SaaS Dashboard

Risk and payments operations: AI-powered fraud detection workspace.

SaaS Dashboard

Project overview

An AI-powered fraud detection platform that helps payment and risk teams analyze transactions, identify suspicious behavior and make faster decisions. Machine-learning models score transactions in real time, while analysts review the cases that need human oversight.

The Problem

Competitor research highlighted complex interfaces, dense dashboards, scattered workflows and critical information hidden behind multiple levels of navigation. These obstacles slow fraud investigations.

Solution

A streamlined investigation experience focused on daily analyst tasks, with clearer decisions, less cognitive load and centralized workflows.

Competitor Research & User Journey

Research into competing fraud platforms revealed complex configuration, fragmented navigation and unclear access to important information. Mapping an analyst’s journey identified points of friction and opportunities to simplify the investigation process.

Product Information Architecture

The platform is structured around three core areas:

  • Fraud Monitoring — transaction analytics and overview dashboards
  • Orders Workspace — flagged transactions and customer profiles
  • Firewall / Rules Engine — prevention and configuration rules
