Decathlon – investment request application
This application provides a centralized and intuitive platform for managing investment requests within a company. The application allows for a structured and configurable approval flow, so that each investment request is evaluated and approved in accordance with the procedures and financial thresholds specific to each store or business unit.

REQUEST
The Decathlon team told us that they wanted the investment application process to be much simpler and more streamlined so that when applying for such a procedure, everything could be done much more efficiently and quickly. In other words, a valid method was needed, through which, whether it was pens or larger and very expensive machines, they could create and submit investment applications as simply as possible.
SERVICES
The solution proposed to Decathlon was the development of an application for validating investment requests.
The application is designed to provide a transparent and efficient approval flow, ensuring that each investment request is approved based on the rules and thresholds established by the company. With an intuitive interface and flexible configuration options, this is the ideal solution for optimizing the decision-making process and managing investment resources.

Main functionalities:
Purpose: Each store is configured separately, and the investment request submitted on a store will go through the set flow.
- User Management: The application includes a complete module dedicated to user management, which allows adding, viewing and editing users. The administration can set rights and assign each user a store for initiating or censoring investment requests. The password reset functionality and account management provide a flexible solution for managing access.
- Store and validation flow management: Users with the administrator role have access to an advanced module for managing stores and approval flows. In this module, approval flows can be added and configured, with each store having the ability to set specific financial thresholds and censors. These validation flows include multiple censoring steps, such as censor thresholds at different levels.
- Configurable censoring flows: The application allows the definition of various types of censoring flows, such as: censor 1, censor 2, financial thresholds, etc., all of which can be configured according to the needs of the organization. For each store, a predefined validation flow can be selected, and censors are assigned based on request types and thresholds.
- Initiate and manage requests: Users with the initiator role can generate investment requests, adding the required products and obtaining a total investment. The total in lei is checked against the financial thresholds defined for the respective store. After generating the request, it is automatically sent by email to the first censor, and the request goes through the defined approval flow until completion.
- Request monitoring: Censors have access to all requests in the process of approval, as well as to those completed. They can approve or reject requests based on their status and view full details about each request. Initiators have access to all submitted requests and their status, allowing them to track their progress and related decisions.
Therefore, we created an online application that offers the possibility of setting the user role and their associated rights, so that the verification and validation of requests is much easier to achieve.
