Role-based Challenges

Edit Content
Lack of intelligent insights on potential markets and opportunities
Unbalanced territories and center workload
Limited customer facetime, low agent productivity
Location driven optimization to optimize journey/day plans
Inability to visualize and run simulations or experiments to increase agent productivity
Lack of strategic optimization to increase customer facetime on center visit dates -which branch the agent is allocated, field agent (who will visit), center visit time
Lack of systems to run geo-intelligent simulations factoring in km, ideal base location of agent, POI data and more at district level
Edit Content
Lack of real-time visibility on field agents
No system to validate true visits and visit outcomes
Manual individual loan customer assignment to agents leading to inefficiencies
Ineffective mapping of customers to agents and centers
Unable to introduce timely offers and schemes to individual loan customers with existing systems
Edit Content
Inefficient day plan with poor route optimization
Spread out customers and centers leading to fewer customer visits
Lack of central system for beat plan, recording visit outcomes and managing KPIs
Role-based challenges of MFI
