The challenge
Fragmented processes, zero traceability
A leading healthcare and biotech hedge fund needed a structured, auditable way to manage trade recommendations — but every part of the workflow was broken.
No audit trail
Recommendations tracked across email, chat, and spreadsheets — zero visibility into history or status.
No PM visibility
Portfolio managers had no real-time view of what analysts were recommending or where approvals stood.
Manual coordination
Every analyst-to-PM handoff was manual — creating delays, errors, and missed opportunities.
No OMS integration
Zero connection to the trade order management system — every order submitted entirely by hand.
Trade lifecycle
From idea to execution — fully tracked
Every step of the recommendation journey is now captured, timestamped, and logged for a complete audit record.

The solution
What OmniVista built
Delivered incrementally through Agile sprints — four interconnected capabilities that replaced every broken workflow.
01
Analyst recommendation engine
A spreadsheet-like multi-row interface with draft/submit workflow, strategy and fund selection, and full lifecycle tracking — so analysts can work fast without losing structure.
02
PM approval workflow
Approve, reject, or apply conditional decisions with notes. Bulk actions, undo, and auto-generated trade tickets with multi-allocation sizing — so PMs move fast and stay in control.
03
Direct OMS integration
Orders validated and submitted directly to the trade OMS — with retry logic, error handling, and stored order IDs. No manual entry, no dropped trades.
04
Role-based access & SSO
Five-tier RBAC (Analyst → SSL → Trader → PM → Admin) with enterprise SSO, proxy action tracking, and full audit logs — so every action is attributable.
Client perspective
“Before the portal, a PM approval could sit in someone’s inbox for hours. Now the recommendation is in front of the right person the moment it’s submitted — with full context, no back-and-forth.”
