How Hajj Mabrur Ventures Limited Transformed Pilgrim Verification with Veriglobe

Company Overview

Hajj Mabrur Ventures Limited is an 18-year-old company specializing in organizing and facilitating Hajj pilgrimages for Muslims across Africa. With a strong reputation for reliability and service excellence, they have helped thousands of pilgrims fulfill their religious obligations.

As part of their digital transformation initiative, Hajj Mabrur Ventures developed the Pay Hajj app, a comprehensive platform designed to streamline the entire pilgrimage process - from registration and payment to travel arrangements and on-ground support.

The Challenge

As Hajj Mabrur Ventures Limited embarked on their digital transformation journey with the Pay Hajj app, they faced several critical challenges:

• Stringent Verification Requirements: Hajj pilgrimages require extensive identity verification to comply with both local regulations and Saudi Arabian visa requirements.
• Complex Manual Processes: Their existing verification system involved manual document checks, in-person visits, and paper-based record keeping, creating bottlenecks and delays.
• High Operational Costs: The manual verification process was labor-intensive and expensive, requiring dedicated staff and physical infrastructure.
• Security Concerns: With increasing instances of identity fraud, ensuring the authenticity of pilgrims' identities became paramount.
• User Experience Issues: The cumbersome verification process created friction in the customer journey, leading to frustration and potential customer loss.

The company needed a robust, digital KYC solution that could seamlessly integrate with their new Pay Hajj app while meeting the strict verification standards required for Hajj pilgrimage.
