Shawbrook Bank faced significant inefficiencies due to the absence of cloud systems and limited business productivity tools. Their operations relied heavily on manual processes that were both time-consuming and labor-intensive. Key workflows, such as loan and mortgage processing, were hindered by outdated systems, leading to longer turnaround times and increased operational costs. Shawbrook needed a digital transformation strategy to streamline workflows, reduce manual workloads, and enhance their ability to interface effectively with clients.
ITPro partnered with Shawbrook Bank to implement a comprehensive digital transformation program, leveraging cutting-edge solutions from Pegasystems. This included workflow automation and low-code tools designed to modernize operations and improve system efficiency.

By automating repetitive tasks, ITPro empowered Shawbrook’s team to focus on higher-value activities, significantly improving productivity across critical areas of the business.
The transformation delivered tangible results for Shawbrook Bank. Loan processing times were reduced by an impressive 75%, saving underwriters 1,500 cumulative hours monthly. Buy-to-let mortgage processing times were halved, while underwriter productivity tripled, enabling the team to handle more cases efficiently. Enhanced client-facing software improved the customer experience, providing a smoother and more responsive banking process. With ITPro’s expertise, Shawbrook Bank achieved a seamless, scalable, and future-ready digital ecosystem, driving efficiency and growth.
