The exciting story of business process automation at ThermoWise brings together the richness of Microsoft Azure, the pilotfish workflow engine and Sage Pastel into a solution for success.

ThermoWise is a dynamic, entrepreneurial engineering company that has found a niche as one of the country's leading suppliers of innovative energy-saving solutions to the domestic, commercial and agricultural sectors.

pilotfish implemented an automated workflow solution to help streamline the sales pipeline, allowing the sales team to manage their processes proactively. The system tracks complex orders from inception through to delivery. This allows the company to focus on sales while providing a solution which maintains the back-end of the processes behind tracking the sales from start to finish. With more time to focus on getting business, this has allowed for an increase in productivity, which translates to growth and profitability.

Clean and user-friendly design is a key feature of pilotfish systems.

The success in using Microsoft Azure is that it is well suited to start-up companies such as ThermoWise, as less upfront financial investment in the infrastructure platform is required. It works on the premise that you only pay for what you use. This allows more effort to be invested in growing the business, with the peace of mind that the Azure platform is easily scalable to suit business needs as the company grows.

For the techies out there, one of the solutions pilotfish used in the Microsoft Azure stack is the Azure Service Bus Relay to connect the Web-based application to the on-premises, hosted Sage Pastel database.

And thus, pilotfish embarks - with ThermoWise - on an Azure-enriched journey into the world of automated business process solutions.
