Challenge	Like any other organization, Compass had various interdependent processes between different departments, including finance, procurement, HR, and admin. These processes included vendor onboarding, budget approvals, procurement, and data collection, to name a few. Most processes were based on paper-based forms, e-mails, word documents, and spreadsheets, leading to an enormous lack of visibility over any process. This made information management tedious and complex, as data traceability, governance, and adherence became significant problem areas. As the data was collected and processed through non-structured mechanisms, redundant entries made it difficult to keep a repository of the accurate master data. Multiple and scattered records also meant that meaningful data was getting lost through this mechanism. There was an immediate need to establish standard processes that would ensure transparency and data uniformity throughout the organization, leading to effective data management. After Compass identified these bottlenecks, they decided to adopt Business Process Automation. Wanting to avoid the time and cost disadvantages of traditional development, they decided to go for nocode. They were on the lookout for a platform that provided easy-to-use and effective features like drag and drop designer, workflow configurator, and CRUD application capability. They also wanted the platform to design both simple and complex approval workflows, depending on their need. After careful evaluation, they chose Quixy to be their trusted digital partner as it fulfilled these criteria perfectly. Read More
