This project kick-started the company’s digital transformation, positioning OutSystems as the core platform and default frontend for all new customer, employee, supplier, and tenant apps – delivering a consistent, modern, and scalable digital experience across the business.

About the organisation

Our customer is a leading Australian commercial property company that owns and actively manages a diverse $34+ billion portfolio of Australian real estate assets, including high-quality retail, offices, logistics and student accommodation.

The challenge

The company’s legacy system for creating and processing purchase orders was developed on SAP Screen Personas, which was soon to be unsupported. The application was clunky, had performance issues and would only work on Internet Explorer. Remote access required a VPN, adding further friction. These limitations slowed critical supply management tasks – from onboarding new suppliers to tracking orders – impacting efficiency across the business. The company needed a modern solution that would speed up, integrate, and streamline their processes to increase employee productivity.

The solution

PhoenixDX conducted extensive user experience research to guide the design of the new application, ensuring every opportunity to optimise supply chain management was captured. Built using OutSystems, the solution transformed supplier management, purchase order processing, service receipting, and invoice tracking – dramatically enhancing both usability and productivity. With advanced search capabilities, personalised views through customisable display columns, and a streamlined workspace for quick access to routine tasks, the application delivers a modern, efficient, and intuitive user experience that allows employees to be more productive.
