Flowable

Intelligent Business Process & Workflow Automation

Flowable Overview

Flowable is a workflow and business process automation platform that lets organizations model, execute, and monitor complex processes using open standards like BPMN, CMMN, and DMN. It blends low‑code design tools, developer APIs, and enterprise‑ready components to support tasks from simple workflow automation to case management in regulated environments. Flowable offers open‑source and subscription editions, and users appreciate its flexibility and extensibility, though technical expertise is often needed for advanced deployments.

Flowable Features

Deploy BPMN 2.0 process definitions Create and manage process instances Run queries on active and historical data REST APIs for HTTP communication IdentityService for users and groups FormService for start and task forms

What Makes It Stand Out:

  • Open Source & Standards‑based approach avoids vendor lock‑in (BPMN/CMMN/DMN).
  • Modular, flexible architecture supports embedding and distributed deployment.
  • Comprehensive suite (Work, Engage, Design, Control, Hub, Inspect) covers the full process lifecycle.
  • Developer‑friendly APIs and extensibility via Java and REST.

Real‑World Advantages by Industry:

  • Financial Services: orchestrate complex case and compliance workflows.
  • Insurance: speed up claims management and case handling.
  • Manufacturing & Supply Chain: automate cross‑system processes.
