Agresso Business Process Automation

Integrated process, alerts and action management - for businesses living in change

Our process automation and control tools include intelligent and customisable processes, alert and response mechanisms, automated exception handling and flexible configuration tools to suit complex business needs.

Business Process Automation is at the heart of the exceptional productivity gains made possible with Agresso Business World. The workflow, business alerts and process automation capabilities in Business Process Automation alert managers when things go off track, proactively direct supervisors and employees to complete critical tasks and push actionable financial information to executives concerned with controlling costs. This results in continuous improvement in day-to-day operations and more efficient use of the organisation’s people and assets.

The Agresso advantage

Business Process Automation (BPA) takes the built-in agility and seamless integration of the Agresso ERP system to a whole new level, enabling users to fine tune their processes and procedures in response to business changes. Because the data model, process model and delivery model (Reporting and Analytics) are fundamentally linked together by our unique VITA IT architecture, changes only have to be made once – without redoing and rechecking in the other areas. For example, if a reorganisation means the merging of two departments, the changes made to the rules in Agresso’s data model can be automatically reflected in the process model. The new manager will not only get an updated set of P&L reports, but also be automatically sent requests to approve invoices, timesheets, expense claims etc. from all their staff under the new structure.

What it will do for your business

  • Workflow provides visibility into company-wide processes and allows users to look up a specific employee’s involvement, track and report task progress, identify delays and bottle-necks and review performance metrics. This helps organisations to adhere to operational policies and guidelines.
  • IntellAgent establishes a high level of operational control and risk reduction, allowing users to identify and focus
    on exceptions and critical actions, rather than solely relying on the manual generation of reports in order to identify exceptions.
  • Action Overview can alert managers and employees alike, when time-critical events haven’t occurred. It can also act as the means of recording actions performed in response to these prompts, such as: filing a building permit; confirming receipt of a shipment; or awarding a project.

Key Business Process Automation functionality includes:

  • Workflow
  • Automatic monitoring of data and events for critical or time-sensitive conditions
  • Automatic generation of alerts to appropriate employees and/or managers
  • Triggering of user-defined, automated processes, through Action Overview
  • Flexi-fields
