Xpoda Success Story – Atasay

Özkan Yurttaşer, Director of Information Technologies at Atasay, spoke about the Xpoda success story. Yurttaşer said:

If you’re looking for a platform that responds to you quickly, responsively, and with great flexibility, Xpoda is one of the best.

Host:
Could you briefly tell us about your company?

Özkan Yurttaşer:
As Atasay Jewelry, we are a company operating in the corporate sector. We produce and sell gold, silver, diamonds, and jewelry. Atasay also has investments in real estate. We also have a company operating in the luxury yacht manufacturing sector.

Host:
Before starting the project, what were your company’s needs?

Özkan Yurttaşer:
We don’t want to create a closed-loop, structured world. We are trying to create a world that we can enter, that is flexible, that we can shape as we wish, where we can create diagrams, and whose commands and content can run parallel to the needs of the company. While creating this, you are actually trying to achieve a software that is as flexible, comfortable, and peaceful as possible.” Xpoda emerged as a leading platform that met our needs. Therefore, we integrated it into our systems and gained significant advantages as a result.

Host:

What are the most striking features that led you to choose Xpoda?

Özkan Yurttaşer:

We need to discuss the reasons for choosing Xpoda. Of course, we talked to alternative companies, but the point we reached is this: you need to create a world that you can manage very easily. Therefore, you need to choose the right platform. Performance is an important criterion for us. Therefore, it needs to have strong performance. It needs to have a scalable structure. We need to be able to easily transfer “truck drops”. We need to be able to update very quickly. We expect the system and structure to guide us in development, rather than the individual’s experience. When you put all these together, Xpoda really stands out. If you are looking for a platform that is flexible, quick, and responsive, Xpoda is one of the best.

Host:
In which areas have you integrated Xpoda into your processes?

Özkan Yurttaşer:

We use many workflows. We have a cost management system, a form, an invoice approval process, payment approval processes. In the real estate sector, we have a lot of employee hiring and turnover. So we use one of our processes in that area. We have a workflow related to occupational safety. You have the chance to use multiple companies within the same cycle. All the software you use is implemented very quickly. You don’t need to explain much about training. There are email integrations, ERP integrations. Depending on the type of ERP you use, you can use the same system but with different ERP systems. You can use it for white-collar workers or blue-collar workers. It doesn’t matter if it’s a mobile phone, iOS, or Android. You create a world where you integrate in a very flexible way.

Host:

What benefits have you gained from Xpoda? What challenges have you overcome?

Özkan Yurttaşer:

With Xpoda, you experience this: You make a registration. You can quickly get approval. When does it need to be paid? Who needs to pay? Did you choose the right company? Is it being paid in the correct currency? In a system with thousands of such workflows, you’re making things easier for the person entering it. You can see where the last process got stuck, why it was rejected. We’ve reached a point where we can complete in 3-5 minutes what used to take 3, 5, or 10 days to complete.

Host:

How has being able to quickly develop your workflows with drag-and-drop using Xpoda increased your productivity?

Özkan Yurttaşer:

It’s actually a platform. It’s not just software. It’s a bit more than software. You can add not just your needs, but the world you want to create to the system. You can also integrate it. It integrates with your ERP system, with your different structures. It communicates with them. You can do all this with “truck drops.” I took this, I added it here. There’s control. Management changes, structures change, the world within the organization changes, but we have the chance to add this to the system very easily in 10 or 15 minutes. It’s a flexible, comfortable, easy-to-use world where you can customize it as you wish.

Host:
Would you recommend Xpoda to other brands in your industry?

Özkan Yurttaşer:
We’re not actually software. We’re a software development platform. When you say development platform, you mean a structure that grows and expands with you, responding to all your needs. You provide security, you provide scalability. Know that we should create a world that can provide you with all the options you need, whenever you need them, and offer significant support. While providing this control, we wanted to create a world where we could report whenever we wanted, approve whenever we wanted, reject whenever we wanted, and keep it under control with the permissions or authorizations we gave. Xpoda has been a very significant support to us in this regard.
