Intelligent automation for complaints handling

DISP regulation demands fair, prompt, and well-evidenced complaints handling — with tight deadlines, detailed record-keeping, and regulatory reporting. Ruleguard's AI agents manage complaints from intake through resolution, keeping every interaction tracked and every deadline visible.
Complaints Management
TRUSTED BY LEADING FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
The Challenge

Complaints handling shouldn't consume disproportionate resources

Every complaint must be acknowledged promptly, investigated impartially, and resolved within eight weeks. Records must be maintained for six years. Data must be reported to the regulator. And every complaint is a signal that your products, services, or processes may need attention.

The Solution

A smarter way to manage complaints end-to-end

Ruleguard replaces fragmented complaint tracking with a single, agent-driven workflow — from intake and categorisation through investigation and resolution. Every complaint is logged against configurable templates, routed to the right people, and tracked against regulatory deadlines. The data you need for root cause analysis and regulatory reporting is captured as you go, not assembled after the fact.

Automated complaint workflows

The full complaint lifecycle — intake, categorisation, investigation, and resolution — runs through configurable workflow stages with automated notifications, deadline tracking, and escalation rules. The right people are involved at every step without manual coordination.

Configurable complaint templates

Log complaints into fully customisable templates that capture exactly the data your firm needs. Intelligent routing sends complaints to appropriate teams based on type, severity, or product line — no more manual triage.

Relationship mapping to controls and risks

Complaints are linked to related controls, risks, rules, and products. When a complaint surfaces a control failure, the connection is documented automatically — making root cause analysis systematic rather than ad-hoc.

MI-powered trend analysis

Powerful analytics surface complaint patterns — by product, adviser, time period, or outcome. Configurable dashboards give compliance and the board the insights needed to address systemic issues before regulators do.
Governance

Human-in-the-loop governance

Complaint resolution requires empathy, judgement, and regulatory awareness that only your team can provide. Ruleguard handles the process around those decisions:

Full Review

Every complaint response reviewed by a senior complaint handler before it's sent. The right approach for complex complaints or those with FOS escalation risk.

Exception-based

Routine complaints follow standard workflows automatically; only those exceeding value thresholds, approaching deadlines, or flagged as systemic are escalated.

Autonomous

Intake logging, acknowledgement generation, deadline tracking, and regulatory data compilation handled without manual intervention.
Learn More
Your complaint handlers focus on investigation and resolution. The platform handles everything else.
Traceability

Complete audit trail

Every complaint — from first acknowledgement through investigation steps to final resolution — is logged with full timestamps, responsible parties, and supporting evidence. Six years of records, maintained automatically, ready for regulatory review or FOS referral at any time.
