Dedicated to empowering you to automate business processes at speed, here you’ll find quick answers to some of the most common questions we get asked.
FlowForma Process Automation is much more than a workflow tool - it incorporates forms, workflow, document generation, and analytics all in one single easy-to-use interface that promotes adoption in the workplace. FlowForma Process Automation uses its own built in workflow engine that uses simple business logic - 100% no code - to build automated actions, we call these business rules.

"As with any new software there’s a mindset change for people, but it helps that they can see tangible benefits straight away. The more processes I’ve automated, the more the business sees the benefits and the more they want to use it. FlowForma Process Automation is completely different to other SharePoint apps; much more business intuitive."
