Challenges
-
Outdated User Interface
The legacy system was not user-friendly, making it difficult for staff to navigate efficiently, leading to delays and inconsistent usage across departments.
-
Manual Request Handling
Expense approvals to IT help desk requests everything was done through manual email messages or disconnected forms which resulted in delayed approvals along with other tracking issues.
-
Scattered Systems
The legacy system lacked a unified platform for handling requests. Instead, different processes were used across departments, leading to confusion, inefficiencies, and difficulties in tracking progress.
-
Lack of Reporting
Without a proper reporting system, tracking request statuses, analyzing trends, and measuring turnaround times was challenging, making it harder for teams to improve efficiency and sales.
-
Limited Attachment Support
Users struggled to attach documents to their requests, making it difficult to track related files or provide necessary supporting documentation.
Solutions
To address these challenges, we developed and implemented a centralized SharePoint-based solution, replacing the client’s outdated PHP system. Our solution was built with security, scalability, and user-friendliness in mind—streamlining internal workflows, enhancing visibility, and enabling more informed decision-making across departments.
The new system introduced a modern, intuitive interface that consolidated all major internal request forms into a single, easy-to-access platform. Each form was customized to align with specific business requirements, including Expense Requests, Travel Requests, Credit Memos, Payment Requests, Purchase Orders, Bill & Hold Requests, and Help Desk submissions.
With a unified dashboard, employees can now submit requests online, attach necessary files, and track approval statuses in real time. Additionally, built-in reporting capabilities provide teams with actionable insights, improving oversight, optimizing processes, and allowing smarter business planning.
Result
Our SharePoint-based solution transformed the way the client managed internal requests, eliminating delays and enhancing overall productivity. By centralizing request management, we streamlined workflows, reduced processing times, and minimized manual errors. Employees now have real-time visibility into approvals and status tracking, ensuring smoother operations and faster decision-making.
With built-in reporting and structured workflows, teams can easily access the data they need to make informed decisions, improving accountability and efficiency. The solution not only optimized internal processes but also fostered better collaboration across departments, creating a more organized and seamless request management system.
