Anand Rathi
From paper-based inspections to intelligent compliance management across 800+ branches
Branch Compliance Was a Nightmare
With over 800 branches spread across India, Anand Rathi faced a massive challenge: ensuring every location met stringent SEBI compliance standards. Their old system was drowning in paperwork.
Manual Inspection Forms
Field auditors carried printed checklists, filling out dozens of forms per branch. Reports took weeks to compile, and errors were common.
No Real-Time Visibility
Head office had zero visibility into ongoing audits. By the time reports arrived, issues had often escalated into serious compliance violations.
Inconsistent Standards
Each auditor interpreted compliance requirements differently. What passed in Mumbai might fail in Delhi—creating regulatory nightmares.
Photo Documentation Chaos
Branch photos were taken on personal phones, uploaded to shared drives, and often lost. Proving compliance during audits was nearly impossible.
Why Generic Audit Tools Didn't Work
Anand Rathi tried several off-the-shelf audit management systems. None understood the unique complexity of financial services compliance.
Rigid Checklists
Generic tools offered basic forms that couldn't adapt to SEBI's evolving compliance requirements or branch-specific scenarios.
No Photo Intelligence
While they allowed photo uploads, there was no way to verify if the right documents were photographed or if images met compliance standards.
Poor Offline Support
Many branch locations had spotty internet. Generic tools crashed or lost data when connectivity dropped during inspections.
Fieldproxy's AI Changed Everything
Fieldproxy configured AI specifically for financial services compliance. The system doesn't just collect data—it understands what compliance looks like.
Smart Checklist Adaptation
AI dynamically adjusts inspection questions based on branch type, previous audit history, and current regulatory focus areas.
Photo Verification AI
Computer vision validates that required documents are present and legible in photos. Auditors get instant feedback if they need to retake images.
Anomaly Detection
AI flags unusual patterns—like a branch consistently passing checks that similar locations fail—for deeper investigation.
Predictive Risk Scoring
The system learns which branches are likely to have issues, helping compliance teams prioritize their audit schedules intelligently.
