Platform architecture

See how all the modules connect and work together as one platform

DatarPlatformRequestsProjectsPeopleDriveInventoryProcurement

All six modules share a common foundation — permissions, notifications, search, tags, and audit logging work the same way everywhere. Data flows seamlessly between modules so you never have to re-enter information.

How it works

From request to completion — see the typical journey through the platform

CreateSubmitReviewApprove

1. Create

Submit a request, create a project, upload a file, or log your hours — all from a single dashboard.

2. Route

Items are automatically routed to the right people based on your organisation's approval policies.

3. Collaborate

Comment, @mention colleagues, attach documents, and track progress in real time.

4. Complete

Approved items trigger follow-up actions automatically — balances update, stock adjusts, and records are archived.

Connected by design

One connected platform — no data silos, no duplicate entry

Single source of truth

All modules share the same data layer. An approved purchase order updates inventory, a leave request adjusts the team calendar, and a timesheet entry links directly to the project task.

Secure and auditable

Enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access controls, and comprehensive audit logging ensure your data is protected at every level.

Web and mobile

Access the full platform from your desktop browser or the Datar mobile app on iOS and Android. Your data stays in sync across all devices.
