Scaling Sourcing Automation: From 12 Weeks to 1 Day
Hitting the Scalability Wall
Sourcing Automation 1.0 faced a critical business bottleneck: it operated as a manual service rather than a scalable product. Every new customer required engineering intervention to hard-code workflows, creating a 12-week onboarding cycle. This technical debt stalled growth. The business needed to pivot from a high-touch engineering process to a self-service SaaS model to unlock enterprise adoption.




Transforming Complex Logic into a Simple Interface
Mapping the existing user journey revealed exactly where human intervention was blocking the flow. To resolve this, detailed user flows were created to define a self-service "Bot Creation" wizard. The primary design challenge was ensuring non-technical users could navigate complex settings without getting overwhelmed. Low-fidelity wireframes were used to visually align stakeholders and run iterative feasibility checks with engineering, ensuring the new design could be built efficiently within 2-week sprints.
A Self-Service Configurator for Enterprise Scale
The core solution was a No-Code Workflow Configurator designed to replace manual engineering work. This interface empowers non-technical users to build complex automation bots by simply configuring logical steps, effectively "democratizing" the technology. To support this, the UI was completely rebuilt using a consistent design system and a new top-level navigation structure. These changes transformed a disjointed set of tools into a cohesive application, increasing user trust and providing clear visibility into the automation process.

From 12 Weeks to 1 Day
By redesigning Sourcing Automation from a manual service into a self-service product, we reduced the customer onboarding cycle from 12 weeks to just 1 day. The new "No-Code" workflow configurator removed critical engineering bottlenecks, empowering major enterprise clients like Nestlé and Coca-Cola to configure and launch their own complex sourcing bots without writing a single line of code.
