Features

One place for your processes, their variants and every change

Global template, local variants

Model a process once and derive a variant for each instance: a site, a country, a business unit or a system installation.

  • See exactly how a process runs in one instance
  • Outdated variants are flagged when the template moves on
  • Compare a variant with the template it is based on

Changes linked to process steps

A register of changes: what changed, why, when and by whom, from system configuration to new ways of working.

  • Link each change to the steps it affects
  • Filter by site, team, system or process
  • Keep the ticket link and the business reason with every change

Version history and visual comparison

Every saved change becomes a new version with a mandatory comment. Nothing is overwritten.

  • Open any previous version of any process map
  • See added, removed and changed steps highlighted
  • Review and approve before a version is published

Compare versions

See exactly what changed, and why

Put any two versions side by side: the global template against a local variant, or last year’s process against today’s. Added, removed and changed steps are highlighted, with the changes linked to them.
