What is Online Workflow Software?

define workflow online

Online workflow software is a cloud-based tool that automates and tracks the tasks required to successfully complete a business process.

Tasks can be simple, like completing expense forms, or complex like submitting a capital expenditure request for a multi-level, business rule-based review and approval.

These tools can also be referred to as “workflow management software,” “process management software,” or “business process management software.”

Online workflow software allows users to design and deploy automated workflows that:

  • Layout and publish the steps of any work process.

  • Capture information via forms or integration to launch a process.

  • Route task status information to process members.

  • Notify and remind task performers and escalate unfinished tasks.

  • Audit and report on all activity related to the workflow.

How Does Online Workflow Software Work?

Features among online workflow vendors vary greatly, depending on their chosen market. Some focus on providing best-of-breed core features like those below. Others may offer AI, Robotic Process Automation, machine learning, integration with IoT, etc. Depending on your use cases, these advanced features may be well beyond your needs so we’ll focus on the core features.

Workflow Software Core Features

  • Visual tools for developing live process diagrams

  • A variety of task types that can be utilized in the process
