The 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.

Another crucial process that was automated was vendor onboarding. The solution was developed in just four days. From statutory data collection to multi-level approvals, automated workflows were set up and deployed for numerous applications in record time using Quixy. These workflows ranged from simple to complex, various bottlenecks and complications associated with traditional data management were eliminated. sequential and parallel according to the requirement. As a result, various bottlenecks and complications associated with traditional data management were eliminated.

HEINEKEN Uses the Cloud to Reach 10.5 Million Consumers
For 2012 campaign, the Bond promotion, it planned to launch the campaign at the same time everywhere on the planet. That created unprecedented challenges for HEINEKEN—nowhere more so than in its technology operation. The primary digital content for the campaign was a 100-megabyte movie that had to play flawlessly for millions of viewers worldwide. After all, Bond never fails. No one was going to tolerate a technology failure that might bruise his brand.Previously, HEINEKEN had supported digital media at its outsourced datacenter. But that datacenter lacked the computing resources HEINEKEN needed, and building them—especially to support peak traffic that would total millions of simultaneous hits—would have been both time-consuming and expensive. Nor would it have provided the geographic reach that HEINEKEN needed to minimize latency worldwide.
