CASE STUDIES:
What Finance Leaders Are Saying
Dell’ team needed secure, compliant document handling at scale. Their experience shows what regulated financial services teams gain when intake, retention, and controls are standardised.
THE CHALLENGE:
Secure, Multi-Country Intake Without Slowing Operations
For this financial services organisation, inbound documents weren’t “admin.” They were time-sensitive and sensitive by nature, arriving from 15 countries and supporting critical business processes.
Their team faced three compounding problems:
- Inbound complexity at scale: Post arriving from multiple markets created inconsistency and handling risk.
- Confidentiality pressure: Materials included sensitive documents that required strict controls end-to-end.
- Storage + compliance burden: Hardcopy retention and destruction needed to align with GDPR requirements, but on-site storage was expensive and space-heavy.
They needed a partner who could take ownership of secure intake, keep SLAs tight, and maintain a controlled chain of custody, without distracting finance from core work.
THE SOLUTION:
Standardised Mail Capture & Compliant Retention
Kefron replaced Dell’s fragmented mail handling with one secure, standardised process designed for enterprise mail management. Document scanning and indexing was completed within 7 days of receipt to meet the SLA.
- Dedicated post processing and scanning support.
- Contracts scanned and uploaded within 7 days of receipt.
- Secure offsite storage to remove on-site cost and space constraints.
- 5-year retention with controlled destruction to support GDPR.
- ISO-certified records centre for governance and assurance.
- Regular service reviews to keep KPIs and SLAs on track.
- A consistent chain of custody across 15 countries.
They needed a trusted partner to run this end-to-end, so finance could stay focused on core operations.
THE RESULTS:
Better Control, Stronger SLAs, Less Operational Drag
Dell required secure document management to control access to sensitive contracts and records. With mail management standardised across markets, they achieved consistent execution, clearer oversight, and lower compliance risk.
- KPI/SLA performance stayed on track, supported by regular service reviews.
- More reliable handling of confidential contracts, improving downstream service delivery.
- Lower GDPR exposure, with 5-year retention and controlled destruction in place.
- Reduced on-site storage burden, avoiding the cost and space strain of keeping hard copies internally.
- Less operational load on finance, as mail management and document handling were offloaded.
- A stable long-term partnership, with strong performance and competitive pricing removing the need to seek alternatives.
