This is concept work: a self-initiated design and engineering study by Hectagon, not a client engagement. It shows how we would approach the problem; it makes no claims about real-world results.
01Overview
CloudSync is a self-initiated concept exploring how a company with several branches could run requests, approvals and shared documents on one platform.
02Challenge
Approvals travel by email and paper between branches, and nobody can see where a request is stuck.
03Approach
We mapped a typical purchase approval end to end and designed the platform around making every step visible.
04Solution
An operations dashboard with an approval queue, activity feed and branch sync status.
Configurable approval chains
Documents attached to every request
Branch status and sync at a glance
05Outcome
The workflow patterns from this concept now inform our custom ERP work.
06Key features
01
Approval chains
Multi-step approvals by amount and department.
02

See every action across branches.
03
