Workflow Software:
Smart Overview for Decision-Makers
Automation is not a goal,
but a necessity for future-proof growth
Progress Begins with Smart Automation
In a market where technology never stands still, smart workflow automation is the key to continuity, efficiency, and growth. Organizations that invest today in the right digital path not only create an advantage but also secure the flexibility and agility required for tomorrow. EasyData guides you in this as an independent knowledge partner, so you don’t have to digitize, but actually want to innovate, and that on your own terms.
Workflow software forms the foundation for better collaboration, faster decision-making, and reliable data quality. By automating manual steps and streamlining processes, you reduce error margins and increase transparency within your organization.
Modern workflow solutions are no longer just for IT, but connect everyone involved in your business: from finance to operations and from management to the shop floor. You benefit from adaptive technology that moves with changing requirements, offers flexibility for growth, and maintains complete control over data, compliance, and integration with existing systems. This keeps your organization future-proof and agile.
What Exactly is Workflow Software?
Workflow software automates the steps in your business processes – from the moment a customer requests a quote until the invoice is paid. Instead of manually forwarding documents, requesting approvals, and giving status updates, the software handles this automatically.
Think of it as a digital guide for your business processes: every task automatically knows where it needs to go, when it needs to be done, and who is responsible for it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Workflow Software
What is the difference between workflow software and project management software?
Workflow software automates recurring business processes (such as order processing or invoicing), while project management software manages one-time projects. Workflow software works continuously in the background, project management software is used for specific goals with a beginning and end.
Can EasyData integrate with my current systems?
Yes, EasyData integrates with all common business software such as CRM systems, ERP systems, accounting software, and Office 365. We use standard APIs and can also create custom integrations when needed.
How long does it take for workflow automation to deliver ROI?
The timeline for ROI depends on various factors. In the first three months, organizations typically see 20-30% time savings on repetitive tasks such as document approvals, direct cost savings through less manual work, and improved accuracy with fewer errors. Full ROI is usually achieved within 6-18 months when complete process integration delivers 40-60% efficiency gains, scalability benefits arise with growing document volumes, and higher employee satisfaction and customer experience manifest.

Absolutely. EasyData cloud solutions use a Dutch datacenter with ISO27001 certification and is fully GDPR-compliant. Your data never leaves the Netherlands and you always retain full ownership and control over your data.

Start with processes that consume a lot of time and repeat often: order processing, invoicing, approvals, document management, and customer communication. These usually provide the fastest ROI and greatest time savings for your team.
What does workflow automation with EasyData cost?
Costs vary by company size and complexity. For a typical SME business, the investment ranges between €125 to €300 per month, but this is usually recouped within 3-6 months through efficiency gains.
