Tip #1: Automate your business processes using Orchestly

Today's organizations function like a modern-day Hercules. From juggling new ideas, to implementing and defining key features, the daily tasks can seem overwhelming. Our teams are smart, but the hustle between documents and spreadsheets might bury important tasks underneath a growing pile of work. We wondered if we could help streamline your processes.

 

Orchestly, a business orchestration platform to design, automate, and analyze all your business processes focuses on everything from simple workflows to complex activities. You can plan every detail and track the progress of tasks as they move through your team. 

Let us consider a real-time scenario. Amir runs a manufacturing company with an international customer base. Every customer request has to be processed, monitored, and delivered within the expected timeline. Tracking the requests manually might prove to be inefficient and time-consuming. So, Amir opts to automate the requests using Orchestly. 

Layouts

Layouts are online forms built to capture data from the customers. 

 

Amir creates layouts for different manufacturing services provided by the organization. Customers fill these digital forms to initiate new requests (read jobs).

Blueprint

Blueprint lets you design a step-by-step flowchart for your organizational processes using a drag-and-drop flowchart builder. 

 

Amir designs blueprints to support the different workflows handled by the organization. Blueprints can also be configured to assign responsibilities, trigger webhooks, and associate custom functions.

Jobs

Work items requested by the customers are called jobs. 

 

Amir’s customers can create jobs to initiate requests. These requests are assigned to individual users or teams in the organization. This helps users to ascertain accountability for every step in the process, identify the next step to be executed, and calculate the time consumed by each user in every step.

Reports

Reports provide powerful insights into the efficiency of the organization’s workflows. 

 

Using reports, Amir measures the time taken by each user to perform different steps in the workflow, identifies bottlenecks, and refines the processes to improve the organization’s productivity.

Orchestly thus helps Amir to plan, run, and monitor all the workflows on a code-free business orchestration platform. 

 

Orchestly will be a part of the Zoho One bundle in a couple of months. You can also manage your work on the go with our iOS and Android apps.
