FAQ

Whether you're curious about Chronos Workflow features, data handling capabilities, or integration options, we've got you covered.

Is Chronos Workflow only for programmers?
The best business process tools do not need programmers or a whole IT department to create workflows. CWP is web-based enabling business end users to create workflows by themselves. This enables business users to create their own business processes based on real business needs.
Can we match CWP to our corporate branding?
Yes. The system allows you to change the header, the color or font theme according to your corporate branding. Adding your own corporate logo and background image is also possible, no limits.
How long does a CWP implementation take?
Almost all our CWP projects go live in less than 30 days. By using the web-based and built-in workflow designer our customers get processes up and running fast and smoothly. Designing the workflow mapt from scratch can take up to few hours, but many of our customers come with ready process flow charts. Creating the workflow itself typically takes up to 2-7 days depending on complexity, connected document management and filing protocols.

Testing, deployment and final touches can take an extra few days or 1-2 week. The most intensive part of the BPA project is actually getting all the requirements and ensuring that they bring the best solution to your business demands and policies.
Can we import an existing process map?
and which technical method you recommend to follow to make a process implementation faster?

First of all, any process can be imported from MS Visio or ARIS, but we recommend to set up the process design with the built-in graphic process designer within Chronos Workflow. Secondly, if you already have one process in Chronos Workflow than you can simply copy it with ALL its settings (steps, routes, forms, fields, users, you name it) into a new process.

You may rename the copied process and therefore you can also make any changes to get the desired process to run for your business operation or to your partners.
Is CWP only for large companies?
Although many large companies make an investment on Business Process tools, CWP is also cost effective for the smallest company that wants to automate business processes. All kinds of approval and HR processes tend to be the most useful for small companies and and therefore most popular when considering the organizational and cost efficiency gained. These processes also protect small companies by providing proper compliance tracking when it comes to audit, cost approval and tracking and human resources-related processes.
How is CWP priced?
Not at all. Business process tools no longer require large investments in infrastructure and this include Chronos Workflow as well due to its availability on SaaS / Cloud.Chronos Workflow can be priced per user, per site, per server or even per process - whatever suits your business best. CWP enables companies to cut costs by empowering employees to be more efficient. CWP enables them to be more productive at their core activities by simply automating their business processes.Check out PRICING here!
