Features

Processes

• Visual, dynamic, canvas-based process modelling
• Folders and tags for organising processes
• Responsibility tracking
• Risk administration
• Notes, questions and warnings can be added anywhere

Runs

• Log process execution
  • Manually: coworkers click a button to report that they have completed a step
  • Automated: software uses an API to report that it has performed (part of) a process
• Detailed average throughput time breakdown per process step
  • Useful to see where processes can be optimised
  • Totals per process and relative standard deviation for each calculated average are also calculated

Organisation

• Dashboard with process list and recent runs
• Role-based access control (RBAC)
• Filterable audit log (accessible for organisation “owner”/admin only)
• Multi-tenancy: one company with multiple branches can provide a separate Way domain to each of its branches
  • Users and user management are shared between organisations, so one user (with one account, one password) can be granted access to multiple Way domains simultaneously
  • Users with access to multiple domains can navigate to another organisation through the user menu
• Single Sign-on (SSO) possible through the OpenID Connect protocol
  • Compatible with Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace SSO, Auth0, Okta etc.

Integrations

• Almost everything is accessible through an HTTP API
  • Documented using the OpenAPI standard, hence simple to use
• Import any document (currently Word, PDF, TXT, Claris Connect)
  • Way will figure out how to draw a process from it (using AI)
• Single Sign-on (see under organisation)
