Workflows that partly reach a high degree of complexity are day-to-day business in every company. But for the efficacy of modern IT solutions, these processes would be scarcely or partly not manageable at all. Workflow management systems take over the control of such processes.
For selection and use of potential systems, you as the user are faced with the predicament that the company’s internal processes need to be restructured sometimes completely and capital-intensively in order to meet the requirements of standard software.
However, our workflow management system pecFLOW will strike a balance with your requirements and offer you a maximum possible degree of automation with maximum individuality at minimal investment so that you are able to model your processes with a future-proof and efficient strategy.
By deploying our technologies of agile software development, we will make sure that your requirements are met promptly, robustly and reliably in order to sustainably strengthen the performance of your company in a competitive environment.
pecFLOW IN YOUR COMPANY
Thanks to its features to adapt to your internal workflows, pecFLOW has capabilities to display your company’s structure in detail, regarding its organisational structures such as departments, workgroups and employees. An optimised view of individual work processes is presented by different perspectives to each participant. Thus, persons responsible have a comprehensive overview of the tasks processed by them. Team leaders, on the other hand, oversee outstanding issues of their working group.
A sophisticated authorisation and role concept integrated into pecFLOW allows each participant to use those functions that correspond to his/her field of work. Of course, pecFLOW takes into account legal regulations such as GDPR or, offers you the possibility to carry out the rights and role allocation in tamper-proof security in tune with the two-person rule.
WORKING WITH pecFLOW
A worklist, which can be employee‑, department- or company-related according to the access authorisation, provides a fast and comprehensive overview of open, deferred and completed tasks. As digital filing including all processes, incoming orders or requests, the worklist can also be used for distributing such tasks to individual employees or workgroups. It becomes, therefore, the central switching point in the entire workflow.
You can handle individual processes and tasks using clear masks. In addition, pecFLOW provides you with homogeneous access to all relevant documents independent of the type and its localisation in the company or the internet. Tedious searching in the file explorer will become thus a thing of the past.
pecFLOW workflow management system users do not need a separate installation of client software. pecFLOW is web-based and can therefore be used in any known internet browser. Thanks to its modern layout, pecFLOW allows you ergonomic working at all known terminal devices such as PC, smartphone, tablet or other systems.
CONTROL OF YOUR WORK PROCESSES
You can monitor and control workflows with pecFLOW. An integrated memory and escalation management ensures that tasks cannot be pushed aside, and planned appointments can be kept. If there is a threat of delay, pecFLOW can cyclically inform all those involved via email among other things. A traffic light system indicates possible escalations well in advance.
The routine concept that controls all workflows internally ensures that tasks are forwarded from processor to processor or to other workgroups. Certainly, pecFLOW provides you with the option to intervene in single processes individually.
The basis for our pecFLOW workflow management system is an internally developed workflow engine. It includes generalised components that are usually needed in any workflow project and thus can be used universally. Based on this, we develop company-specific modules to model your internal business processes. The positive results of these processes for you are the reduced costs while enhancing quality and flexibility at the same time.
DATA AND DOCUMENTS
Data and documents are the focal point of all workflows. pecFLOW offers you the possibility to store data in database systems according to your preference, such as Oracle, Db2 or Microsoft SQL Server. pecFLOW also includes independent database solutions.
The document manager supports pecFLOW in a number of ways. You usually receive documents via different paths such as email, fax, from customer requests via web form or by post. The digitising interface integrated into pecFLOW prepares the incoming data in such a way that they are stored in the worklist in homogenous form. Thus, manual, time-consuming and error-prone monitoring of email accounts or fax machines are completely dispensed with.
pecFLOW also comprehensively supports you in the field of document creation. Automated generation of PDF documents as well as document creation in the standard office formats are mastered by pecFLOW.
INTEGRATION INTO YOUR IT INFRASTRUCTURE
Beyond its enormous scope of performance, pecFLOW has the capability to integrate into your company-internal IT landscape in multiple ways. You can add interfaces to your existing systems very efficiently. Specifically, for pecFLOW, we have developed tools for interface generation that support all modern communication technologies such as REST or SOAP protocols. The bidirectional data exchange between pecFLOW and other applications in your company can thus be carried out very conveniently, for example, for invoicing, for mail or fax dispatches or for tamper-proof long-time archiving of your documents.
Of course, also supported are pure database interfaces as well as data transfer with the possibilities of file communication or also any data transfer between pecFLOW and proprietary systems without standardised interfaces.
STATISTICS AND ANALYSES
Statistics are an essential basis for further optimisation of workflows in your company in order to increase effectiveness or for strategic company planning, and pecFLOW also comprehensively supports you in this field. The analysis of your data files, which, of course, are only accessible to those responsible with due authorisation, provides you with detailed information on different key figures. In this regard, it is irrelevant whether you expect that the results are prepared in graphical or tabular form. pecFLOW offers you these options and, in addition, variants to export all results in known office formats or as PDF document.
pecFLOW FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS
Do you receive requests, applications or messages from your customers and want to edit and manage them in your management workflow system, too? No problem. pecFLOW provides the suitable variants also in this field. Solutions in the web environment offer here the greatest potential for information exchange between you and your customer.
Web forms and masks for company-internal working can thus also be provided in analogous form for your customers all over the world. The pecFLOW integrated security concept ensures a strict separation between the customer’s internet and your company-internal intranet platform. In addition, the legal requirements of data protection are taken into account.
To reach customers all over the world, pecFLOW has the possibilities to communicate all information in any language.
