Project Description

Xorbix partnered with a global leader in safety, identification, and compliance solutions to transform its complex lock system order entry process. The client’s legacy workflow required extensive CSR involvement, lengthy entry times, and manual coordination with external systems.

Leveraging Xorbix’s expertise in custom enterprise web development and system integrations, the team developed a modern Lock System Web Application that simplified order creation, integrated seamlessly with SAP, and laid the groundwork for future self-service capabilities; making the process faster, more intuitive, and highly scalable.

Challenge

Problem

1. The existing order entry process was slow and inefficient, taking hours per order.

2. The legacy system required extensive CSR training due to its complexity.

3. End customers couldn’t place orders independently, relying entirely on CSRs.

4. Lack of a centralized digital framework made data handling cumbersome.

5. The system lacked real-time synchronization with SAP and other external tools.

 

6. Performance issues and bugs hindered reliability and productivity.
