowing what to act on first wasn't obvious. The My Compliance Dashboard showcases the most urgent items automatically, and a quick-action modal lets users handle them on the spot.
03
Taming the transaction data
Even after upload, users still needed to fine-tune the data — so I built a table that scrolled both horizontally and vertically, with every cell editable in place. The real challenge was the native pivot view, letting users reconfigure that same data Excel-style, grouped however they needed.
