Designer

Why use it?

Winshuttle Designer™ allows non-technical users to securely create forms-driven processes on top of an SAP deployment. Companies can simultaneously improve business efficiencies and increase their competitive edge while enhancing the SAP end-user experience.

Users can create forms that suppliers, customers, and partners can use, inside or outside of an organization. Because Designer requires no technical knowledge of SAP, companies can avoid the typical overhead costs associated with programming and development.

What can it do?

Designer allow business users to create secure web-based forms to be used as a front-end for SAP processes. Users can easily automate form-driven business processes, such as maintenance requests, purchase requests, expense reimbursement requests and internal requisitions.

Whether someone needs to use a form at their desk or in the field, Designer supports data input and submission from a variety of endpoints. Additionally, built-in data validation ensures the completeness and integrity of the SAP data.

How does it work?

Designer connects the structured transactional data stored within SAP and the unstructured, document-based information and processes that reside within web-based forms, content management systems, and portals. This direct interaction enables companies to reduce operational costs and increase business process agility via automation and increased data accuracy.

Winshuttle Central™ is required to store and govern the forms that users create with Designer. Winshuttle Server™ Designer Services is also needed to enable the use of web services to publish and execute online forms.
