Before adopting FlowForma Process Automation, the organization faced challenges such as:
Legacy Systems: Many workflows relied on paper-based processes or outdated platforms such as Nintex and InfoPath. These tools were no longer fit for purpose, they offered clunky user interfaces, were difficult to design and maintain, and urgently needed modernization.
Limited Data Visibility: Tracking requests, approvals, and changes required significant manual effort, reducing responsiveness and limiting insights for decision-making.
Inefficient Workload: Manual approvals and repeated data entry consumed valuable time, leaving staff with less time for strategic initiatives.
Morley College adopted FlowForma’s no-code platform to modernize its operations, replace legacy systems, and empower staff to create and refine workflows without developer dependency. FlowForma proved the right solution for the college, offering a modern, cloud-based platform that is intuitive to use, proven, and easy to integrate with existing systems.
As a college, Morley uses a wide range of tools, with the student record system, UNIT-e, being the most relevant integration to FlowForma. The platform interfaces with UNIT-e via SQL and an API, enabling seamless data flow, automation, and accurate reporting.
Key aspects of the new automation solution included:
Streamlined Processes: Automated workflows for curriculum management, room booking, student transfers, course creation, pre-enrolment, staff requests and approvals reduced manual effort and minimized human error.
Customizable and Complex Workflows: Users only see fields and steps relevant to their role, improving usability and reducing mistakes. The platform allowed a high level of customization. The ability to apply Morley College’s branding across the process library and forms gave the platform a slick, modern look that resonated with users, helping to drive adoption alongside its support for complex workflows.
Enhanced Reporting and Audit Trails: Custom views and dashboards provide visibility over process status, approvals, and completion, simplifying compliance and oversight.
User-Friendly for Both Staff and Designers: The system is intuitive and easy to learn for both end-users and process designers, enabling complex workflows to be built without extensive training.
Scalable and Modern Platform: The college wanted a solution that would scale with future needs, support integration with other systems, and demonstrate the “art of the possible” for workflow automation.
The Outcome
By replacing outdated systems with FlowForma Process Automation, Morley College London achieved significant improvements in efficiency, accuracy, and user satisfaction.
