Best Process Mapping Tools and Software for 2024

However, none of these cater to business process management and have significant drawbacks.

• Process mapping tools are designed for specialists, leading to a steep learning curve.
• Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is often hard for people to understand and requires training
• Function more as advanced whiteboards rather than data-centric process mapping solutions.
• There is no easy way to organize and understand how the processes are connected
• It’s hard to collaborate between people and departments

If you have tried some of these tools and felt some of the mentioned shortcomings, we urge you to see how ShiftX has a radically different approach to Process Mapping and might be your best choice.

What is a process mapping tool?

A process mapping tool is a software that can significantly improve the way you understand and carry out tasks within your company. By visually outlining your workflows, you can see not only how things are currently done, but also identify opportunities for making your processes more efficient and effective. Get a quick introduction to process mapping.

Simplifying process mapping for everyone

Complexity in understanding process maps is a significant barrier. Tools relying on BPMN, with its myriad symbols, can be daunting. Using PowerPoint instead of process mapping tools can make you focus more on aligning graphics.

ShiftX addresses these issues effectively. It is an intuitive, fast, and user-friendly tool, eliminating the need for complex notations. Its drag-and-drop functionality and straightforward path creation make process mapping accessible to all.

Enhancing collaboration in process mapping

The knowledge about how a business operates is spread throughout the organization. To improve business, gather knowledge and best practices from all employees for process mapping.

With ShiftX, it's easy to involve people and assign ownership to parts of a process. In context, they can add details, content, links, or discuss improvement potential with comments.

Smart and intelligent tool

You can answer questions about where the system is used and what happens before the process." and "Who is responsible for that process?" because everything in ShiftX is data.

If you have ever used Miro, Microsoft Visio, or PowerPoint for process mapping you know it’s like working on a canvas. You cannot view reports on which systems are part of certain processes. You also cannot see the connections between different business processes or the total time a specific path takes in the flow.

With ShiftX you can do all of this and more. We help you and your colleagues see the bigger picture. We explore new perspectives and work on improving your operation.
