With an annual processing volume of over 80,000 checks, Thirtyone:eight needed a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective solution to manage their screening processes. This case study explores how Matrix Security Watchdog enhanced their operational efficiency and workforce management using the eBulkPlus Digital Screening platform to address their unique challenges.
