Description

This first project by Process Lab SRL, focuses on providing digital transformation, security, and process optimization services to companies.

This module responds to market demand, helping businesses avoid transactions with sanctioned entities. The project is innovative, profitable, and aims to enhance corporate governance while contributing to a more compliant business environment.

The company''s current launched product, dMonitor, provides assistance to reporting entities in meeting the requirements of Law 129/2019, which aims to prevent and combat money laundering and terrorist financing, by providing access to a database of publicly exposed persons in Romania.

Recognizing the market''s need for a module on sanctions lists, the company has created a module for politically exposed individuals in Romania and plans to create a new module that focuses solely on tracking international sanctions lists. The module''s draft has already been prepared using sources that will be combined to form the sanctions lists. The company plans to deploy this new module on the dMonitor platform. Sanctions are punishments imposed on individuals or organizations for violating laws or regulations.

The company''s second project (2023/380594) is focused on enhancing dMonitor’s capabilities by harnessing artificial intelligence and machine learning.  The additional aspect is driven by the need to use an advanced AI due to the complexity and volume of data from 65 international sanctions sources, surpassing traditional methods'' capabilities. It enhances detection accuracy using AI, streamlines customer onboarding for faster and more accurate processes, automates AML (Anti-Money Laundering).

Summary of project results

In almost a year, the start-up managed to attract seven paying clients from the local market, with sales cycles being quite lengthy. Additionally, in the sales processes, the dMonitor team often encountered the fact that company managers claimed to already use an international solution but mentioned that it doesn''t work as well on a local level.

,The project by Process Lab SRL is strategically aligned with the company''s focus on providing digital transformation, security, and process optimization services to businesses. Its core activities involve implementing RPA solutions, identifying processes for digitalization, offering whistleblowing and KYC solutions, and creating a sanctions list module to meet market demand.
