挑战
As the world’s fastest-growing neo-banking platform that works with various banks, Open faced challenges in providing data access to its various departments. Providing access to their underlying data by building an admin panel for various teams was both challenging and time-consuming. “We wanted an out-of-the-box solution that could analyze our logs and provide insightful information to our teams to take action based on that.” Setting up a log monitoring tool from the ground up using open source software may seem simple, but, maintaining and scaling requires time and investments. “Our log data ingestion increases month-on-month considering the number of transactions, and the interaction we get on our platform is increasing and we wanted a log monitoring tool that would automatically scale with us, without much intervention. After trying out various open source log monitoring tools, we decided to go with Sumo Logic, which was a perfect fit for our various needs,” says Ajeesh Achuthan, co-founder & CTO at Open.
关于客户
Millions of small- and medium-sized businesses in India struggle with maintaining multiple bank accounts, book-keeping their daily spending, and disbursing payments to their employees. Bangalore-based Open, Asia’s first neo-banking platform for SMBs and startups, solves this by offering them a platform that automates most of these tasks controlling payouts, performing bulk transactions, payment collections, and automated accounting without relying on multiple software systems and dashboards. Open provides a simple dashboard to perform financial activities for smaller businesses and has APIs for those who need to build custom transactional and banking flow as needed. They have over 500,000 merchants on their platform and have processed over $11 billion annualized transactions so far. Open was founded in 2017 by serial entrepreneurs Anish Achuthan, Mabel Chacko, and Ajeesh Achuthan, along with ex-TaxiForSure CFO Deena Jacob. In July 2019, it raised $30 million in a Series B funding round, led by Tiger Global Management, and saw participation from Tanglin Venture Partners Advisors. Existing investors 3one4 Capital, Speedinvest, and BetterCapital AngelList Syndicate.
解决方案
Open’s support team uses Sumo Logic to respond to customer queries related to transactions – with minimal effort and in less time. They were able to drastically reduce their support TAT from around one hour to under 10 minutes. This was not the case with just the support team, but with the development team as well. The team was able to pull out logs for transactions and forward them to the respective banks for analysis without delaying their TAT. Open’s development team also relies on Sumo Logic for intelligence on production issues and error trends. One of the biggest challenges faced earlier by Open’s development team was finding and killing a bug. While other log monitoring tools failed to provide a seamless log search experience, Sumo Logic’s search, however, was quick to sort through billions of log records and help the development team drastically reduce time spent on the logs and dedicate more time to product development. Because the Sumo Logic dashboard is powerful, yet easy for the team to use, common issues are also resolved faster without reliance on DevOps teams. Open also uses Sumo Logic in various use cases not confined to log monitoring. “Apart from the dev and support teams, we have all our AWS CloudWatch logs pushed to Sumo Logic. This helps our DevOps team monitor the cloud seamlessly without switching between dashboards. We also use certain apps inside Sumo Logic, like their security analytics app dashboard to get high-level insights on incidents and vulnerabilities.“

Real-time In-vehicle Monitoring
The telematic solution provides this vital premium-adjusting information. The solution also helps detect and deter vehicle or trailer theft – as soon as a theft occurs, monitoring personnel can alert the appropriate authorities, providing an exact location.“With more and more insurance companies and major fleet operators interested in monitoring driver behaviour on the grounds of road safety, efficient logistics and costs, the market for this type of device and associated e-business services is growing rapidly within Italy and the rest of Europe,” says Franco.“The insurance companies are especially interested in the pay-per-use and pay-as-you-drive applications while other organisations employ the technology for road user charging.”“One million vehicles in Italy currently carry such devices and forecasts indicate that the European market will increase tenfold by 2014.However, for our technology to work effectively, we needed a highly reliable wireless data network to carry the information between the vehicles and monitoring stations.”

Safety First with Folksam
The competitiveness of the car insurance market is driving UBI growth as a means for insurance companies to differentiate their customer propositions as well as improving operational efficiency. An insurance model - usage-based insurance ("UBI") - offers possibilities for insurers to do more efficient market segmentation and accurate risk assessment and pricing. Insurers require an IoT solution for the purpose of data collection and performance analysis

Smooth Transition to Energy Savings
The building was equipped with four end-of-life Trane water cooled chillers, located in the basement. Johnson Controls installed four York water cooled centrifugal chillers with unit mounted variable speed drives and a total installed cooling capacity of 6,8 MW. Each chiller has a capacity of 1,6 MW (variable to 1.9MW depending upon condenser water temperatures). Johnson Controls needed to design the equipment in such way that it would fit the dimensional constraints of the existing plant area and plant access route but also the specific performance requirements of the client. Morgan Stanley required the chiller plant to match the building load profile, turn down to match the low load requirement when needed and provide an improvement in the Energy Efficiency Ratio across the entire operating range. Other requirements were a reduction in the chiller noise level to improve the working environment in the plant room and a wide operating envelope coupled with intelligent controls to allow possible variation in both flow rate and temperature. The latter was needed to leverage increased capacity from a reduced number of machines during the different installation phases and allow future enhancement to a variable primary flow system.

Automated Pallet Labeling Solution for SPR Packaging
SPR Packaging, an American supplier of packaging solutions, was in search of an automated pallet labeling solution that could meet their immediate and future needs. They aimed to equip their lines with automatic printer applicators, but also required a solution that could interface with their accounting software. The challenge was to find a system that could read a 2D code on pallets at the stretch wrapper, track the pallet, and flag any pallets with unread barcodes for inspection. The pallets could be single or double stacked, and the system needed to be able to differentiate between the two. SPR Packaging sought a system integrator with extensive experience in advanced printing and tracking solutions to provide a complete traceability system.

Transforming insurance pricing while improving driver safety
The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the car insurance industry on a scale not seen since the introduction of the car itself. For decades, premiums have been calculated using proxy-based risk assessment models and historical data. Today, a growing number of innovative companies such as Quebec-based Industrielle Alliance are moving to usage-based insurance (UBI) models, driven by the advancement of telematics technologies and smart tracking devices.

MasterCard Improves Customer Experience Through Self-Service Data Prep
Derek Madison, Leader of Business Financial Support at MasterCard, oversees the validation of transactions and cash between two systems, whether they’re MasterCard owned or not. He was charged with identifying new ways to increase efficiency and improve MasterCard processes. At the outset, the 13-person team had to manually reconcile system interfaces using reports that resided on the company’s mainframe. Their first order of business each day was to print 20-30 individual, multi-page reports. Using a ruler to keep their place within each report, they would then hand-key the relevant data, line by line, into Excel for validation. “We’re talking about a task that took 40-80 hours each week,” recalls Madison, “As a growing company with rapidly expanding product offerings, we had to find a better way to prepare this data for analysis.”
