About Dispatch
The financial advisory industry is a $80T market in the US, but has seen little technological innovation compared to the self-service market (Robinhood, Betterment, Wealthfront, SoFi). Client data management is a universally painful and expensive problem for financial advisors. Today, advisors manually collect, update, utilize client data across the 7-10 software tools that they use to run their business. Data transcription and translation across systems is time-consuming and error-prone, leading to costly inefficiencies and embarrassing client-facing problems. Managing data access control, audit logs, and compliance is a constant challenge, particularly in larger organizations.
Dispatch helps financial advisors manage their client data. We are wealth tech's first data orchestration company - we collect, sync and maintain data across the advisory tech stack. Our platform orchestrates complex data workflows like automated onboarding, account opening and data syncing. We give advisors the power of an integrated tech stack with the choice to use whatever tools are best to run their business. We're an experienced team of start-up operators with deep roots in both tech and advisory. You can learn more about us on our website.
