Workflow Automation
Predictiv Workflow Automation transforms manual, paper-based processes into streamlined digital workflows. From purchase approvals to leave requests, every business process can be configured to route automatically to the right people at the right time.
Our workflow engine is deeply integrated with every module—not bolted on as an afterthought. This means workflows have full context: approve a purchase order while seeing the supplier's payment history, budget availability, and previous orders.
Challenges We Solve
Common workflow automation challenges—and how Predictiv addresses them.
Approval Bottlenecks
Documents sit waiting for approval while decision-makers are unavailable or unaware.
Automatic escalation, delegation rules, and mobile notifications ensure approvals never stall.
Process Visibility
No one knows where a request is in the approval chain or why it's delayed.
Real-time workflow tracking shows exactly where every document is and who's holding it up.
Inconsistent Processes
Different people follow different processes, leading to errors and compliance gaps.
Configurable workflow rules enforce consistent processes across the organisation.
Manual Handoffs
Passing documents between departments requires email chains and follow-ups.
Automatic routing moves documents to the next step immediately upon completion.
