Webinar Recap: Power Up Your Platform: Build & Deploy Custom Apps to Transform Your Workday Experience
At Makse Group, we believe technology works best when it’s tailored to real business needs, and our recent webinar co-hosted with Workday proved this to be the case.
On 31st July 2025, George Whitaker - Head of Innovation at Makse Group joined Workday experts in the session Power Up Your Platform: Build & Deploy Custom Apps to Transform Your Workday Experience. Together, we explored how Workday Marketplace Apps can supercharge your platform, streamline operations, and deliver fast, measurable business value.
Why Marketplace Apps Matter
The Workday Marketplace is home to an ecosystem of partner-built applications designed to extend the power of Workday’s core platform. These apps:
Deliver fast time-to-value without lengthy development cycles
Operate seamlessly within Workday’s adaptable, secure, and trusted environment
Give access to innovation from vetted, Workday-approved partners
Whether it’s improving financial operations, enhancing employee productivity, or integrating new capabilities, Marketplace Apps give organizations the flexibility to respond to changing business needs quickly and confidently.
Makse Group’s Impact on the Marketplace
We’re proud to share that Makse Group has developed 10% of all apps currently available in the Workday Marketplace. Our portfolio is built with the same principles that guide our consulting work: deep industry expertise, a focus on real-world challenges, and a passion for innovation.
During the webinar, we showcased some of our most impactful apps:
Customer Payment Portal
Enable customers to pay invoices directly within Workday using credit cards, no external portals or manual reconciliation required. Real-time payment visibility helps teams resolve issues faster and improve cash flow.
Sales Order and Dropship Management
Centralize contracts, sales orders, requisitions, purchase orders, and shipments in one location. Automated billing and revenue recognition ensure accurate, timely financial reporting, with real-time updates that keep every stakeholder informed.
Browser Extension Workday Time Tracking
Streamline time tracking for employees and contractors by logging hours as they are worked throughout the day. This helps to prevent payroll delays, eliminate manual errors, and enhance both compliance and billing accuracy.
