Every Plant's App Request, Prioritized Against the Same IT Backlog
A quality team at one plant requests a defect-logging app, and a maintenance team at another plant requests something similar the same month, and both go into IT's backlog with no shared view of what's competing for capacity. Kissflow gives every plant one portal to request, and IT one backlog to prioritize.

One portal for every plant's app request, one backlog for IT to prioritize against
Every plant has its own relationship with corporate IT, its own inbox to email, and its own sense of how urgent its request is, which means IT ends up prioritizing based on who asked most recently and loudest rather than a consistent view of cost, impact, and urgency across every plant at once. Kissflow gives any plant department one structured portal to describe the app it needs instead of five separate email threads that all read slightly differently. Every request gets scored against the same cost, impact, and urgency criteria regardless of which plant submitted it or how forcefully, so a request from a quiet plant ranks on its merits rather than getting buried under a louder one. The system flags when two plants have requested something similar enough to combine into a single build instead of duplicating the work twice, and it matches prioritized requests against actual available IT and citizen-developer capacity rather than a backlog that grows indefinitely with no visible ceiling. A requester can see exactly where their request stands on the shared backlog at any time, without emailing IT to check.
Without a shared portal, prioritization is decided by whoever asks loudest
Requests arrive as five separate email threads
Each plant emails whoever they know in IT, with no shared record.
Prioritization follows whoever asks loudest
The request from the most persistent requester gets attention, not necessarily the highest-impact one.
Backlog is invisible to requesters
A plant has no way to see where its request ranks or when it might get worked.
Overlap is found after both plants build separately
Two plants solve the same problem independently before anyone notices the duplication.
Built to run the whole process, not just record it
Every capability this app needs, in one place.
App request intake
A structured form for any plant department to describe the app it needs, replacing five separate email threads.
Prioritization scoring
Scores each request against the same cost, impact, and urgency criteria, regardless of which plant submitted it.
Backlog visibility
Shows every plant's requests ranked on one shared backlog, visible to requesters and IT alike at any time.
Cross-plant overlap check
Flags when two plants have requested something similar enough to combine into a single build instead.
IT capacity matching
Matches prioritized requests against actual available IT and citizen-developer build capacity in real time.
Requester status tracking
Lets a requester see exactly where their request stands on the backlog, without emailing IT to check.
From request to system of record in four steps
Submit
A plant department submits an app request through the structured portal instead of an email thread.
Review
The request is scored against cost, impact, and urgency, then ranked on the one shared backlog.
Approve
IT matches the ranked request against actual available capacity, checking for overlap with other plants first.
Record
The requester can see status at every stage on the shared backlog, without emailing IT directly.
What changes when this runs on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Requests | Five separate email threads | One shared portal |
| Prioritization | Whoever asks loudest | Scored against consistent criteria |
| Backlog | Invisible to requesters | Visible on one shared ranking |
| Overlap | Found after both plants build separately | Flagged at intake |
| Capacity | Assumed available | Matched explicitly before a request starts |
| Status | Requesters email IT to check | Visible without asking |
Connects to the IT ticketing and capacity-planning systems already tracking the backlog


Built as one portal for every plant, scored consistently
One portal, not five inboxes
Every plant submits requests the same structured way.
Scored consistently, not by volume of asking
The loudest requester doesn't automatically win priority.
Overlap flagged before two plants build the same thing
Duplication is caught at intake, not after both are already underway.
Matched to actual capacity
Prioritization accounts for what IT can realistically deliver.
Status visible without an email to IT
Requesters check the portal instead of chasing an inbox.
Configured in the visual builder, live in days
No separate ticketing platform migration required.

Get SupportThat app is scoped specifically to AI tool requests and their eligibility review. This portal is the general app request and prioritization intake for any new app a plant department wants, AI or otherwise, ranked against IT's shared backlog.
IT, using consistent criteria, cost, impact, and urgency, applied the same way regardless of which plant submitted it.
The overlap check flags it, and IT can combine the requests into one prioritized item instead of building the same thing twice.
Yes. The scoring against cost, impact, and urgency is visible on the request's status, not a black box.
Yes. Process owners configure the intake, rules, and approval routing in the visual builder, and the AI Builder can generate a working app from a plain-language description.
Through APIs and integration connectors, under single sign-on and role-based access, with every action written to an audit log.
Configuration and AI generation move delivery from weeks to days, without a multi-year platform program or an engineering backlog.
