Workflows add-on simplifies processes, boosts efficiency and allows users to accomplish more tasks
INDIANAPOLIS (June 28, 2017) — Formstack, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company with a mission to empower its users through simple and elegant tools that remove the complexity from everyday business processes, today announced the addition of a new product add-on, Workflows.
Workflows combines Formstack’s intuitive online form builder with enhanced workflow automation tools, giving users an easy way to manage company processes. With the Workflows add-on, multiple people in an organization can review, edit and complete a single form while allowing the organization to track the progress.
“Workflows culminated from listening to and understanding our customers’ evolving needs,” said Chris Byers, CEO of Formstack. “Historically, one person fills out a form and the data gets pushed to the right destination. But in talking to our customers, it became clear that forms often start a process that involves multiple people, often across several departments and locations. With this new add-on, we’ve made it possible for our users to easily create multi-step processes using the same intuitive form building capabilities.”
Customers in Formstack’s Early Adopters Program (EAP) have found that the Workflows add-on makes their business processes much simpler for everyone involved.
“The notion of Workflows—this concept that you can have multiple users fill out sections of a form before submission—is going to be such a game-changer for us,” said Jean-Marie Venturini, Instructional Designer at Otis College of Art and Design and Formstack EAP participant. “We’ve been stuck on a lot of our processes, and Workflows is going to be a huge help.”
“I’ve been waiting for Workflows for a long time,” said Mary Kilimas, Network Administrator at Grosse Pointe Public School System and Formstack EAP participant. “With regular forms, I would always come to a roadblock and wish I could do more. Now that it’s here, I’m excited. I can accomplish much more with Workflows.”
Workflows provides a number of benefits for businesses:
- Lets multiple stakeholders review, edit and complete a single form
- Creates automated workflows in minutes that flow across departments and help users quickly complete repetitive tasks
- Eliminates errors by assigning sections of a workflow to different users depending on what they need to review
- Tracks the progress of user workflows and times each step to identify communication bottlenecks and enhance efficiency
- Helps users distribute resources more effectively, accomplish more tasks and keep important initiatives on track for teams
Workflows is the latest of many new Formstack enhancements, including Portals, HIPAA Compliance and Conversion Kit.
