The Client
One of India’s largest online commodity and derivatives exchanges, this organization plays a pivotal role in enabling secure and transparent trading for brokers, institutional investors, and individual traders across the nation. With a growing user base and stringent compliance requirements, the exchange needed to modernize its digital infrastructure to scale efficiently and meet evolving regulatory expectations.
Recognizing the importance of transforming its member relationship and compliance operations, the exchange turned once again to its trusted partner—Ambit Software—to implement nexaFIN for Exchanges, an advanced, modular CRM solution built on SugarCRM.
Challenges Faced
Prior to adopting nexaFIN, the exchange was operating on a legacy CRM platform that posed several limitations:
- Cumbersome Membership Management
Managing thousands of members with varied compliance profiles, connectivity needs, and documentation was inefficient and prone to human error. - Non-standardized Workflows
Manual and inconsistent processes for onboarding, renewals, and compliance updates led to delays and audit vulnerabilities. - Disconnected Network Provisioning
Lease line/internet provisioning and renewal tracking were scattered across systems, leading to service lags and billing inconsistencies. - Fragmented and Unstructured Data
Key information such as KYC details, addresses, and compliance records lacked a centralized repository, limiting visibility and data-driven decision-making. - Lack of Engagement Insights
Poorly structured tracking of member interactions—calls, meetings, and service tickets—restricted proactive support. - Integration Bottlenecks
Poor interoperability with external platforms like NCFE and AP Web Services led to redundant data entry and process inefficiencies. - Weak Role-Based Access
Inadequate access control mechanisms created security risks and compliance exposure. - Outdated Data Synchronization
Delays between legacy and newer systems impeded access to real-time, reliable information.
