Challenges & Solutions
Problem 1Manual procurement processes — from raising requisitions to approving purchase orders — caused frequent delays and errors, with staff relying heavily on email and manual data entry to move requests forward.
SolutionAutomated end-to-end procurement workflows using Mendix microflows, removing dependency on manual operations and ensuring every requisition moves through the system consistently.
Problem 2Each organization within the group followed its own complex and varying approval hierarchy, making it difficult to enforce consistent rules through a single, hard-coded workflow.
SolutionImplemented dynamic, data-driven multi-level approval logic that is configurable per organization, allowing each entity's policies to be applied without separate custom builds.
Problem 3Stakeholders had limited visibility into where procurement requests stood at any given time, making it hard to track status, spot bottlenecks, or report on activity across the group.
SolutionDesigned role-based dashboards and reports on Mendix that provide real-time procurement status, giving every stakeholder the visibility relevant to their role.
