Workflow Automation Software: Get Your Work Done Faster

What is Workflow Automation?

A workflow is a set of successive actions that lead to the completion of a primary task. This task must be repetitive so that its steps are predictable and can be automated. 

Workflow automation, then, is the process of automating these repetitive tasks to streamline the work process and complete tasks efficiently. Workflow automation platforms utilize customized business rules to notify each employee of when tasks are completed and new tasks are ready to be worked on. Instead of manual work to do in each step, workflow automation software handles the routine tasks and moves the process along smoothly. 

Workflows fully exploit the organizational structure to provide unprecedented process design and action monitoring. This type of automation can be created using Comidor’s No-Code / Low-Code and Hyper-automation platform, which combines Business Process Management (BPM), RPA, AI/ML, and workflow management. Through Workflow Designer, you can navigate and modify existing processes or create a new workflow using BPMN 2.0 with drag-and-drop functionality.    

Design workflow patterns

• Attach workflows to any process and facilitate process-mapping
• Apply role-based rights and rules to ensure that the right people with the proper guidelines participate in a process 
• Add gateways and conditional paths to determine the process flow 
• Include scripts to the workflow design with the Shell Command component 
• Use RESTful Web Service workflow components and connect your system with other apps and tools 
• Set workflow controls and policies and decide what actions are required before and after any workflow task 
• Set task escalations to automatically initiate actions, and send notifications and emails when certain conditions are met 
• Export and transfer BPMN 2.0 documents 

Build Fully Customizable Forms with the Form Designer

• Use forms in processes and activities 
• Design your form easily, with drag-n-drop of fields, and group them within sections 
• Add multiple Columns, Paragraphs, and Styles inside a form 
• Create “read-only,” “read/write,” mandatory or optional fields inside forms 
• Set desired properties to each user field like applying pattern and pattern error messages 
• Hide sensitive information which should be displayed only for certain users, roles, or groups in a workflow 
• Add a script within a form 
• Hide or show fields inside forms when certain conditions are met with the fields rule functionality  

Create and run workflow simulations

• Perform testing and optimize your processes with the Workflow Simulator 
• Pilot different scenarios and make predictions about the results of your processes 
• Simulate your processes and visualize the simulation with analytics 
• Prevent errors that would not be identified in the initial steps of the workflow design process 

Power your workflow automation with a central Workflow Repository

• Access the workflow repository, and get an overview of all workflow designs/processes in a table format, grouped per category 
• Add process mapping in HTML, including enriched text and pictures to provide general instructions and information (process designers only) 
• Access and export the full workflow design and architecture (Business Process document) including all components, resources, process owner, and stakeholders involved (all users) 
• Inform users about each workflow stage with the documentation guide (Business Process Guidelines) that Comidor automatically generates

Manage changes carefully with Workflow Change Management

• Create and schedule version activation on specific dates 
• Deactivate, modify, and delete existing versions 
• Track changes applied in specific tasks of the workflow within the Audit Trail Log 
• Compare different versions of the same workflow in the Compare Versions tab

Achieve business process optimization with Workflow Analytics

• Analyze workflows and audit all workflow actions triggered in a specific process 
• Monitor and track the performance of every workflow 
• Pinpoint the total and delayed instances and tasks that were created with one workflow 
• Apply filters for custom results to identify process bottlenecks and eliminate them

Get valuable insights with Comidor Workflow Reports

The RACI Report depicts the different user responsibilities and roles regarding the workflow tasks of a business process, by demonstrating which user is Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, or Informed. 

The User Activities Report is based on users and shows the workflows in which a user participates, the activities, the responsibilities per workflow stage, as well as other important information regarding the workflow.
