What is engineering workflow management software?

Workflow management software is used to define, automate, and improve an organization's business processes to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and increase productivity.

An engineering workflow software system automates your most important engineering and business processes. Define your work as a series of inter-related workflow steps with assigned deadlines. Assign users to automate repetitive tasks at each step, with detailed instructions and all the documents the user needs linked directly to the assignment along with a desired deadline. Manage engineering workflows using our canvas-like building tool, to easily create, edit, and conceptualize custom workflows. Using simple rule-based logic, you can control the actions of a document at each step, eliminating the need for the manual transfer, deletion, publishing, copying, or archival of documents and drawings.

Advantages of workflow +

Workflow+ allows system admins to automatically adjust user permissions at each step, ensuring your company’s files are managed securely and only when needed or create totally automated lifecycle templates such as for approval routing or archiving.

Workflow+ can be used to manage a wide variety of review and approval processes, and includes a versatile voting feature that can be modified depending on your company’s needs. This module is highly intuitive for all members of your organization, giving permissioned users the ability to create and automate complex engineering workflows in just minutes!

The Workflow management platform automatically notifies users at each step, either through conventional emails or internal notifications that appear in the user's Dashboard, or through both. Users can establish how often they receive internal notifications and through which mechanism they prefer.

Why use engineering workflow management software?

Internally, Workflow+ can be used to create work process automation in small groups or across an organization to vastly increase project efficiency and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Externally, it's a great way to connect with vendors, contractors, and customers. You can utilize Workflow+ to increase productivity and control key document-centric workflows, such as engineering change requests, file distribution, document processing, and document retention. You can even integrate Workflow+ capability with Transmittals and RFIs/Submittals to initiate, track, and report on these key functions.

 

Engineering workflow management

The needs of engineers differ vastly from those of other departments. Organizations can design engineering workflows to manage the review and approval processes needed for quality management and ensuring there are no errors in prior specifications. Workflow+ helps organizations manage engineering workflows and the complex file relationships between them to eliminate human-error from the equation.

Engineering workflow management software can also help a small business improve key metrics like time to market by reducing delays caused by poor or inefficient communication. Using integrated workflows, team members across various departments and organizations can seamlessly communicate changes and express ideas and solutions in a unified environment.

The Discipline of Workflow Schedule Management

Business operations seem more chaotic than ever. The economic swings seem bigger; the labor pool is tighter, more diverse, and more geographically dispersed; the amount of information is enormous; and at the end of the day, management has just become harder. Trying to get your arms around all that’s going on and ensuring the organization is focused on getting the tasks done is now more complex and daunting. Add pandemics, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical uncertainty, and now even historical inflation.

The eQuorum Customer Promise

 

In 2005, eQuorum developed the first all browser-based EDMS. The system, although for on-premise use, was still created to remove client software and JAVA from user computers and allow users to have a single viewer based on the simple navigation functionality of browsers. Today, eQuorum provides that same application in a private Cloud or a SaaS Cloud option.  We can do this because we are, and have always been, browser-based, understanding the enhanced speed, security, and usability of this technology.

With the abundance of document management systems on the market today, there’s no doubt that choosing the right Cloud document management software can be a difficult decision. eQuorum is here to provide a comprehensive, powerful, and most importantly – affordable Cloud document management solution. We believe in providing real value to our customers by eliminating unnecessary costs, providing industry-leading functionality, and equipping your team with the right tools using cutting edge technology to bring your products to market faster.
