Introduction  

What is workflow automation software?

Workflow automation software uses rules-based logic to automate business processes and reduce or eliminate time-consuming tasks. It can be used for tasks with no human interaction or limited human verification, or it can be used for customized, non-repeatable tasks.

Why automate workflows?

Manual processes can easily disrupt or slow your operations. Lack of transparency and margins of human error can make your business vulnerable to a variety of bottlenecks and inefficiencies that can affect your bottom line. By automating your workflows, you can reduce repetitive tasks, increase efficiency and empower your team members to focus on high-value items.
