Key features:
Monitor licence renewal dates automatically and flag advisers at risk of lapse
Send customized renewal reminders on schedule without manual drafting
Log CE credit submissions and verify compliance against regulatory requirements automatically
Generate audit and compliance reports in minutes instead of hours
Track all adviser credentials in a single source of truth with real-time visibility

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Monitor Licence & CE Datestrigger

The automation platform checks the master spreadsheet daily for advisers with licence renewals due within 60 days or CE credits due within 30 days.

2. Identify At-Risk Advisers

An intelligent reviews the spreadsheet data and identifies advisers whose licences or CE credits are approaching expiry, flagging those needing immediate action.

3. Send Automated Renewal Reminder

A personalised email is sent automatically to each adviser with an upcoming renewal, including their specific deadline, required documents, and a link to submit evidence.

4. Log CE Submission Form

When an adviser submits CE completion evidence through an automated form, the submission is logged directly and linked to the adviser's record.

5. Update Spreadsheet with CE Data

The automation platform automatically updates the master spreadsheet with new CE credit hours, completion dates, and recalculates the next renewal date.

6. Generate Compliance Alert

A notification is sent to the compliance team summarising the day's updates, any advisers now at risk, and upcoming deadlines for the next 14 days.

7. Prepare Audit Report

On a weekly schedule, the automation generates a formatted compliance report from the spreadsheet and stores it in a shared folder, ready for audits or management review.
