Process Mapping & Improvements

Using different techniques, Indiqua assists clients to map out their business activities in easy to understand flow diagrams. This helps understand the various linkages across business lines and clarifies staff members roles and responsibilities. The resulting flow diagrams are useful for making improvements to processes, producing procedure manuals and are also helpful in defining internal controls for each activity of the business.

Working capital is the life blood of any business. It is critical that working capital in the business is closely monitored and managed to ensure that the business is not adversely impacted by lack of liquidity to run critical business activities. We review the different components of working capital and based on our understanding of the client's business, we make recommendations on how the working capital position can be improved to increase the liquidity in the business.

We document our work using various techniques such as process models, enterprise architecture models or customer journey maps.
