AUTOMATE

Orchestrate and visualize business-critical workflows.

Building the required workflows

The uniFLOW sysHUB Workflow Designer enables organizations to build, automate, and visualize customer-specific, business-critical workflows without sacrificing governance or clarity. It provides workflow orchestration for document‑centric and integration‑heavy processes. In addition, it creates visual workflow maps that improve understanding across IT and operations teams. This approach enables faster implementation and documentation by relying on clear, shareable workflows.

Simple workflow creation with drag-and-drop

The Workflow Designer supports both straightforward and advanced automation through modular building blocks. Workflows scale from simple routing to complex, multi-step orchestration.

Workflow elements
  • Notes – Add inline documentation to improve maintainability and long-term ownership
  • Startpoints and Endpoints – Define where a workflow starts and where it finishes
  • Processes and Process Loops – Add one or more processing steps and optionally repeat steps when required
  • Decisions – Route workflows based on attributes such as file type (for example: PDF, XML, XPS). For example, route A handles .pdf while route B handles .xml
  • Workflows and Workflow Loops – Reuse existing workflows as building blocks and optionally loop them
  • cElements – Use preconfigured, reusable workflow components to accelerate common scenarios. For example, to establish a connection to uniFLOW (on-premises) for output management

Low-code workflow automation and with almost 700+ prebuilt processes

Image

The Workflow Designer includes nearly 700 internal standard processes to support low-code workflow automation, reducing the need for specialized development skills.

  • Prebuilt processes help teams assemble workflows quickly
  • Low-code approach supports building, implementing, and maintaining workflows without deep software development expertise
  • Flexible composition enables both simple workflows and advanced automation chains

Powerful workflow debugging - Down to the last detail

The Workflow Debug View provides in-depth visibility into execution behavior, supporting rapid troubleshooting and reliable operations.

  • Step-by-step monitoring across the whole process chain during execution
  • Detailed execution insights to accelerate failure analysis and root-cause identification
  • Persisted troubleshooting data stored in an internal sysHUB database for later review

Operational benefit: shorter incident resolution cycles and greater confidence in the reliability of business-critical workflows.

Increase efficiency – Automate business-critical processes

uniFLOW sysHUB empowers organizations to automate complex and mission-critical business processes through configurable workflows. By eliminating manual input, sysHUB reduces errors and data loss while significantly improving:

  • Process efficiency
  • Transparency
  • Processing speed

How uniFLOW sysHUB initiates workflows

Workflows in sysHUB can be triggered automatically through various mechanisms:

  • Input channels – For example, the uniFLOW sysHUB Hot Folder detects files placed for processing (e.g., converting PDF to PCL XL) and automatically initiates the corresponding workflow.
  • Schedulers – Define specific times to trigger workflows, such as daily execution at 3 a.m., ensuring timely and consistent processing.
  • Listeners – Monitor external events to start workflows. For example, sysHUB can wait for a website request to retrieve data, then initiate the appropriate process.

These flexible initiation methods allow sysHUB to seamlessly integrate into existing IT environments, ensuring reliable and scalable automation.

  • Why scalable, reliable workflow automation matters

  • Workflow visualization improves alignment across IT, operations, and compliance stakeholders.
  • Low-code automation accelerates delivery and reduces dependency on scarce development resources.
  • Reusable components and prebuilt processes support standardization across departments and sites.
  • Decision-based routing enables governance for diverse document types and inputs.
  • Improve user experience with flexible login options.
  • Debug visibility strengthens reliability by reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR).
  • Documentation-ready workflow diagrams simplify audits, handovers, and change management.
