Multilayerd Review and Approval System
We developed this application to address requirements from customers, in highly regulated industry, where a complex process of approvals and signatures from more than dozen departments needed before a manufacturing order can hit the floor or get processed in an ERP/manufacturing system. Prior to this solution, customers were using manual file system travelling from desk to desk.
Serious bottlenecks existed due to resources availibility, inefficient communication, required documents availibility, departmental queries and resolutions, and finally tracking of file itself. Manufacturing orders were getting delayed and customers were getting to verge of losing business due to inefficiencies.
