A system for several teams sharing one case

In an organization the problem is usually not a lack of software. Reception, handling, and finance each keep a different version of the same person, request, or vendor.

Who it is for

For an organization or institution with more than one department on the same process. A poor fit for a single team that keeps the whole case from open to close.

Problems this page addresses

  • The case moves by email

    No screen says who owns it now. The question comes back at every handoff between departments.

  • Permissions are all or nothing

    Either everyone sees everything, or work stops because only the system admin can open the next step.

  • The old system cannot be switched off

    Nobody wrote down what happens to the working week if it is turned off, so it stays beside every replacement attempt.

What you get

  • An owner for each step

    Who opens, who approves, and who closes is written on the path, not in the email thread.

  • Permission by department and role

    Finance sees a charge without editing the case notes. Handling sees the charge status without changing it.

  • A move that does not stop the week

    A list of what goes live first, what stays on the old system on purpose, and who checks the first week.

Common questions

We already have an enterprise CRM. Why another page?

If every department works in it and there is no parallel copy in email, there is nothing to build. This page matters when the CRM covers one department and the others still pass cases by hand.

Who needs to be on the first call?

Someone from each department that touches the case, not only IT. Without the person who actually closes the step, you cannot see where the case gets stuck.

Do all departments go live together?

No. We go live on one handoff between two departments, for example reception to handling. A third department joins after ownership of that handoff is clear.
