The National Housing Development Authority cut document process time 60% with eBreeze.
A Sri Lankan government statutory authority moved its paper-bound approval workflows onto Nanobotz's eBreeze platform — digitising document routing, approvals and the audit trail. Document process time fell by 60%.
Who they are
The National Housing Development Authority is a Sri Lankan government statutory body responsible for the country's housing mandate. Like most public institutions, its approvals ran on paper — files, signatures and registers moving desk to desk across departments.
The challenge
Approvals took weeks. Physical files moved from desk to desk, and there was no reliable way to see where a document was, who was holding it, or how long it had been sitting. The process was slow, hard to trace, and impossible to hold accountable.
- Approvals measured in weeks, not hours.
- Documents physically routed between departments.
- No visibility into where a file was or why it was stuck.
- No defensible audit trail for public-sector accountability.
What we built
We deployed eBreeze, Nanobotz's paperless workflow platform — digitising document routing, approvals and record-keeping in one system. Every document now moves along a defined workflow, with each step, approver and timestamp captured automatically.
- Digitised document routing with defined approval workflows.
- Structured approvals, replacing desk-to-desk paper movement.
- A complete, automatic audit trail on every document.
the outcome
60% less process time
The National Housing Development Authority reduced its document process time by 60% using Nanobotz's eBreeze paperless workflow platform. Approvals that once took weeks now move in a fraction of the time — with full traceability from start to finish.
In their words
We hold client quotes to a higher bar than the numbers we can already state. A referenceable quote from the authority is being confirmed — until it is signed off, we let the verified outcome speak for itself rather than publish words no one approved.
The technology
eBreeze is Nanobotz's paperless workflow platform for government and enterprise — built on an enterprise stack (Java / Spring Boot and PostgreSQL) for the reliability and auditability public institutions require.
