2.5x

reduction in employee manual effort

A multinational aerospace and defense company was looking to overhaul the manual inefficiencies in their lean core business processes for their Military Air and Information divisions. They began with a pilot project for the Spares Order Process Automation before a project to replace legacy business systems.

As part of the business transformation project, Bizagi enabled legacy applications to pass and receive information from the ERP system to over 150 interfaces. This enhances the functionality of the system, providing an authorization layer, and eliminating manual tasks so individuals can spend more time applying their knowledge and adding value to the business. The new way of working will give them the flexibility to adapt as external regulatory requirements change.

We can’t make planes without Bizagi."
