Search & Locate

The Customer

UK Government Agency

A dedicated team within the UK Public Sector, specializing in the identification, prevention, and prosecution of financial fraud.

The Challenge

Financial fraud investigations often start with large volumes of seized or subpoenaed documents. Analyzing this vast amount of data to identify key connections and relevant information is a time-consuming, labor-intensive process prone to human error.

Investigators frequently search for a needle in a haystack—a single critical document or data point buried among millions of artifacts. Existing methods require significant manpower and time, increasing the risk of delays and missed opportunities in investigations.

The Solution

Oscar Search & Locate streamlines investigations by enabling investigators to upload vast quantities of documentation effortlessly via API integration or a drag-and-drop interface.

Oscar then:

  • Automatically converts documents into digital text for easy searchability.
  • Identifies documents containing critical data by matching predefined formats, including:
    • UK Post Codes
    • Telephone Numbers
    • National Insurance Numbers
    • NHS Numbers
    • And many more
  • Provides advanced search functionality for key phrases or words, highlighting relevant documents.
  • Generates confidence scores, ranking documents based on relevance and likelihood of containing crucial data.

The Outcome

With Oscar Search & Locate, expert investigators significantly reduce the time required to identify key documents, allowing them to accelerate case progress and enhance accuracy.
