The challenge

Every purchase and production decision waited in someone's inbox, with no escalation and no audit trail.

An industrial supplier where growth was capped by how fast humans could push approvals through email.

The starting point

How the work actually ran — and what it cost

Current state
  • Excel spreadsheets
  • WhatsApp messages
  • Email threads
  • Manual approvals
  • Scattered information
  • Delayed decisions
The impact
  • Approvals stalled with no escalation
  • No record of who approved what, when
  • Bottlenecks invisible to management
What needed to change
