Project & order lifecycles
Model the stages, dependencies and approvals behind a customer project. Connect quotations, work orders and delivery records to the work they represent.
Industry / 03
Kerning / IntelligenceEnterprise operations.
One continuous record, from the first enquiry to the last handoff.
01The operating context
The project crosses departments. Its context should travel with it.
Applications for project-led businesses, commercial operations and cross-functional teams. Connect sales, purchasing, delivery and finance around the way your business actually works.
A project may begin in sales and move through design, purchasing, fabrication, delivery and service. Each stage introduces a new responsibility, but the commercial commitments and customer expectations need to remain consistent.
We focus on that continuity: the records a team needs, the permissions that protect them and the transitions that connect one person’s work to another’s. This is the foundation for useful reporting and considered automation.

02Possible project scope
What we can build.
Starting points for a conversation. The right scope depends on your workflow, available data and existing systems.
Role-based workspaces
Give internal teams, dealers and customers relevant views of a shared process. Design access around responsibility, with clear boundaries for commercial and operational information.
Procurement & stock workflows
Connect requests, purchasing and inventory records with the project that needs them. Make incomplete information and outstanding approvals visible before the next handoff.
Finance & reconciliation
Bring statements and transactions into a reviewable workflow. Use classification rules and exception flags to support the finance team’s judgement, with the basis of each decision retained.
03Enterprise applications
Hemco: connecting the commercial-kitchen project lifecycle.
Our Hemco work covers project operations, role-specific workspaces and finance workflows. It connects enquiries, project stages, quotes, invoices, procurement and support; complementary reconciliation work supports transaction review.
The published case focuses on project, workspace and finance applications. Workflow illustrations explain the application scope; they are not live customer records.
04A useful first conversation
Choose a project that reveals the whole system.
Walking through one real project helps identify the business rules, exceptions and departmental handoffs a new application must support.
- When does responsibility pass to another team?
- Which records must remain consistent across departments?
- What does finance need to review before closing the work?
