Customer Introduction

Their core mission is to optimize their clients’ business processes and enhance their competitive edge.

Customer Challenge

The customer experienced significant challenges with managing their bank guarantee requests. They lacked corporate-wide visibility of the guarantees being requested, had no clear process to follow, and were unsure about their available bank credit facilities. This lack of structure led to inefficiencies and reduced control over their financial management. To address these issues, the customer implemented RIVO™  to streamline their guarantee management processes, monitor controllers’ activities worldwide, and optimize their use of bank credit facilities. RIVO™ became their central repository for all guarantee-related information, providing them with a single source of truth to manage their operations more effectively.

Solution Overview

The award-winning collaborative trade finance platform RIVO™ became the customer’s central hub for all guarantee-related activities. To support the needs of this customer, a variety of AWS services were integrated into the RIVO™ solution.

To support the needs of this customer, a variety of AWS services were integrated into the RIVO™ solution. Amazon S3 provided a scalable and reliable storage solution where all guarantee-related documents could be securely stored. Cross-region replication ensured redundancy, enhancing the platform’s resilience. The ability to index documents with OpenSearch allowed for quick retrieval and easy access to important information, helping to improve the customer’s visibility of their guarantee requests. Amazon CloudFront, AWS’s Content Delivery Network, helped ensure low-latency access for the customer’s global operations. By using CloudFront, the platform could be accessed quickly and efficiently, regardless of the user’s location. This feature was essential to support the customer’s decentralized teams.

AWS API Gateway provided a secure means for client-server communication. This capability was crucial for maintaining clear and reliable interactions within the platform. The API Gateway also supported the integration of third-party services, allowing the customer to expand their capabilities as needed. To ensure optimal reliability and uptime, Amazon CloudWatch was implemented to monitor the platform continuously. It provided real-time alerts to the operations team in case of any issues, allowing for quick responses to maintain service continuity. This level of monitoring was key to keeping the customer operations running smoothly.

Lastly, security was a major consideration for this customer. AWS Shield for DDoS Protection service was used to ensure the platform was protected from Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which are a common threat in online services. This feature provided an extra layer of security, giving the customer confidence in the platform’s resilience.
