Smart Finance - Mongolia

The finance industry has been using an early version of the Internet of Things in the form of automated teller machines (ATMs) for decades, but the applications have since been increasing. Point of sale (POS) have been connected to the internet protocol (IP) for a while, and mobile POS devices are widespread and available virtually everywhere.

Utilizing IoT technologies for risk management has been on the rise as financial institutions and insurance companies can make more informed decisions based on the data collected via the IoT devices. With the rise of transactions being performed via connected devices, the provided data gives a better insight into how the customers buy and spend their money. The demand is being fueled by the need for faster and real-time data that the devices are constantly collecting, which results in more personalized customer experience.

With the development of edge computing, analyzing and monitoring large amounts of business operations data makes cost and performance decision-making a faster process. Companies can gain big advantage with this by setting up predictive and prescriptive analytics which have possibility to result in both time and cost savings.
