Challenge
WCube was looking for a business process management (BPM) platform that they could customize for their own needs. WCube sells about a million and a half SKUs to customers in varied locations, with numerous vendor and supplier orders. Since their operations run on a just-in-time (JIT) inventory model, the information they pass needs to be seamless across stakeholders.
“When a client orders a cleaning solution, I have about 800 SKUs to select from—our low-code BPM platform helps me identify and decode which of those hundreds of SKUs I need.”
Udit Karan Chandhok, CEO and co-founder of WCube India
What makes Zoho Creator an excellent fit for Agile BPM software?
The openness of the platform allows WCube to utilize API integrations and connect their Creator application with their vendor platform, built on third-party software. The application also integrates with Zoho Books.
WCube’s supply chain module provides ease of use for field employees who pick up material from vendors and during customer deliveries. Seamless data access and data capture have made last-mile adoption quicker for end users who aren’t tech-savvy.
They use Zoho Creator to build and test prototypes efficiently, before implementation and deployment.
Zoho Creator’s enterprise-grade scale and security ensure WCube’s applications are reliable and secure.

Solution
Cube Ops, their internal platform built on Zoho Creator, automates the entire process lifecycle of a customer through their ecosystem.
Within the custom-built BPM software, many modules—such as sales, quotation, inventory management, product category, supply chain, etc.—are handled by their respective departments.
Specifically, they store inventory on Cube Ops, which enables live tracking. This data then links with the inventory the vendor holds. The quotation module g enerates quotations for their customers and generates POs for the vendors.
With Cube Ops, WCube has also streamlined sales management by enabling location tracking from client/customer locations. Apart from the customer details, this helps track various product SKUs sold and captures the entire sales beat of a particular executive. These details also ensure that the reimbursement process is digitized.
With clients ranging from facility management and manufacturing companies to hotels, often having multiple locations, the Cube Ops application helps track the many supply chain deliveries happening on any given day.
The application also aids in decision-making, allowing WCube to choose the best vendors via vendor score cards, look at pricing offered and available products, and then match them to the customer's requirements.
WCube built their Agile BPM software in-house within a month, with Zoho Creator's support as needed. From 5 users initially, the platform is now accessed by about 100 users, and the numbers are steadily increasing.
“In our case, the items need to be checked, either before dispatch, or at quality assessment, or at pick-up or delivery—and all that happens on the platform. So there are multiple apps which look at data, and there are multiple user interfaces which look at data.”
