Next4biz BPM:
Process Design and Operating System

Design your business processes: prototype, launch, measure, and continuously improve.
Your process inventory on one integrated platform.

More Than a Workflow Tool

Next4biz BPM is a business process design and management platform that turns process maps into running applications

Next4biz BPM is a business process design and management platform that turns process maps into running applications. In one place, you can design workflows, data models, forms, screens, business rules, permissions, and SLAs — and turn them into enterprise-ready applications with a low-code approach.

Instead of managing tasks and approvals in email threads or spreadsheets, run every step on a single process platform. Your workflows stay traceable, measurable, and easy to improve — with less dependency on IT.

Beyond modeling

Not just a modeling tool — it turns models into automation and runs them.

End-to-end digitization

Teams, departments, dealers, stores, regions, and partners — all stakeholders in processes go digital.

Reduce IT dependency

Business teams can design and iterate; IT steps in only when needed.

Sustainable improvement

Create a repeatable way to standardize and continuously optimize operations.

Low-Code Design

Use editors to design your flows, forms, rules, and all process elements.

With Next4biz BPM, you design not only workflows, but every component of your processes in one place. Business teams can model and iterate using visual drag-and-drop designers for workflows and screens. When you need advanced logic or routing, you can optionally use the platform's smart coding layer for small, targeted scripts.

Workflows, Forms, Data Structures, and Interfaces

  • Design workflows, transitions, and rules with visual editors.
  • Create data fields and forms, and capture the right information at each step.
  • Go beyond traditional data fields: add relational data fields, tabular forms, maps, document upload fields, and more.
  • Create notification messages and manage delays with escalation rules.

Business Rules, SLAs, and Automation

  • Define business rules and connect them to workflows, SLA criteria, automated actions, and notifications.
  • Set time targets for an entire workflow and for individual steps.
  • Track SLAs in real time and take action before breaches happen.
  • Note: For advanced rules or routing algorithms, you can add custom scripts via the smart coding layer—only when needed.

"With design editors, keeping processes up to date becomes simple: adjust, test, and relaunch — turning 'As-Is' into 'To-Be'. "

Prototyping: Bridge the Gap Between Business and Technology

The hardest part of building business software isn't writing code — it is translating how the business works into requirements everyone agrees on. Documents and reports rarely capture the full picture, so projects drift and expectations diverge.

With Next4biz BPM, you create a working prototype early. Business teams can see the screens, workflows, and menus, give feedback, and refine. Each iteration brings the prototype closer to the final application.

BPM Prototyping

Visual Feedback

Teams can see the screens and flows early — before anything goes live.

Turns into Automation

The prototype evolves quickly and turns into the final automation.

Reduces Risk

Catch misunderstandings early and reduce rework.

Common Language

Create a shared view that aligns business and technical teams.

"When needs change, go back to the design, improve it, test again, and relaunch — so your AS-IS quickly becomes your TO-BE. "

Design, Test, and Launch on a Single Platform

With Next4biz BPM, you can manage design, test, and development environments together with the production environment in one platform

With Next4biz BPM, you can manage design, test, and development environments together with the production environment in one platform. Design workflows and screens with low-code, test safely, and publish with a single click.

Iterate & Improve

Update your process design whenever needs change — without starting from scratch.

Test Before Launch

See the impact of a change before promoting it to production.

Easy Deployment

Promote approved designs to production without disruption.

"When needs change, go back to the design, improve it, test again, and relaunch — so your AS-IS quickly becomes your TO-BE. "

Measure, Analyze, and Continuously Improve

Bring all your process data into one place — then use it to improve

Next4biz BPM brings together process data that used to live across PCs, inboxes, spreadsheets, and documents. When a process runs digitally end-to-end, every step becomes visible, measurable, and ready for improvement.

Reports and Dashboards

  • Build reports, charts, and dashboards with drag-and-drop.
  • Track KPIs, spot trends, and improve continuously.
  • Categorize issues by process and identify the root causes of delays.
  • Measure performance transparently across users, departments, suppliers, and partners.
  • Create role-based dashboards that support faster decisions.
  • Drill down from high-level KPIs to individual cases and steps.
  • Export to spreadsheets or connect Next4biz BPM to your existing BI/reporting tools.

AI-Powered Process Intelligence

Advanced AI capabilities for process analytics and automation

Coming Soon

Advanced Analytics with Anomaly.net

Every BPM system generates event logs — time-stamped records of what happened, when, and by whom. They reflect the real flow of work, along with exceptions, delays, and deviations.

Spotting anomalies in your processes is critical for operational excellence. Anomalies may signal inefficiencies, bottlenecks, compliance risks, or issues that can turn into real cost. Without detection, they stay hidden in large volumes of process data — making proactive improvement difficult.

How Anomaly.net Works

The upcoming Anomaly.net module will analyze your process logs using multi-graph structures, graph neural networks (GNN), and Transformer-based architectures to detect anomalies, non-standard flows, and bottlenecks. It works with both design-time process models and production data. So you get insight across the full process lifecycle.

Multi-Graph Architecture

Uses advanced multi-graph structures to capture complex relationships and patterns in process data that traditional methods miss.

Graph Neural Networks

Leverages GNN technology to learn from process structures and detect anomalies with superior accuracy compared to traditional approaches.

Transformer Architecture

Employs Transformer-based models for faster training and prediction, achieving up to 60% reduction in processing time while maintaining high accuracy.

Design & Production Data

Works with both design-time process models and production event logs, providing comprehensive anomaly detection across the entire process lifecycle.

Research & Development

Anomaly.net is backed by our research published in IEEE Access (Q1, H-index 247). In our experiments, the deep learning model achieved up to 22% better anomaly-detection performance than state-of-the-art approaches, while Transformer optimization reduced training and prediction time by up to 60%.

We validated the model on both private and public datasets, including injected real-world anomaly scenarios — supporting its suitability for production use and process optimization.

Anomaly.net takes process analytics beyond reporting — helping you spot what's unusual, understand why it happens, and take action.

Planned for Late 2026

From Natural Language to BPMN: Text2BPM

As part of our R&D roadmap, Text2BPM aims to convert natural-language process descriptions into BPMN 2.0-compliant workflows. Planned for late 2026, it will combine large language models (LLMs), knowledge graphs (KG), and graph neural networks (GNNs) in a single hybrid framework.

Real Data Training

Trains domain-specific models on real, anonymized process data from Next4biz BPM.

KG-Supported LLM

Uses knowledge-graph-supported LLMs to reduce hallucinations and produce machine-verifiable process models.

Decision Support

Adds an intelligent, interactive decision-support layer for continuous process improvement.

"Today you design and run processes with low-code; tomorrow you'll generate and refine them from natural language. "

Control Access and Involve Every Stakeholder

Roles, Permissions, and Assignment Rules

Import or define your org structure, roles, users, and groups in Next4biz BPM. Then build processes that match your business rules — and integrate with your identity and HR systems.

  • Customize roles, permissions, and assignment rules as needed.
  • Include suppliers, partners, agencies, service providers, shipping companies, and other stakeholders as user groups.
  • Give each role the steps and data they need — nothing more, nothing less.
  • Control who can view or edit each field based on process status, step events, user group, and many other variables.

Users see and do only what they are allowed to — on web or mobile, from anywhere. They can start processes or work on tasks assigned to them directly from their task list.

Mobile BPM for Field Operations

Next4biz BPM offers iOS and Android apps that bring field teams into your processes. Field users can open their task lists, complete steps, capture photos and documents, and submit forms right from the field.

  • Execute tasks on the go with the same role-based permissions as the web.
  • Capture photos and documents and attach them directly to the workflow step.
  • Submit forms in the field and keep every action traceable end-to-end.

iOS & Android Apps

Native apps for smooth field work

"Next4biz BPM works wherever your teams work — at the office, in the field, and across your entire ecosystem. "
