Automating Month-End Consolidation: The SkyLife and Dexterous Success Story

SkyLife was facing challenges with gathering data quickly and efficiently enough to meet its tight month-end consolidation requirements.

They sought a solution to automate this based on a specific timeframe, as required, which led them to partner with Dexterous to help with this automation requirement.

The Situation

SkyLife struggled with getting their month-end consolidation tasks on time and quick enough, given their tight schedule and lack of manpower hours, which resulted in loss of human hours that could be directed to more important matters. We are consolidating around 66,000 rows every three hours to update the dashboard.

The Solution

Dexterous implemented an advanced automation system using API and Dashboards. This solution included automatically pulling data from QB and adding them to the live dashboard where the SkyLife team can review all data for all their client entities at once.

The implementation process involved automatic refreshing of the dashboard to remove any manual work and update, ensuring minimal disruption to the client’s operations. We worked closely with the client to meet their functional requirements.

Ongoing Outcome

The automation project at SkyLife is a testament to the transformative power of technology. By automating the month-end consolidation process, SkyLife significantly improved its operational efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making capabilities.

This successful collaboration highlights the importance of understanding client needs and delivering customized solutions to drive tangible business benefits, as well as taking notes on the improvements required for the next coming projects to perfect the flow and provision of Dexterous’ services to all clients.

Dexterous remains committed to supporting SkyLife in its future automation endeavors, ensuring sustained growth and competitiveness in the Asset Management industry.

The successful completion of the automation project at SkyLife highlights the profound impact that tailored automation solutions can have on operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
By addressing specific challenges and leveraging cutting-edge technology, we were able to deliver a transformative solution that met but exceeded the client’s expectations.
