Autologyx is an operations platform that enables businesses to manage, automate, integrate and scale all their work using the same platform. Customers who need the right blend of matter management coupled with customisable workflow can use a simple, no-code drag-and-drop interface and rules engine, while expert builders can rely on further low-code capabilities to manage even the most complex use cases. Typical use cases include self-service workflows, contract lifecycle management, claims processing, or any compliance workflow, all utilising a common set of native functionalities such as the ability to configure dashboards, task allocation and triage, document automation, and two-way integrations. The Autologyx engine is live – it can push or pull data or documents in real-time - and all workflow and task data at any point in time is captured and made available for analytics on a BI solution of your choice, meaning customers can ensure and monitor compliance activities as well as having complete flexibility as to data and metrics. Processing over 1 billion process transactions last year and built to handle the largest non-legal use cases, all of this is delivered via robust, enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with state-of-the-art data security.

Rangewell has built a revolutionary new service for UK businesses thinking about or looking for business finance. Instead of restricting choice to a few finance products from a handful of lenders, we’ve combined the best in technology with real business finance experts and developed a system that searches every type of business funding across the entire business finance market. We help SMEs and their advisers find, compare and apply for all types of business finance in a way that: • Searches the entire UK business funding market (High Street Banks, Challenger Banks, Specialist Lenders, Niche Lenders, Alternative Lenders and P2P Lenders) • Is detailed in its approach and completely independent in its recommendations • Finds appropriate and affordable solutions for every business and every finance requirement • Is absolutely free to businesses and their advisors Our service is based on two core strengths. The first is a market leading, advanced matching algorithm. It automates the searching and comparison of thousands of available finance products and matches them to the needs of the applicant. But we believe that technology alone can only be an enabler, not a solution. So our second strength is our team of business finance experts, which includes SME lending experts that have previously worked at High Street lenders, accountancy firms and other financial specialists. Together, this combination of advanced technology with real business finance expertise enables Rangewell to: • Offer personalised and expert finance to support to every type of business, from Sole Traders to fast-growing SMEs • Give a free and independent service that covers every type of business finance • Provide a single, dependable source of support for any business or advisor with a finance need So, if you’re an advisor with clients looking for finance or an SME looking for an independent, free review of what business finance is appropriate for you then give us a call.
