What do you do when your company needs to manage its internal operations through an online system, but lacks a dedicated development team?
Meet Yong, an IT manager at a South Korean company specializing in both travel and computer services. Being a traditional enterprise with infrequent development needs, they haven't hired professional developers. All tasks related to software and technology within the company fall under Yong's responsibility. He aims to discover more efficient and convenient tools to help the company digitize its operations.
The Struggle for Sales Management
In this case, Yong and his team needed to build an ERP platform as the core business management solution for their company. The platform includes features such as sales management, order processing, financial reporting, and more.
The company's sales team is distributed across various cities and currently maintains order progress using Google Sheets. They also use Telegram for customer communication. The use of multiple platforms and locations was making their business processes inefficient.
To streamline operations and management, they needed to integrate the third-party services they've already used. In that way, sales team members can access their order details through the platform, including customer information, product models, and payment status. They can also send automated messages through Telegram. Meanwhile, the finance department and company leaders have a clear overview of sales performance, product inventory, procurement, and other vital information directly through the platform.
In Search of a Better Way
Before encountering Momen, Yong and his team had no prior experience with no-code development. They had explored outsourcing or purchasing an off-the-shelf system, but both options exceeded their budget and would entail additional maintenance costs.
While there were some no-code platforms available locally in South Korea, most of them were primarily front-end tools suitable for building showcase websites. They lacked database management capabilities and couldn't meet the requirements of connecting multiple third-party service APIs.
That was until they discovered Momen.
Efficient ERP Solution with Momen
Yong expressed, "Momen has opened the door to a whole new world for me. Developing apps has always been my dream, and now I can finally bring it to life with my own hands."
Before diving into the project, Yong participated in Momen's one-month training camp. Under the guidance of expert Lynn, he quickly mastered around 80% of Momen's functionalities. "I think I've fallen in love with Momen. There were nights I stayed up late working on it, just like playing a game, eager to explore more innovative possibilities."
During the project development process, Yong particularly favors these three features.
1. Visual Data Modeling
Within Momen's data modeling interface, users can add, delete, or modify data tables and define data constraints. Visualized relationships benefits both project transfer and debugging. It also makes future query much easier.
To meet the ERP requirements, this project established multiple tables, including accounts, order lists, order statuses, product listings, regions, etc. These clear data relationships form the foundation for the smooth operation of the app.
2. Seamless API Integration
Momen provides seamless integration with third-party APIs, eliminating the need for users to write code for API configuration and testing.
When someone enters an entry on Google Sheets, this sends a synchronization request to Momen's callback URL, triggers an action flow which then sends automated messages to the clients involved via telegram
3. Flexible Action Flows
Momen's Action Flows can be thought of as functions or APIs that take inputs, execute specific actions, and provide outputs, with the ability to plug in javascript code blocks for complex logic.
Due to the substantial volume of financial data involved in this project, and the relatively large amounts in Korean Won, the configuration of the Action Flow automatically formats sales figures into a thousand-separator format for display.
It was the rich product features and expert support that led Yong to choose Momen.
"If there's ever a need to upgrade projects, I won't hesitate to opt for Momen again. I'm excited about advancing with this platform."
Momen is committed to empowering individuals and businesses who aren't proficient in coding to have the ability to develop apps, all while saving time and reducing costs to bring projects to fruition more efficiently.
