Challenges & Solutions

Problem 1 Manual supplier onboarding caused delays, data inconsistency, and security concerns across multiple companies. Each entity had its own processes with no standardization or centralized visibility.
Solution Implemented a SharePoint and Nintex-based digital workflow with strict validations, role-based approvals, and secure ERP integration — standardizing supplier onboarding across all 12 entities.
Problem 2 Data privacy and access control was a critical concern — supplier information for one entity should not be visible to users of another entity within the same group.
Solution Designed strict company-wise data segregation within SharePoint with entity-specific permission models, ensuring supplier data and approval workflows are fully isolated per company.
