Fractured communication across emails, spreadsheets and disconnected systems slows dental teams down. MEDENTIS, a digital solutions provider for dental practices, partnered with ELWIS to build a purpose-built dental CRM and order management app — in less than 200 hours.
Operating in a documentation-heavy setting, dental clinics, implant providers and internal service teams depend on precision, continuity and accessibility of records. Yet many still run order and case workflows through shared inboxes, spreadsheets and partial data scattered across systems. Compliance adds pressure: ADA dental record requirements, HIPAA safeguards for ePHI, FDA UDI and EU MDR implant traceability.

What needs attention right now?
Tame inbox chaos
A dedicated email address for every order stream.
Dependable attributes
Workflow rules driven by attribute logic.
Shared visibility
A TV-ready dashboard, auto-refreshed every minute.
External access
Controlled access for dentists and assistants.
Every capability was shaped around how dental teams actually work — from order intake to mobile access.
ORDERS
One location to generate, change and track the status of every order. With defined lifecycles and clear status indicators, teams immediately see which cases are in progress, locked, or ready for the next action.
DASHBOARD
A dashboard summarizes vital statistics at login. A dedicated TV-ready perspective auto-refreshes every minute, so the whole team sees the current operational status — no more hunting through spreadsheets or emails.
WORKFLOWS
A core requirement was the implementation of dependable attributes within front-end workflow rules. In practice, this means the user interface enforces structured behavior, such as showing or hiding fields based on the order type, triggering role-specific actions, or validating data before a status change. This ensures consistent data entry and keeps processes predictable.
AUTOMATION
The app automatically sends email notifications when key events occur, such as when a new user is created or when an order moves to a new status. This reduces the need for manual follow-up and makes handoffs between departments (e.g., from clinical to administrative teams) more reliable and transparent.
COLLABORATION
A standout operational feature is the ability to assign a dedicated, system-managed email address to each project or order stream. This keeps all case-related correspondence organized and prevents department inboxes from becoming overwhelmed. The email subject and signature are also automatically adapted to match the needs of the two primary departments, ensuring professional and clear external communication.
Orders move through defined lifecycles with clear ownership.
Unified patient records replace scattered spreadsheets.
ACCESS & ROLES
Dentists and dental assistants get controlled access to the platform, so internal staff no longer relay updates manually. On Elwis, external users and enterprise authentication are first-class features — not an afterthought.
MOBILE
Knowing that dentists are usually on the go, the program was created with unique mobile behavior in mind. From a tablet or smartphone, dentists and assistants can efficiently carry out important duties, review order status, and access patient records without being bound to a desktop computer.
ElwisApp blends custom development with a powerful no-code layer — the team focused on operational problems instead of writing code from scratch.
Simpler to manage, fewer user errors and a smaller learning curve — fields are already made, they just need to be filled out.

The implemented journey is simple and operationally grounded, resulting in a system that is easy to use and learn for everyone, as well as efficient for maximum productivity:
Users log in securely, with protections such as CAPTCHA.
Access or update relevant patient and order details.
Each order gets a dedicated email channel, organized by case.
Status changes trigger notifications automatically.
Staff monitor live status on the auto-refreshing dashboard.
Delivered on the ELWIS low-code platform — implementation, preparation of AVR, workflow setup, design work and transferring attributes into ELWIS — with a tiered rollout: beta group, training sessions, webinars and user manuals.
We finally see the real status of every order the moment it changes — nobody chases emails or spreadsheets anymore.
