METYCLE sign with Detected to ensure compliance in metal recycling & best-in-class customer onboarding

2nd January 2024. METYCLE have signed with Detected to further develop their business onboarding processes. METYCLE’s current manual processes needed to evolve as the company continues to grow in size and geographical coverage. Detected will provide a streamlined and automated process that will improve customer onboarding experience and compliance review efficiency.

METYCLE is tapping into the more than US$600 billion global market for secondary post-consumer metals. Through its online B2B marketplace that connects buyers and sellers of scrap metal internationally they enable the seamless flow of recycled material to accelerate the global circular flow of secondary metals and to enable reductions in CO2 of more than 60% compared to primary metal production.

Over the last six months METYCLE has seen rapid growth as they continue to expand their offering. Ensuring that their merchants are compliant with industry standards was a manual task involving various inputs and data sources which was becoming increasingly difficult as their activities scaled and volumes grew. METYCLE were in need of a more efficient and automated process that allowed for a business to be verified and then additional information be collected once preliminary checks had been completed. The functionality to integrate into existing systems and for multiple configurations based on different onboarding requirements were also key features as they would provide long-term benefit and scalability.

Detected provided a solution that checked these boxes. A two-step process can be set up that first allows the merchant to be verified and then upload necessary documents and licences to complete onboarding. Detected’s modular onboarding flow allows for this flexibility, while the Case Management System will act as the short-term environment for the compliance review before an integration to METYCLE’s CRM has been completed. By signing with Detected, METYCLE also benefits from access to the Risk, Fraud and Compliance Ecosystem that automatically populates each business profile with the best data available. 

METYCLE’s customers will now benefit from frictionless onboarding. They will enter into a streamlined experience with their company details pre-populated and will only be requested information specific to their application. By tracking key metrics including onboarding time and customer churn which is generated from Detected’s behavioural analytics these processes will constantly be refined and improved.
