Case Study: Ferring Pharmaceuticals achieves 85% faster travel approvals and eliminates delays with Nintex

Pharmaceutical Firm Eliminates Paper-Based Bottlenecks to Get Employee Travelers Moving

Ferring Pharmaceuticals, a Switzerland-based biopharmaceutical company with a presence in 60 countries, faced persistent delays and backlogs from a paper‑based travel approval process. Employees often waited until days or hours before departure for manager sign‑off, and administrative teams struggled with data errors and hard‑copy records for reporting and audits.

Ferring implemented Nintex Workflow and Nintex Forms on a SharePoint library (with support from partner Intelogy) to digitize and automate travel requests and approvals. The solution removed paperwork bottlenecks, enabled managers to approve from any location, and improved reporting—delivering 85% faster approvals, fewer delays, eliminated manual processes, and better data accuracy.
