actidoo Workflows

Digital processes that belong to your organization

Every process you move onto the engine saves working time and makes the next one easier. We build the workflows for you or enable your team to develop them further.

Case study: Phoenix Contact

An example from manufacturing

Phoenix Contact, an electrical engineering manufacturer with more than 20,000 employees, has moved approvals and requests from purchasing, logistics, IT and administration onto one shared engine. The case study (in German) shows how the project went and what it achieved.

Many processes, but no software that fits

Every organization runs dozens of processes in which someone requests or reports something and others review and approve it. Each one looks different. A purchase approval has little in common with a damage report. Introducing and running separate software for each of them would take a lot of effort. Putting them on one shared foundation saves time every day.

Follow-up questions take longer than the approval

Requests are forwarded and chased, often by several people.

Auditors want proof

An audit asks who approved what and when. That is hard to piece together from email threads.

A process should reach more departments

What works in one department should run in others. Or the number of cases keeps growing.

The current tool no longer fits

A platform is being discontinued, license costs rise, or a low-code solution hits its limits.

Examples by area

In companies of every industry and in public administration.

Purchasing & procurement

Order and procurement approvals, onboarding new suppliers, contract approvals.

IT & permissions

Requests for access and permissions, on- and offboarding, service requests.

HR

Hiring and onboarding, absence and business travel requests, travel expenses.

Finance & controlling

Invoice and payment approvals, budget and investment requests.

Public administration

Internal requests and approvals, co-signing procedures, procurement.

Production & maintenance

Change requests, deviation approvals, damage reports and repair approvals.

Facilities & occupational safety

Ordering mandatory inspections, fault reports, safety briefings.

Compliance & data protection

Risk assessments, whistleblower cases, GDPR access and deletion requests.

Banking & insurance

Loan applications, claims handling, underwriting approvals.

How we work together

You decide how much you take on yourself.

We build it

If you don't have a team of your own for this, we model, build and run your workflows together with your departments. You commission one process at a time.

We enable your team

If you want to do it yourself, we help you set up a small internal team (center of excellence) that builds workflows on its own. Often we build the first workflows and your team gradually takes over.

Support and operation

The engine is open source, but you are not on your own with it. The team that develops it stays with you after the first workflow.

One process at a time

From the pilot to organization-wide use.

After the free initial meeting and a process audit, the first workflow goes live as a pilot.

More departments join and reuse the existing building blocks and integrations.

Each additional process runs on the same engine and costs less as a result. There are no license fees per process.

How the engine works

Versioned software on open standards that your team can develop further without us.

Example of a process as a BPMN diagram: request access, approval by manager, and if approved an automatic step creates the permission in the directory

Example: an access request as a BPMN diagram, with two tasks for people and one automatic step.

  1. 1 Draw the process

    You draw the process as a diagram in the open BPMN 2.0 standard, and the forms in the same modeler's form editor.

  2. 2 Logic in Python

    Wherever something is calculated or another system is called, you write a short Python function. There is a Python library for almost every system.

  3. 3 Like any other software

    The workflows live in a Python package in your repository. Your usual tools apply: version control, code review, tests and CI/CD.

What the engine includes

Forms

Input forms that adapt to each step and validate entries.

Task list

Everyone sees their open tasks in one place. Urgent and overdue tasks are marked.

Substitution & delegation

Built in, so approvals keep moving while people are away.

Single sign-on

Sign-in through your existing login (OIDC/SSO), permissions via roles.

Deadlines

For each task you can set when it counts as urgent or overdue. Deadlines with a follow-up step are part of the process.

History of every case

Every step is logged and can be traced later.
