ADGI

Identity verification is field work before it is paperwork. This is the app the agent doing the visit actually carries.

Screens from the ADGI KYC app: an agent login, and a visit list split into pending, rescheduled and completed.

01 · the problem

ADGI came to Protorix with a problem that was hurting operational speed directly. The verification process ran on paper, which means an agent leaves with a list, comes back with forms, and somebody re-enters the results. Every step of that is latency and every handoff is a chance to lose a case. In a business paid to turn checks around quickly, the paperwork was not an administrative cost sitting beside the work; it was the constraint on how much work could be done.

02 · what i built

A Flutter app built for the person doing the visits rather than for the office receiving them. An agent logs in and gets their own queue, with visits sorted by state: pending, rescheduled, completed. That structure is the point. A rescheduled visit is the case that quietly disappears in a paper process, so making it a first-class status rather than a note in a margin is what keeps the pipeline honest. Results are captured at the address, on the phone, which removes both the re-entry step and the gap where a form goes missing.

An agent’s own queue
Each agent logs in to the visits assigned to them, rather than working from a printed list that has to be reconciled with the office later.
Visits with a state
Pending, rescheduled and completed as explicit statuses. Rescheduled is the one that matters: it is the case a paper process loses.
Capture at the address
The check is recorded on the phone at the point of the visit, which removes the re-entry step and the window where a form can go astray.

Questions

What people ask

What is KYC and why does it need an app?

Know your customer verification confirms that a person is who they say they are, often including a visit to the address they gave. It is field work, so the software that matters is the software the agent carries, not the system the office reads afterwards.

What did the paper process cost?

Speed, which was the client’s actual complaint. Every visit involved a form leaving the office, coming back and being re-entered, and each of those handoffs is delay and a chance for a case to be lost.
