Case Study: Sadia unifies innovation partner intake and internal policy governance with Agence

Sadia unifica inovação e governança com Agence em 2 projetos

The food processing company Sadia faced the dual challenge of needing a structured channel to capture external R&D partners for open innovation while also ensuring internal governance by effectively disseminating corporate policies to its employees. To address this, they partnered with the vendor Agence to develop two tailored web platforms.

Agence implemented two distinct solutions: an external-facing innovation portal built with PHP, CodeIgniter, and MySQL to manage the submission and approval workflow for partner proposals, and an internal policy site built with HTML and JavaScript for employees to access updated regulations. The key to both projects was Agence's extensive strategic consulting phase, which ensured the solutions were perfectly aligned with Sadia's business goals before any coding began. This approach of deep business understanding first resulted in a successful long-term partnership, centralizing previously dispersed processes and reducing infrastructure costs by eliminating the need for per-machine software licenses.
