Northstar payout orchestration
Challenge
Partner onboarding varied by corridor, payout status arrived in different formats, and operations teams manually followed up when a transfer moved between providers.
Approach
Mapped partner readiness and payout states, established a versioned orchestration boundary, and designed consistent exception handling with clear operational ownership.
Systems connected
Customer onboarding, internal payment service, two payout providers, ledger events, sanctions-screening workflow and operations CRM.
Delivery scope
- Partner integration adapter patterns
- Idempotent payout and status flows
- Operational queue and release checks
Outcome
Fewer manual handoffs during onboarding and a clearer audit trail from payout instruction to exception resolution. No regulatory approval or settlement result was promised.
Timeline
Weeks 1–3: discovery and contract design. Weeks 4–10: adapters and workflow delivery. Weeks 11–14: partner testing, operational rehearsal and handover.
