AML Partners
A compliance platform live for a start date set by legislation.
Vectorise took ownership of FlowAML mid build and had it in production sixteen days after handover, ahead of a go-live date fixed by legislation.
Australian owned. Forward deployed engineers based in Australia.
- The problem
- A compliance platform built by another team had to be live for a start date written into legislation.
- The work
- A two-engineer Vectorise team took ownership of the frontend and backend mid build, rebuilt the environments and wrapped the platform in an automated test suite.
- The outcome
- FlowAML in production sixteen days after handover, ahead of a go-live date fixed by legislation, and still shipping daily after it.

- From the Sunday Vectorise took ownership to production unlocked, ahead of a start date set by parliament.
One unresolved customer, cleared
A crowd crossing a plaza, drawn as wireframe. The one figure who could not be resolved is cleared through identity, sanctions, PEP, adverse media and source of funds checks.
The picture illustrates the checks the platform carries. It is a drawing, not a real customer.
The challenge.
A regulated launch timed to the day enforcement began.
- A statutory deadline
- With harsh financial penalties if the platform could not operate. Australia brought property transactions inside its anti-money-laundering regime, and the commencement date was written into legislation. FlowAML’s customers would be regulated from day one. The platform had to be live, correct and ready to carry them.
- A handover in flight
- A tangled codebase that had to be overhauled. Vectorise took ownership of a frontend and a backend built by another team while the product kept moving. Every line of both codebases, every environment and the release pipeline became Vectorise’s to run, seventeen days before the legislated date.
- Proof before launch
- A launch case built on evidence. A platform that clears people to transact property has to be provably correct. Everything the law asks of it had to be demonstrated to work before go-live, and demonstrated again on every change after.
What Vectorise did.
A two-engineer Vectorise team took the platform from handover to a regulated production launch, and kept shipping daily after it.
16 days
from handover to productionTook it live.
Vectorise took the handover on a Sunday and unlocked production sixteen days later, ahead of a go-live date fixed by legislation. Environments were rebuilt, launch capacity was provisioned with headroom to spare, and the release pipeline moved to continuous deployment guarded by automated gates. 1,569 commits landed in five weeks, with a 29 day unbroken daily shipping streak.88
screens across three user armsDelivered the full product.
Identity verification, screening, source-of-funds reviews, risk assessment, casework, regulatory reporting, staff training and billing: one platform carries the entire obligation for compliance teams, their clients and the customers being verified. Every action is audit-trailed and every organisation is isolated at the architecture level.97%
backend line coverage, up from 25%Took the risk out of launch.
Vectorise wrapped the platform in an outside-in test suite of 5,900+ automated tests that exercises it the way production does, end to end, on ephemeral environments. Backend coverage climbed from a quarter to ninety-seven percent in under three weeks, and the floor is enforced in CI, ratcheting upward only. Coverage measures which code the tests execute. It is not a guarantee of correctness, security or production reliability. The suite surfaced launch blockers no manual pass had found, and they were fixed before customers ever saw them.
