Problems & solutions

Common problemsApproval progress can't be tracked

Steps, approvers, and attachments live only in personal inboxes, and the chain breaks when someone is on leave or transfers

How IPCS solves themCase details on one page

Form, workflow progress, and approval history appear on one page, and attachments are kept through returns and resubmissions

BenefitsPick up a case and see where it stands

See which step and which person a case is stuck on, without digging through a predecessor's inbox

Common problemsMulti-department review means queuing

Paper can only be passed along in sequence, and separate sign-offs are hard to tie back to the same application

How IPCS solves themParallel joint review, then merge

Assign one step to several departments to review at the same time, then merge the results into the next step

BenefitsAll comments in one application

No waiting for paper to come around; every department's comments are kept on the same application

Common problemsNew forms require system changes

Every new type of application or adjusted field requires a developer to release a new version

How IPCS solves themCustom application forms

Admins drag to arrange fields and bind forms to workflows and eligible projects; old versions stay traceable

BenefitsMaintain forms yourself

No waiting for a developer to ship a change, and cases submitted on old versions can still be looked up

Common problemsWorkflow changes affect old cases

Cases in progress change along with the workflow, so it's hard to say afterward which version was in force at sign-off

How IPCS solves themLocked on submission

On submission, the workflow, approvers, and form responses are locked, so later changes don't affect that case

BenefitsTraceable versions and accountability

Adjust workflows with confidence: cases in progress and already approved continue under the original workflow

Common problemsApproval proof is hard to trust

Paper proof is easily lost, and screenshots get questioned

How IPCS solves themApproval certificate

Print a certificate with a QR code; scanning it downloads the official version for checking

BenefitsCheck the official version instantly

In audits, closeout, or disputes, the other party can scan to verify it, with no arguing over whether a copy is genuine
