The problem
A leading financial services company had scaled operations significantly, but inaccurate merchant location and category data continued to flow through onboarding and transaction systems, driving recurring financial losses that were invisible in standard reports.
- •Merchant data errors went undetected as they flowed across multiple systems
- •Transaction routing mistakes created avoidable financial losses at scale
- •Fraud models were weakened by unreliable input data from upstream systems
- •False-positive transaction declines were hurting customer experience and revenue
How NexDiscovery worked
Analyzed merchant location, category and transaction data
NexDiscovery connected and correlated merchant onboarding data, category classifications, and transaction records within the client's secure environment, creating a unified view of data quality across all systems.
Identified systemic data quality breakdowns
AI agents uncovered systemic patterns of data errors driving hidden financial risk at scale, identifying the specific upstream points where inaccurate data was entering the transaction and fraud systems.
Modeled the financial impact and prevention controls
NexDiscovery projected that enforcing validation and monitoring controls at the point of data entry could eliminate $380K in quarterly losses while reducing false-positive blocks by surfacing issues before they propagated downstream.
The results
- ✓$380K in quarterly loss exposure identified for immediate prevention
- ✓Reduced transaction routing errors and false positive declines
- ✓Improved visibility into operational risk drivers across merchant systems
- ✓Upstream data validation controls implemented to prevent recurrence
Ongoing impact: The operations team implemented NexDiscovery-recommended validation controls at merchant onboarding, eliminating the primary source of recurring data errors and reducing quarterly loss exposure significantly.
"The losses were not coming from fraud. They were coming from bad data. NexDiscovery made that visible before it compounded further."
