Workflows are built using the Smartflow app builder which provides an easy way to create workflow forms and screens without or limited need for additional programming.
This functionality can be added to any of your Apps by using the platform, hence minimizing the costly time spent on design, development and integration.
Smartflow creates a "Hybrid" App: a combination of a standard platform and specific customizations needed to fit your needs. By adding the functions specific to your organisation and processes to the Smartflow foundation, you can have your app up and running quickly, systematically and cost effectively.
A platform independent App
Smartflow uses the latest proven technologies to create mobile applications. Your app can be used on any of the major mobile platforms like Windows, Windows Phone, Android, iOS and most recent web browsers. The generic Smartflow App provides a smooth and user friendly experience. It allows users to work both on- and offline mode, so work can continue even when an internet connection is not available. Smartflow is suitable for the most demanding Enterprise App scenarios where performance, security and integration are of the essence.
A comprehensive management webportal ‘Smartflow Studio’
The included portal component allows you to perform any of the actions needed to run the mobile platform successfully. It can be run on any device connected to the internet using the most recent web browsers. It offers functionalities for building app forms, configuring users, managing access permissions, monitoring workflow progress, communication etc. In addition, the studio allows for near real-time access to any data that is held within the workflows and the analysis and reporting thereof. With Smartflow, users have access to information in their mobile processes anytime, anywhere on any device.
