Business process management software  (or BPM Software) helps organizations or individual departments reduce costs, limit errors, maintain compliance, maximize efficiency, and improve employee satisfaction by providing process definition, business process automation, form design, and self-service portal deployment and auditing for areas such as Information Technology, Human Resources, Finance, Sales, Marketing and other types of services.

BPM Software Guide

Visit our free “BPM Guide” and learn more about how you can use business process and BPM workflow management to improve productivity, ensure compliance and improve employee satisfaction.

Nutrient Workflow is designed for either a developer or business user/citizen developer to build and edit their own automated business process unique to their needs. We’ve worked with hundreds of large companies, and no business process is the same. That’s why we don’t try to sell you a pre-built solution that tries to guess what your business needs. You define it and build it (or have us build it) based on your requirements.

Lean on our business process specialists to help you translate your processes using our BPM tools. Once your business process is designed, they can create efficient automated workflows, including routing, approvals, logic, alerts, and integration with your legacy systems.

Easy-to-Use Software for Your Business Process Management Efforts

Nutrient Workflow is the most powerful and easy-to-use workflow BPM Software for companies that need to start effectively automating, optimizing or re-engineering their business workflows. With Nutrient Workflow, your administrators (or our service team) can configure and deploy your processes in days, not weeks. Whether in the cloud, private cloud, or installed on your servers, Nutrient Workflow is designed to simplify the development of online forms, custom workflows, and a simple portal for your employees or customers.

  • Organize forms and processes in a straightforward tree structure.

  • Drag process task elements onto the process canvas to quickly build your process.

  • Generate forms and rapidly deploy them without code.

  • Give users a branded, user-friendly portal to manage requests, tasks, and approvals.

  • Configure alerts to ensure timely approvals and ongoing communication.

  • Collaborate and comment within every process.

  • Easily iterate workflows as part of a process improvement project.

Nutrient Workflow’s software has been shown to reduce direct process and workflow costs by more than 30 percent, cut workflow and process management cycle times in half, and deliver positive ROI in less than 3 months.
