Price Increase Digital Transformation for a National Consumer Protection Authority

How Iqra Technology digitally transformed the price increase review and approval process for Oman's national Consumer Protection Authority using Joget DX — replacing paper-based processes with a transparent, governed digital workflow.

Client Overview

The Consumer Protection Authority (CPA) of Oman is the national regulatory body responsible for overseeing pricing practices and protecting consumers across the Sultanate. One of its core mandates involves reviewing and approving price increase applications submitted by businesses operating in regulated sectors.

Prior to this engagement, businesses submitted price increase requests through physical paperwork, which were then manually reviewed, routed between departments, and tracked via email and spreadsheets — opaque for businesses with no visibility into submission status.

Iqra Technology was engaged to digitally transform this regulatory process using Joget DX, building a structured digital submission and review platform providing full transparency for businesses, enforced review processes for CPA officers, and complete management visibility for leadership.

Project Overview

The project built a fully digital price increase submission and regulatory review platform on Joget DX. Businesses submit applications through a structured online form, automatically validated and routed to the appropriate CPA review team, moving through defined stages — technical assessment, economic analysis, and senior authorization.

The solution eliminated paper-based submission, standardized the review process across all business sectors, and gave CPA leadership a real-time dashboard showing submission volumes, review progress, decision outcomes, and officer performance metrics.

Client Requirements

  • Build a digital portal for businesses to submit price increase applications online.
  • Automate routing of submissions to the correct CPA review department based on business sector.
  • Enforce a structured multi-stage review process with defined criteria at each step.
  • Provide businesses with real-time status updates on their submitted applications.
  • Generate automated notifications to CPA reviewers at each workflow stage.
  • Implement SLA tracking and escalation for applications exceeding review timelines.
  • Maintain a complete audit trail of all review actions, decisions, and officer notes.
  • Provide a management dashboard with submission volumes, decision outcomes, and performance metrics.

Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1Businesses had no digital channel to submit price increase applications and no visibility into their status after submission — leading to high volumes of status inquiry calls to CPA staff and reducing public trust in the process.
SolutionBuilt a business-facing digital submission portal on Joget DX where companies submit structured applications online. Businesses receive immediate acknowledgement with a reference number and automated status updates at every review milestone — eliminating status inquiry calls entirely.
Problem 2Price increase applications were reviewed inconsistently — different officers applied different criteria and timelines, creating unequal treatment of applicants and increasing the risk of legally challengeable regulatory decisions.
SolutionImplemented standardized review forms and structured decision criteria within the Joget workflow, ensuring all CPA officers review applications against the same documented framework. Each decision stage requires officers to complete defined fields before the application can progress.
Problem 3CPA leadership had no real-time visibility into application volumes, review bottlenecks, or officer performance — making it impossible to allocate resources effectively or report accurate regulatory performance data to government stakeholders.
SolutionDeveloped a live management reporting dashboard in Joget showing real-time submission intake, applications by status and sector, average review timelines, officer workload distribution, and overdue application alerts.
