Unified Data Unlocks Fintech Innovation
Pollen Finance transforms reporting, operations, and analytics to drive growth, efficiency, and trust.
A fragmented data landscape prevented Pollen Finance from achieving the strategic insights and efficiency it needed. With Venn Cubed’s expertise, the company consolidated its data from multiple systems into a unified lake and implemented IBM Planning Analytics. This transformation enabled Pollen Finance to make faster, smarter decisions while fostering growth and trust.
“By consolidating our data into a unified lake and implementing advanced reporting tools, we can now see the bigger picture. This allows us to make smarter, more strategic decisions quickly and efficiently. Venn Cubed’s expertise has been instrumental in achieving these goals.”

Data fragmentation hinders growth and operational efficiency. For Pollen Finance, fragmented data across various internal and third-party systems was a significant challenge. The scattered data made it difficult to achieve consistent reporting, operational efficiency, or an accurate view of client loan repayment behavior. Without a consolidated system, inconsistencies and errors were inevitable, slowing decision-making and impacting strategic growth.
The organisation needed a unified view of data to streamline reporting, improve forecasting accuracy, and enable real-time decision-making. These challenges were compounded by manual processes and reliance on multiple disconnected tools, which hindered operational agility in a fast-paced fintech environment.
An Integrated, Automated Approach
Venn Cubed implemented a unified data lake architecture hosted on AWS, integrating tools like AWS Glue, S3, Athena, Lambda, and EC2. This approach automated data workflows, ensuring accurate and consistent consolidation. The solution also included IBM Planning Analytics to streamline reporting and provide detailed visibility into loan repayments.
A comprehensive training program and documentation equipped Pollen Finance’s team to manage routine system updates independently, fostering long-term sustainability.
A Foundation for Strategic Growth
The partnership with Venn Cubed delivered transformational results for Pollen Finance. Automated reports eliminated manual processes, reducing errors and providing timely, actionable insights. The hands-off data lake architecture allowed staff to focus on strategic initiatives, while automated notifications and reminders improved repayment rates and strengthened client relationships. Additionally, consolidated data highlighted inconsistencies, enabling clean-up efforts that improved reliability across the organisation.
Looking ahead, Pollen Finance plans to use its data lake for predictive analytics and automation to further refine loan vetting processes.
