BPM and process automation

We move approval routes out of verbal agreements and e-mail threads into the system, with an owner at every stage, deadlines and defined behaviour on rejection. We do not develop a BPM product of our own — we implement established platforms.

what we automate

The processes people usually start with

Not "all document flow at once", but specific routes where the delay is felt and can be measured.

01

Contract approval

Legal, finance, security, management — with parallel branches where they really are parallel. You can see whose desk the document is on and for how many days.

02

Purchase and payment requests

A request is linked to a budget and a contract from creation. The limit is checked when the commitment arises, not during month-end reconciliation.

03

Incoming and outgoing correspondence

Registration, resolutions, assignments and deadline control. The simplest process for a pilot: the result is visible within a week.

04

Internal documents

Memos, orders, leave and travel requests. Many similar routes that are easy to describe as templates.

05

Assignments and follow-up

Who is responsible, by what date, what counts as done. Without this, meetings generate assignments nobody tracks.

06

Budget change approval

Reallocation between lines with a record of who initiated and who authorised it. "Why did this figure change" stops being an investigation.

typical mistakes

Why BPM implementations fail

We have seen all of these. Half of these risks are removed by the survey stage, the other half by the pilot.

Automating an undocumented process

If a route exists only in people's heads, it will freeze in the system in whatever shape it happened to have. Description first, configuration second.

"Do it as it is now, but in the system"

That also automates the step that exists only because departments do not trust each other. Some stages are better removed than digitised.

Ignoring exceptions

Urgent payments and out-of-order documents always exist. If they are not described, users start working around the system and the statistics stop being reliable.

No process owner

Without a person who decides on the route, agreeing the configuration takes longer than the implementation itself.

Launching everything at once

One process in a pilot exposes mistakes cheaply. Ten processes at once expose the same mistakes expensively and in every department.

No baseline measurement

If approval duration and the number of returns are not measured before go-live, there will be nothing to compare against afterwards.
