Product Details

What is Kissflow?

Kissflow is a low-code platform for custom application development tailored to business operations. Kissflow empowers process owners and IT developers to automate and build processes and applications for internal business operations.


Kissflow helps to solve two main challenges in the enterprise:

The first is the custom application backlog. Enterprise IT teams say “not now” to most custom application requests from business teams. While important to a department, they aren’t vital enough to engage limited IT bandwidth. Kissflow gives internal developers a platform to build various applications quickly.

The second is starting a citizen development program. Process owners are scattered throughout the organization and need a standard, approved, and governed way to build automated applications that are a step up from spreadsheets. With its no-code design, patented rules engine, and comprehensive governance module, the Kissflow platform fulfills the requirements for citizen development.

Teams can build a wide variety of solutions on Kissflow, from custom multifunctional applications to automated human-centric processes, workflows, case management, and project management.

Kissflow states that brands such as Pepsi, McDermott, Motorola Solutions, and Danone, currently rely on Kissflow to transform middle-office operations.

KiSSFLOW has proven to be a versatile tool for streamlining business processes in a variety of industries and organizations. Users have found that by digitizing forms and automating workflows, they can eliminate paper trails and significantly improve efficiency. For example, local companies have been able to replace their manual approval processes with KiSSFLOW, allowing for cloud-based submission and approval from anywhere. This has not only saved time but also improved responsiveness to requests as users can easily track the progress of workflows and take necessary actions to move them forward.

One of the key strengths of KiSSFLOW is its flexibility in accommodating different workflows. An entire college, for instance, uses KiSSFLOW for approximately 25 different workflows ranging from new employee requests to new course requests. The integration with G-Suite has also been highly appreciated by users, as it allows for easy editing and the convenience of receiving workflow requests via email with reminders. This has made it approachable for users who may not be familiar with complex workflow management systems.

The benefits extend beyond administrative processes as well. KiSSFLOW has been effective in managing media campaign project proposals, ensuring form enforcement, centralized information repository, and streamlined workflow management. In sales teams, KiSSFLOW helps submit prospective client credit and setup information, reducing reliance on multiple emails and expediting the account setup process.

Overall, KiSSFLOW proves to be a valuable tool for businesses looking to automate their workflows and improve operational efficiency. Its ability to handle various use cases across different departments and industries makes it a versatile solution that addresses issues such as lack of information, operational control, and improves overall efficiency and service quality.

Clear and Intuitive User Interface: Users have consistently praised the clear and intuitive user interface of Kissflow, making it incredibly easy to use and navigate. Many reviewers have expressed their appreciation for how easily they can see workflow tasks assigned to them, as well as workflows they have participated in or are pending approval from others. The user-friendly interface allows for quick and efficient completion of tasks.

Cloud-based Accessibility: The cloud-based nature of Kissflow is highly valued by users, with many expressing their appreciation for the ability to access the software from any internet-connected device. This eliminates the need to be on a specific network and makes it convenient for users who are always on the go. The accessibility ensures prompt response to tasks, avoiding bottlenecks.

Automation Capabilities: Users have highly praised the automation capabilities of Kissflow, noting that it significantly reduces the need for paper in menial tasks and enables the automation of entire processes. This feature has been particularly appreciated by educational institutions as it eliminates manual paper-based processes such as obtaining signatures or initials.

Difficulties in Reusing Existing Tasks: Some users have expressed frustration with the lack of a copy-paste function when creating workflows in Kissflow, making it challenging to reuse existing tasks across different branches. This can be particularly inconvenient when only minor tweaks are required.

Limited Flexibility in User Interface: Reviewers have noted that the user interface of Kissflow lacks flexibility. They feel that having options to group apps under categories or customize the look and feel of the page would greatly enhance their experience and improve usability.

Learning Curve for Transitioning from Paper-Based Processes: Customers who have transitioned from paper-based processes to Kissflow have mentioned that there is a learning curve involved, especially for non-visual learners. Additional training and support may be necessary to help employees adapt to the change effectively.

Users commonly recommend the following:

Start with simple apps and gradually build skills. This approach allows users to develop the necessary skills and understanding of the platform without overcomplicating workflow processes.

Set up a proper step-by-step flow from the start. Ensure that all necessary users have access to approve, which helps maintain an efficient flow and prevents bottlenecks or delays in the process.

Utilize Kissflow's customization capabilities to create customized workflows tailored to specific business needs. This allows for more optimized processes and better alignment with company requirements.

We use it for PO approval and receiving items. Then sync Kissflow to our accounting software so the information could sync automatically once built out and mapped. We also use Kissflow for vendor reregistration purposes. Which then syncs the information into our account system Sage Intacct with the vendor's information including uploading the attachment (W9). Along with an approval process. This makes adding vendors across multi-state locations easy.
  • building workflows
  • approval from email
  • setup and organizing of data sets
depending on the size of the company using the software and the purpose Kissflow is alright. It seems to be geared towards smaller companies that are not using robust accounting software and don't need real PO receiving tracking. Kissflow is a great simple solution but do not have the options to edit POs once they've been approved. The item mapping is also limited.

We switched to Kissflow [School Cloud] for two different workflows in our school district. In just implementing one to replace another company, we saved more than 60% of the cost of the other company ($23K to $9K). It was a bit challenging to get set up but that was because we didn't have the correct point person to set it up. It has been easy after the set up. We really need to expand it and add additional district workflows, including on boarding and tracking position requests.
  • Ease of use
  • Clear for users
  • Staff can track work more easily
We've used Kissflow [School Cloud] in order to track parent requests for transportation in the SpEd department. It has been user friendly for parents to input a request and staff to review, double check school sites and locations, and set up specific routes to meet the needs of students and communicate the info back to parents.

We use KiSSFLOW throughout the organization. KiSSFLOW helps organize the decision-making process by making sure all the steps in the process are followed the right decision-makers and taskmasters get the materials needed at the right time in the process. KISSFLOW has really reduced the decision-making time and the entire process function time making us more efficient. we use KISSFLOW for several multi-step decisions and multi-step processes.
  • Process - Course changes, additions, and cancellations.
  • Decision-making - Program course substitution requests
  • Decision-making - Course prerequisite waiver requests
  • Decision-making -Approval of intern site requests
As mentioned, KiSSFLOW really excels with the routing of questions, decision-making, and the execution of tasks when those entities are not in close proximity. KiSSFLOW instantly delivers the question or task to the next decision-maker or taskmaster using the internet. Thus distance is not an issue, snail-mail does not apply. KiSSFLOW does a nice job of tracking and archiving all activities for complete control and verification.

We use KiSSFLOW across multiple departments to streamline our business processes. The way our company is structured, administrators have forms, emails, and paper coming from every direction. KiSSFLOW allows us to generate a form containing all this information that is then digitally passed along a chain of approvals, while also retaining the information acquired and making it searchable.

From Capital Purchase Orders to Travel Requests, we've found a multitude of ways to automate our processes. Instead of leaving a paper trail from desk to desk among offices, to having a cloud-based platform that allows users to submit and approve from almost anywhere and keep track of the progress, KiSSFLOW allows us to focus on other aspects of our business.
  • Ease of Use: It's easier to use and see workflow tasks that are assigned to you, workflows that you've participated in, or workflows that are pending other peoples approvals. From a development side, it's easy to pick up and begin creating processes if you know Excel formulation, which is easily researched as well.
  • Ease of Access: Since KiSSFLOW is hosted in the cloud, you can access the site from any internet connected device. All you have to do is sign in with your account, as opposed to needing to be on the network to access like our previous system.
  • The App: This is a feature we really hope to get a lot of use out of. With the way our business is structured, there are a lot of Regional positions that are always on the go. Because our current system requires a user to be on the network to access, this makes it hard for these roles to respond to tasks, causing bottlenecks. With an app available, along with push notifications, we can keep these tasks responses on pace with the associates required in that task.
KiSSFLOW is very flexible to company size, and with webhooks and Zapier functionality built-in, it's great if you want to run automated or manual workflow processes, or a combination of both.

With our company structure, there are many paths a workflow can take that get funneled up the chain, which would be a mess of paper (and desks) trying to approve, track, and retain. With Reporting features built in, it's easy to do all 3 of those, while streamlining the processes and being able to retain the approvals behind them.

KiSSFLOW is Awesome!

It will be used across our entire organization. Our department is currently getting it to a functional capacity for our use and then will add other departments. This will ease our workflow process with objections and get rid of the multiples of emails that we may have to save. This program will help keep the responses organized and clean for our later reference.
  • It is very easy to use.
  • Our users up to this point are impressed by its clarity.
  • The benefits it provides, such as comment space.
  • Quick helpdesk support.
It is very easy to use and even though it wasn't specifically designed for what our company wanted to use it for, I found ways that we can make it work for us. Once that was figured out, coding different variables and testing added spots was easy to figure out. They have great help desk support and quick turnaround times.

Quite useful when information and control of the business processes is needed!

Currently we are implementing Kissflow across the whole organization to address business problems such as lack of information of the operation of the business, control of the operation and to improve efficiency and the quality of our services.
  • Reports of the business process
  • Assurance that employees comply with the different business processes
  • Communication and data flow across the different departments of the organization
Until now I have found Kissflow appropriate for scenarios where companies need better control and information of their business processes.

KiSSFLOW is a Great Workflow Management Tool!

Our organization is using KiSSFLOW to manage our media campaign project proposals. It is used mainly for our sales team but touches on other departments as well. Prior to using KiSSFLOW, we had issues with workflow management, enforcing forms to be filled in, who to activate once the form was filled and having a standard centralized repository of information.
  • We love how customizable designing the form is. We're able to add a variety of input texts and conditional logic.
KiSSFLOW is a great tool for streamlining processes. I wish it was a bit more flexible in handling communication amongst team members involved in particular tasks.

KiSSFLOW is being used by one group in our organization. Software is being used to track the full lifecycle of our product from managing requests that come into the queue to developing the product and then operationalizing it. This tool adds a tremendous amount of transparency to our production and research process and successfully manages the hand-offs that occur between the different teams.
  • Adds transparency to our research and development process
  • Successfully manages hand-offs between different teams
  • Is very easy to tweak a process, allowing for users to easily optimize flow
KiSSFLOW is very well suited for business units that follow a defined workflow (or that should be following a defined workflow). Additionally, the software is useful for any organization that requires the following of a standard SOP (be it for expense reporting, contract sourcing, etc.).
This software is not well suited for business units that want to complete one-off projects. There are other software that do this (i.e. JIRA).
