Overview
When a leading restructuring advisory firm needed to modernize the data infrastructure powering their largest Chapter 11 cases, they turned to Nymbl. Their analysts were spending more time waiting on the low code solution to ingest their data, triaging data validation errors and having to retrigger the same job, rather than doing the case work they were hired for.
Even when data was finally loaded, the analysts were plagued by long queues to then export both excel and PDF files back out of the system for court filings. The required breadth of data required for the Court filings could not be reviewed in the system. Finally, from a user-experience perspective, the existing low code application required that the app be fragmented into way too many pages than were necessary.
Nymbl was engaged to build a full stack application for increased throughput speed, extensibility, and baseline parity with their existing system. The solution had to handle the data volumes and data types characteristic of the largest Chapter 11 cases, not as an edge cases, but as the baseline.
Nymbl designed and delivered a purpose-built pipeline on AWS, engineered from the outset to ingest files from disparate sources, configure validation tables, validate data before anything commits, and give analysts the control and confidence to move fast throughout the case lifecycle without introducing risk. The result replaced years of waiting on the app to deliver with a system built for the scale and compliance demands of enterprise bankruptcy practice.
Nymbl Differentiators:
Custom-coded, not a low-code shortcut. The app is a full ground-up build on AWS — Fargate, SQS, S3, RDS, and Parquet — giving precise control over throughput, validation logic, and scaling that off-the-shelf and low-code platforms simply can't replicate at this workload.
Purpose-built for Chapter 11 scale and variability. The pipeline was designed specifically for the data volumes of the largest bankruptcy cases, with parallel worker architecture that ensures a single 500,000-row file of any type (xlsx, CSV, xlsb) never bottlenecks the system. Generic case management tools aren't engineered for this out of the box.
PDF rendering in App. Nymbl took the initiative to provide analysts with a live preview of their filings, no more waiting on batch exports, external PDF review, or incomplete exports.
Validate-before-commit, not commit-and-fix. Data is staged and validated in memory with errors surfaced at the exact row and column level before anything touches the master tables — keeping bad data out of court filings rather than chasing it down after the fact.
Built by a team that already knew the domain. The app is a deliberate improvement from an existing low-code application, meaning Nymbl carried forward deep institutional knowledge of how bankruptcy workflows actually run — no vendor learning curve, no domain discovery tax.
