In the BFSI sector, case allocation quietly drives performance. Whether it’s loan origination, verification, or collections, how quickly and accurately cases are assigned defines customer experience and affects operational cost.
For years, this process relied on spreadsheets, static rules, and human judgment. It felt efficient, but the hidden costs were real—delays, uneven workloads, compliance gaps, and lost revenue.
Location-based intelligent case allocation changes that. Powered by AI and location intelligence, it transforms how BFSI institutions scale with precision and predictability.
The Hidden Cost of “How We’ve Always Done It”
Manual oversight once worked. A manager juggling Excel sheets and agent lists could manage small volumes. But when case loads rise or SLAs tighten, the system falters.
Common Breakdowns in Manual Allocation
1. Slow Case Assignment
Cases sit in queues waiting for review. Delays lead to missed SLAs, slower collections, and customer frustration.
2. Uneven Workload
Static rules ignore real-time availability and proximity. Some agents are overloaded while others wait, leading to burnout and inefficiency.
3. Route Inefficiency
Without location data, agents spend more time on the road than resolving cases. Costs climb while productivity falls.
4. Compliance Gaps
Missing timestamps and incomplete audit trails increase risk and draws regulatory scrutiny.
5. Subjective Decisions
Bias or outdated rules skew allocations and weaken morale.
Manual allocation slows growth, drives up cost, and erodes trust.
What Intelligent Case Allocation Really Is
Intelligent Case Allocation integrates AI, business logic, and real-time data to automate work distribution. It ensures the right person reaches the right location, at the right time.
Dista’s case allocation engine, powered by SPACE parameters, integrates with core systems like LOS, LMS, and CRM to give leaders full visibility and control.
How It Works
The platform pulls data from multiple sources:
- Case details: risk type, product, DPD buckets, urgency
- Agent data: Base location, skills, workload, certifications, performance history
- Live data: agent location and availability
- Business rules: SLAs, regional policies, compliance priorities
The AI engine then calculates the best match for each case, balancing efficiency with compliance and traceability.
From Guesswork to Predictable Performance
1. Faster Case Resolution
Cases are instantly matched to available, qualified agents. A leading bank improved lead processing time by 400% after using Dista Sales.
2. Higher Productivity
Automated allocation and route optimization let agents focus on resolution instead of travel. BFSI institutions report a 20–25% rise in productivity.
3. Better Customer Experience
Assignments happen faster, updates are timely, and customers see consistent service.
4. Stronger Compliance
Each field activity is timestamped and geotagged, creating a verifiable audit trail that simplifies reporting and reduces risk.
Where Intelligent Case Allocation Delivers Value
1. Field Collections
Dista prioritizes high-risk accounts using DPD logic and assigns them to appropriately skilled agents.
2. Beat and Route Optimization
Integrated location intelligence minimizes travel time and maximizes output.
3. Agency Allocation
Cases are distributed by capacity and expertise, reducing bias and improving accountability.
4. Resource Forecasting
Historical and live data help forecast agent requirements by region and risk, keeping teams prepared during high volumes.

The Evaluation Checklist for BFSI Leaders
Keep this checklist handy when evaluating allocation platforms:
- Can business rules be edited without vendor help?
- Does it explain why each case was assigned?
- Are audit logs immutable and exportable?
- Does it integrate with your LOS, LMS, and CRM?
- Can it simulate staff shortages or surges?
- Is there a manual override for exceptions?
Dista Sales meets these standards, helping leaders move from reactive management to predictive planning.
