Process transformation

ORGANISATION

~10,000 employees

01 — THE CHALLENGE

Processes existed. The culture needed to catch up.

Across Wizz Air, teams already had processes. What was missing was a documentation culture strong enough to match the scale and complexity of the operation.

Closing that gap was less a tooling problem than a change management one, requiring a shift in mindset as much as a new platform. Adoption was improving, but sustaining it across a 10,000-person organisation called for the right foundation.

The goal

Create one reliable, intuitive foundation for structured and well-documented ways of working across every department.

02 — WHY PROCESSPRO

A formal tender. Five clear decision drivers.

Wizz Air set out to replace its previous solution with a platform that was more flexible, more user friendly, and more cost efficient. ProcessPro met the brief.

Close collaboration with the ProcessPro product team enables rapid action and continuous tracking of adoption, user activity, and process maturity across departments.

03 — THE RSULTS

From documentation activity to strategic advantage.

Process maturity is building department by department, changing how projects begin, teams onboard, and work gets implemented.

Documentation comes first

Process documentation has become a mandatory, upfront requirement for IT strategy implementation, shifting from a project activity to a strategic prerequisite.

A flagship team sets the standard

Group Training is leading on maturity, mapping, optimising, and embedding processes into onboarding to create patterns other teams can follow.

Onboarding drives engagement

Newcomer onboarding has significantly increased engagement and supported stronger adoption, helping new joiners start within structured workflows from day one.

Optimisation accelerates projects

Getting the process right before building has improved project timelines and accelerated implementation efficiency, resulting in an important downstream gain.

WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP

Visibility turns momentum into action.

The close working relationship between Wizz Air and the ProcessPro product team enables rapid action and continuous tracking of adoption, user activity, and process maturity across departments.

OPERATING AT SCALE

A foundation for the long term.

At 10,000 people, demand for day-to-day process support is constant. No single tool resolves that operational challenge alone. ProcessPro gives the transformation team a reliable foundation to keep building maturity, department by department.

EASE OF USE

Intuitive from the start.

Wizz Air describes the mapping experience as intuitive and easy to adopt, with some initial coaching to ensure quality and consistency. That low barrier to entry matters across a large and varied workforce.
