Parcha builds enterprise-grade AI Agents that transform how banks and fintech companies handle compliance and operations workflows. Their innovative platform tackles one of the most pressing challenges in the financial sector: the time-consuming nature of regulatory compliance.

"Using AI, we enable banks and fintechs to onboard more customers faster while remaining compliant."

- Miguel Rios Berrios, CTO, Parcha

By automating manual processes like customer onboarding and due diligence, they help financial institutions scale efficiently while maintaining strict compliance standards. This automation represents a significant shift from traditional manual review processes that often create bottlenecks in customer acquisition and risk assessment.

The Pain of Browser Automation at Scale

For Parcha's small engineering team, managing browser automation infrastructure was a significant challenge that threatened to derail their core mission of building powerful AI solutions. The complexity of maintaining reliable browser automation at scale became a major pain point that consumed valuable development resources and slowed down their ability to innovate.

"The problem we were trying to solve was 'How can we do browser automation at scale?' Individually it seems simple, like going through a website and scraping it. But we needed more complex scenarios of automating flows to gather information or perform actions."

Before Browserbase, Parcha struggled with technical and operational challenges such as:

  • Managing homegrown Python code and Playwright implementations that required constant maintenance and updates

  • Running their own browser infrastructure, which proved to be both costly and time-consuming

  • Diverting engineering resources from core AI development, limiting their ability to enhance their primary product offerings

  • Scaling automation reliably for complex workflows while maintaining performance and stability

Turning Engineering Hours into Development Minutes

Browserbase transformed how Parcha's engineering team operates by providing a robust, scalable solution that eliminated their infrastructure headaches.

This transformation allowed them to redirect their focus to developing and improving their core AI capabilities, resulting in better outcomes for their financial institution clients.

"We're a very small team, we only have four engineers. So every time that I don't need to maintain my own pool of browsers and playwright… it's time that we can spend doing AI stuff, which is what we want to do."

The impact was immediate and significant across several key areas:

Lightning-Fast Analysis The implementation of browser pooling dramatically accelerated their ability to gather and process business information, transforming what was previously a lengthy manual process into an almost instantaneous operation.

"Since we're using browser pooling, for example, we can run all our browsers at once… In like 10 seconds I have a very comprehensive view of the entire business that would have taken close to an hour for a human to do."

Comprehensive Due Diligence The enhanced automation capabilities enabled Parcha to perform thorough due diligence at unprecedented speeds, maintaining the depth of analysis while dramatically reducing the time required.

"We're able to construct a very complex profile of a business just with their website in less than three or four minutes, which normally would take hours."

Unified Automation Platform By consolidating their automation needs into a single platform, Parcha eliminated the complexity of managing multiple tools and systems, creating a more streamlined and efficient operation.

"I think the most important thing with Browserbase is just consolidating all into one. It's typically more reliable, and since we have the browser automation piece, we can do more complex things that we could not do before."

Responsive Support Drives Continuous Innovation

The partnership with Browserbase extends beyond just technology, encompassing a collaborative relationship that ensures Parcha's needs are met and their feedback is quickly incorporated into product improvements. This responsive approach to customer support has been crucial in helping Parcha maintain their competitive edge in the fast-moving fintech space.

"What I love about you guys… like hey, this is not working well. And then someone gets on the call and helps us fix it. A couple of weeks later, we're like, hey, we have browser pooling—exactly what we needed on our side."

A Platform That Evolves With Customer Needs

Parcha's experience with Browserbase demonstrates the value of a technology partner that prioritizes continuous improvement and customer feedback. The platform's constant evolution ensures that it stays ahead of emerging challenges and requirements in the financial compliance sector.

"The offering is great, but it's just the fact that it keeps getting better with rapid iteration based on feedback. Definitely would recommend it, particularly for how responsive and proactive you guys are."

By implementing Browserbase, Parcha has revolutionized the due diligence process for financial institutions. Their solution has fundamentally changed how banks and fintechs approach compliance and customer onboarding. What once took hours of manual review can now be completed in minutes, enabling their clients to scale operations while maintaining compliance standards. This transformation has positioned Parcha at the forefront of automated compliance solutions, helping financial institutions navigate the complex landscape of regulatory requirements with greater efficiency and confidence.
