A global management consulting firm accelerates its internal processes using a custom mobile ESS application developed by Maventic

About Client

The client is a global management consulting and technology firm focused on transforming healthcare worldwide. They leverage leading-edge analytics, plus the power of data, science and products to help their customers make more intelligent decisions. They have 12,000+ employees in 35 offices worldwide.

Business Scenario

Before partnering with Maventic, the client relied on an SAP portal-based ESS platform that could only be accessed by ZS employees from their office laptops.

Challenges

This standalone platform presented the following challenges:

  • Lacked a user-friendly interface
  • Lacked mobile functionality 
  • Delayed verification of requests due to the absence of mobile notifications

Solution

The client decided that the best course of action was to develop a custom ESS application for mobile devices, along with a revamped one-stop platform extension for laptop/desktop devices.After evaluating a few SAP mobile development partners, they selected Maventic’s proposal to develop this mobile application for the App Store and Play Store for broader adoption within the organization. Key workflows of the application included the ability to log time entries and share approvals and start/stop timers for easy logging of multiple projects.
The technologies utilized for this project were OData, SAPUI5 and SAP ABAP.

Benefits

With the custom ESS mobile application, the client can now:

  • Significantly cut down on the lag between timesheet submissions and approvals so that billers can raise invoices on time.
  • Enable mobile notifications for requesters, approvers and billers to reduce time spent accessing the ESS portal on laptops/desktops.
  • Process faster approvals for POs, invoices and other expenses.

Additionally, the revamped ESS portal on laptops/desktops features a more user-friendly interface and enables the easy logging of timesheets without having to remember t-codes.
