Managing fundraising projects with scattered tools can quickly become a headache. Between tracking dossiers, coordinating teams, managing documentation, and ensuring communication traceability, financial institutions face a growing need for centralization, agility, and automation.

 

In this changing landscape, integrated management platforms like Elix stand out by offering an agile, customizable low-code environment to digitalize and streamline every step of the fundraising process.

 

Through a concrete real-world use case, let’s explore how Elix simplified and optimized the management of a portfolio of financial operations.

Context & Client Objectives

The following use case involves a leading Brokerage and Asset Management Company (AMC) based in Ivory Coast, specialized in financial intermediation, securities administration, and financial engineering.

 

As a key player in the UEMOA region, this institution manages an increasing number of fundraising projects that require cross-departmental coordination, real-time visibility, and strict compliance standards.

 

Facing a surge in project volume and growing process complexity, the company sought to modernize its investment operations management by adopting a platform that could:

 

  • Centralize all fundraising project data in one place
  • Automate key business processes and workflows (validation, review, reminders)
  • Provide real-time visibility into fundraising statuses
  • Reduce processing delays and minimize errors caused by tool fragmentation
  • Strengthen traceability and reporting

How Did Elix Transform Fundraising Operations Management?

1. Defining Business Objects and Modeling the Workflow

The process began by structuring the business scope around the core business object “Fundraising”. To enhance data management and analysis, two complementary objects were also defined: “Investor” and “Sector.”

 

This modeling enables better classification, segmentation, and exploitation of project data across the workflow.

Using Elix’s integrated BPMN Editor, the key workflow phases were clearly and dynamically visualized:

 

  • Phase 1: Initiation & Preparation
  • Phase 2: Marketing & Roadshow
  • Phase 3: Negotiation & Structuring
  • Phase 4: Closing & Completion

 

Two additional statuses were also defined to cover all scenarios:

 

  • Archiving : for completed projects
  • Cancellation / Rejection : for interrupted or non-approved cases

This architecture ensures seamless tracking, full traceability, and perfect alignment with business realities.

2. Configuring Financial Project Management Views

Thanks to Elix’s built-in artificial intelligence, a dynamic synthesis view was created based on fields configured in the low-code builder. This centralized dashboard allows users to create, modify, sort, and filter all fundraising dossiers in a single workspace.

Elix AI Assistant automatically generates an SQL query from these fields and injects it into the table, ensuring real-time data visualization and zero technical intervention when creating or updating management views.

🎯 Result : Real-time data visualization with zero technical intervention

A shared dashboard was also deployed for all team members involved in a specific fundraising dossier, displaying associated tasks with progress indicators that update automatically.This setup provides a clear, real-time overview of each dossier’s progress, improving coordination and collaboration among team members.


All task columns, dashboard layouts, team roles, and processing timelines are 100% configurable within the app.

1/ Choose a visualization type (pie chart, bar chart, line graph, etc.)
