Key Challenges

The existing system was receiving multiple change requests by its users as the order of steps in a workflow differed from customer to customer.
Additionally, the system was not flexible enough to accommodate new functionalities without developer intervention. This was affecting the entire lifecycle and limiting the client’s ability to scale their system.
They needed a user-friendly platform with intuitive features such as easy-to-use buttons and workflows, visual cues and prompts, helping its users to easily navigate and use the system.
