Major Features

SmartFlow - AI Process Builder and Optimiser

ProcessPro helps you build and optimise your processes with these new tools:

Introducing BPMN Event Nodes (BPMN 2.0)

You can now add event nodes to your process maps and value streams, making it easier to model triggers, messages, and conditions. Use event nodes to show when and how processes start, wait, or end, giving your processes more precision and clarity.

This example demonstrates two different event categories:

  1. Customer address update is a Start — Event Sub-Process Non-Interrupting event type, that allows an address change to be processed alongside the ongoing order flow.

  2. Wait for payment confirmation is an Intermediate — Catching event type. This event cause the process to pause until payment is confirmed by the payment gateway.

Introducing Data Objects and Data Storage (BPMN 2.0)

You can now include data objects and data stores in your process maps to show how information is used, produced, or stored during a process. This adds more context and clarity to your diagrams by highlighting key documents, data inputs, and storage locations.

The below example is from a car insurance claim process. The Accident Report, Photos of Damage, and Repair Estimate are modeled as Data Objects — they are used and updated during the activity 'Submit a claim form with required information'. They flow between tasks but don’t persist once the process is done.

Whereas the Claims Database is modeled as a Data Store: it stores all processed claim records for long-term retention, auditing, and future reference.

Introducing Custom Fields

You can now add Custom Fields such as Purpose, Scope, and SOP Objectives to include more context and detail in your processes. These fields also help ensure that all key information is available when generating Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) using SmartFlow. The below example depicts custom fields for a car insurance claim process displayed in the diagram content menu:


Additional Features

Improved Tags

Our Tags feature has been enhanced to make it more intuitive and clearer. The updated summary screen now shows exactly where tags are used and lets you manage all your object tags in one place. Tags are also easier to use directly on your process map and now appear on the process steps for quick reference. Read more about process tags and activity tags.
