A reliable solution for low-code automation with great perspectives for further development

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, we are using ELMA365 for 2 workflows: 1) Mass recruitment process. We have 4 distributed groups of users – initiators and their managers, recruiters, and HR administrators. This main problem is being solved – coordination and the possibility to monitor statuses of their job openings. 2) Utility meter devices measurement collection and following data transfer. Upcoming processes to be implemented within ELMA365: 1) contracts and documentation approval process 2) quality control in 100+ bakeries.

Pros

  • It is a great deal in terms of price-quality ratio. We have the option to promptly create applications without detailed formalization of requirements.
  • With Typescript scenarios, the system is rather flexible and provides tools to implement complicated business logic.
  • They have very client-oriented support. Every time we face a problem they are ready to help.
  • Easy to start using the system for both analysts and users.

Cons

  • We want some options using Typescript to become no-code settings. Some of our suggestions were taken in the backlog but we cannot assess so far how quickly new features appear. For us, the development of new features of the main functionality (processes, applications, and their properties) is more necessary than launching completely new modules.
  • There are some limitations on Typescript scenarios that are not in any way documented. For example, we faced a limit of 100 loops while executing a task assigning function. This limit obviously was not reachable during the test period when we tested it on 10 bakeries. Overall, Typescript SDK is not documented properly.
  • Here is one more thing to take into account. If you want to have any serious analytics you can’t get it within ELMA. We extracted our data with API, put it in our database, and made reports within PowerBI. I think the ELMA team should focus on data extraction options (more data available for extraction) rather than developing their analytics module.

Return on Investment

  • Coordination of processes became more simple and less time-consuming
  • The speed of business process automation, management speed, and user comfort has increased significantly

review of ELMA365

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

A great tool for setting up your internal processes. The design is nice, the interface is easy to understand. It doesn’t take you long to learn how all the basic features work, and once you learn how the whole low-code designer works, you can do wonders with it!

Pros

  • workflow automation
  • document management
  • database

Cons

  • Here are some examples of workflows that benefit from fast implementation: invoice approval, contract approval, processing of claims.
  • Also, the CRM features are great for working with orders and managing the entire history of cooperation with your counterparties. Forms can be conveniently designed to fit all the information that you need to have in one place.

Return on Investment

  • helped us streamline the client acquisition process. The tools all work together as one for a smooth operation.

Handy tool for process management

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The main business task that is being solved is the transparency of approval and the possibility for the initiator and the company managers to control the current status of the processes. The company uses ELMA to solve the following tasks: approval of documents project management task management work with documents

Pros

  • tasks
  • business process modeling

Cons

  • It would be great to have more additional modules for different scenarios (for example, employee register, a portal with the birthdays of employees, etc.)

Return on Investment

  • The efficiency of the back office has increased significantly, as well the speed of document approval on the whole.

At the moment, we are testing ELMA365 in our company. We plan to use it for managing e-documents, running contract approval, working with deals in CRM, as well as managing internal tasks. If the system administrator knows TypeScript, any use case is possible with ELMA365.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At the moment, we are testing ELMA365 in our company. We plan to use it for managing e-documents, running contract approval, working with deals in CRM, as well as managing internal tasks.

Pros

  • Introducing changes into a running process
  • Monitoring document approval progress
  • Managing access permissions
  • Deleting/adding/reassigning employees in a running business proces

Cons

  • A two-way connection between the context and an app (at the moment, data or activity streams are not sent from the context to the app)

Return on Investment

  • It's too early to draw conclusions, we are implementing the system in all processes.
