Project Overview
Iqra Technology deployed a Nintex-powered Customer Creation Request workflow on SharePoint Online. Sales and relationship teams submit new customer requests through a structured Nintex Form, which triggers a sequential approval workflow covering compliance KYC checks, credit assessment, and finance approval — before the validated record is pushed to the ERP system.
Client Requirements
Replace manual ERP data entry with a governed digital request process.
Capture all required customer master data fields at the point of request.
Route requests through compliance, credit, and finance approval stages.
Enforce KYC document upload before compliance approval can proceed.
Prevent duplicate customer creation via ERP record checks.
Maintain full audit trail of all request activity in SharePoint.
Integrate with ERP to auto-populate approved customer records.
Generate daily summary reports for finance and compliance managers.
Problem 1Any staff member with ERP access could create new customer records without approval or data validation — resulting in duplicate records, incomplete profiles, and non-compliant onboarding.
SolutionBuilt a Nintex Form as the sole intake channel for new customer creation. ERP direct entry access was restricted to the finance team, who only create records after the Nintex workflow produces a fully approved and validated request.
Problem 2KYC and compliance due diligence was inconsistently performed — some customers were onboarded without required documentation, creating regulatory exposure.
SolutionAdded a mandatory document upload gate in the Nintex workflow. KYC documents must be attached before the compliance stage can proceed. The workflow blocks progression and notifies the requester if attachments are missing.
Problem 3There was no duplicate detection — the same customer was often created multiple times in the ERP under slightly different names, causing reconciliation and payment allocation errors.
SolutionImplemented a real-time ERP lookup step in the Nintex workflow that checks for existing customers matching the submitted name, tax ID, or registration number — flagging potential duplicates for the finance team to resolve before final approval.
Document gate enforced for every new customer onboarded.
