Classic BPM suites (such as Signavio) are powerful: deep BPMN modelling, analysis and governance — built for process experts and large-scale projects. ProcessCollector takes the fast, pragmatic route — for everyone, not just experts.

Why teams switch

What ProcessCollector concretely does better day to day:

Productive in days, not months

The fast, pragmatic route — instead of a long modelling and consulting project.

For everyone, not just experts

No BPMN required: everyone on the team contributes and gets the processes at a glance.

AI does the heavy lifting

Automatic structuring from text plus optimization suggestions — from day one.

Not a tool for everything

If you want maximum BPMN depth, formal modelling rigor or deep process simulation, classic BPM suites sit closer. If you want to be productive in days, with no BPMN required, for everyone — then ProcessCollector.

FAQ

Is ProcessCollector a BPM tool?

Technically we share building blocks; in practice we go the other way: automatic capture instead of heavy modelling — usable by everyone, not just experts.

We already have Signavio or similar — now what?

Existing docs can serve as raw material — ProcessCollector activates process knowledge quickly and with a low barrier, alongside or replacing.

Do I need BPMN knowledge?

No. You write down workflows and structure emerges automatically. No BPMN course needed.
