Case Study: ANA achieves centralized, paperless requisition management in 3 weeks with OutSystems

ANA Delivers Centralized Requisition Management System in 3 Weeks

ANA, the organization that manages and operates seven airports, faced an unwieldy requisition process involving 1,400 employees, a 12,000‑item catalog, tons of paper, error‑prone steps and long manual approval cycles. The company needed an intranet solution that let employees create requisitions easily, enforced a simple approval flow, integrated with a simultaneously deployed SAP‑MM system, and had to go live in just three weeks.

Using the OutSystems Platform, ANA launched a centralized web‑based requisition system integrated with SAP‑MM via reusable web services (both asynchronous master‑data sync and real‑time triggers). The solution delivered in three weeks, supported 1,400 users and 12,000 items, eliminated paper, required training only for approvers and purchasing controllers, centralized data for reuse, and allowed rapid post‑deployment changes while keeping integration reusable for other applications.
