Business Challenge

Our client wanted to have a platform for submitting the initiatives across the organization. Managing them was a huge challenge for the business. On one side, the business has to promote and encourage people to submit more initiatives and on other side, all the submissions and their approvals & implementations have to be managed. It was a tedious task to manually handle the process. The business wanted a complete solution having all the processes involved and also to have complete data management and maximum employee engagement. Since the ideas involved various units, equipment and running processes, the approval process and implementation process was also complex. There has to be multiple users involved and timelines should be planned to implement any initiative. Managing every possible requirement was again a challenge for the business.
