Built‑in document management stores K‑YC forms, investment policy statements and regulatory filings, all searchable by client name or asset class. Automated alerts flag upcoming compliance deadlines, such as FATCA or MiFID II reporting, reducing manual oversight.
Features tailored to broker‑dealers
Broker‑dealers benefit from the trade‑capture module, which logs execution details, settlement status and commission structures directly into the CRM. The system syncs with order‑management platforms via API, ensuring that sales teams have immediate visibility into deal pipelines and client order histories.
Regulatory reporting tools generate audit‑ready transaction logs and client communication records, satisfying SEC and FINRA requirements without separate spreadsheets.
Integration and data security
IR Cockpit supports bi‑directional integration with major custodians, portfolio‑management systems (e.g., Bloomberg, SimCorp) and email platforms. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and role‑based access controls limit view‑only or edit permissions according to job function.
Single‑sign‑on (SSO) via SAML or OAuth simplifies user management for firms with multiple subsidiaries, while multi‑factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of protection for sensitive client information.
User experience and customization
The interface uses drag‑and‑drop widgets so users can build personalized workspaces—quick‑access panels for top‑tier clients, upcoming meetings, or pending compliance tasks. Custom fields accommodate firm‑specific data points, such as ESG scores or private‑placement eligibility.
Mobile apps replicate the desktop experience, allowing relationship managers to update notes, schedule calls, or approve trade exceptions while on the road.
Pricing and deployment options
EQs Group offers both cloud‑hosted SaaS and on‑premises deployments. SaaS pricing typically follows a per‑user, per‑month model with tiered discounts for larger teams; on‑premises licenses involve a one‑time fee plus annual support.
Implementation timelines range from four weeks for standard SaaS setups to twelve weeks for heavily customized on‑premises installations, depending on data migration complexity and integration scope.
