Example workflow

Work a disputed transfer case

In this fictional example, a customer reports a transfer they do not recognize. The fraud team needs a case record that connects evidence, decisions, and follow-up.

  1. Open the case

    Record the disputed transfer in the fraud desk and gather evidence from connected systems. Keep sensitive identifiers masked during routine review.

  2. Review and approve

    An analyst reviews the evidence and records the proposed action. A separate reviewer checks sensitive actions under four-eyes approval.

  3. Track the outcome

    Track the dispute and any restoration through closure. Review the case record and reporting drafts before they are released.

01 · Challenge

The challenge

Teams looking at Beacon usually face too many portals, regulatory clocks and manual reports. Analysts move between systems for one case. Dispute and reporting timelines are tight. Case reports take time to write and check. Left alone, these problems slow people down and make results harder to prove.
