Using Form.io for Scaling Globally

Summary

Transparency-One, a platform for responsible supply chain sourcing, began experiencing rapid growth.

They needed a flexible solution that could handle requests from clients around the world without interfering with their existing data model.

To meet their short term scale-up needs quickly and integrate a flexible, long term data management solution into its platform, they turned to Form.io.


The Challenge

Navigating a Global Scale-Up and Wide Range of Data Needs

As a B2B company scaling globally, Transparency- One needed a flexible form and data management solution to offer their clients that didn't require abandoning their existing data model. The technology had to be able to securely deliver the right questions to the right suppliers, maintaining relevance across a wide variety of industries and roles, located all around the world. With a technical team in-house and a complex platform of their own, they wanted a ready-built solution that offered custom data modelling options that could be managed and made into their own.

The solution also needed to meet global compliance requirements and maintain their clients' confidence in their high ethical standards. By integrating with their existing system, the technology had to be able to get by national firewalls. Ideally, it could also offer the team enough flexibility to adapt to new uses through the next phases of company growth and development.

Form.io was the perfect fit.
