Multiple OTP providers with uneven performance

Manual controls for high-risk verification journeys

Security and product teams operating different tools

Solution

Consolidated OTP traffic under one verification API

Risk-tier policies for retry windows and channel fallback

Operational dashboards and alerts for delivery anomalies

Results

Lowered OTP drop-off by 31%

Reduced incident response time by 24%
