5 features that all Business Process as a Service tools must have

1- UX: User experience

Modeling business processes is a challenging activity, requiring a lot of knowledge, practice, study, and patience.

Even so, the interface of a cloud-based Business process as a service tool should never be unpleasant, poorly laid out or require complex commands that are difficult to understand without reading a manual.

Intuitiveness and usability should be the rule, allowing you to do your job with much more joy, it should be easy to understand by others, including other professionals less accustomed to BPM and especially customers, both internal and external.

HEFLO offers an extremely pleasant and easy to operate interface. Check it out!

2- Documentation capable software

After making all the modeling and process improvement, one of the most critical phases of BPM is documentation.

It is from there that knowledge will be preserved and transmitted, manuals, training resources, and reports will be created. Therefore, future users and analysts will be able to understand the process better, to follow continuous improvement.

Therefore, it doesn’t make sense for a business process as a service tool to only offer modeling without generating documentation.

So, HEFLO not only helps you analyze and improve processes but it also automatically provides one-click layout documentation that is pleasing and easy to understand, all this in a click of the mouse.

3- Teamwork

With a business process as a service tool, your diagrams, flows and documentation can be accessed by the entire team, whenever and wherever they are, allowing excellent collaborative work, even in different countries, with all ideas, options and flow adjustments made in real time.

You will delight your customers with instantly modeled process flows. Made by an analyst or consultant who’s potentially in a location miles away.

4- Process Library

Replicating successful processes, creating standardized flows, and even consulting old projects to create new ones is only possible if your Business process as a service tool can archive all flows in an easy-to-find and then edit way.

HEFLO not only relies on this process library but periodically provides some free templates for solutions tested by subject matter experts so you can get inspired and then edit as you like.
