Workflow automation
Replacing manual, multi-step business processes with software that runs them reliably.
Workflow automation replaces manual, repetitive, multi-step business processes - approvals, notifications, data entry, hand-offs - with software that executes them consistently, with an audit trail and exception handling.
The highest-ROI automations target processes that are frequent, rule-based, and error-prone. Good automation includes the unhappy paths: failures, retries, and human escalation.
