Areas of application & typical use cases
Flowable enables end-to-end digitalization of business processes – from classic customer onboarding to contract and service processes through to complex approval and release processes. Case management shows its strengths particularly in dynamic, case-based scenarios, for example in insurance or claims management, in the compliance environment or in customer service, where tasks need to be managed flexibly and adapted to the situation.
In addition, decision automation based on DMN rules ensures consistent, traceable decisions, for example for credit checks, approvals or rules and regulations. The seamless integration of ERP, CRM and DMS systems as well as databases, AI services and messaging channels also allows chatbots and communication services to be integrated directly into service and specialist processes.
This results in holistic automation solutions for sectors such as banking, insurance, industry, public administration, healthcare and telecommunications.
