What is Chronos Workflow Platform: no-code workflow automation and document management with built-in AI

Chronos Workflow Platform (CWP) is a no-code business process automation and document management platform from Chronos Systems. Business users design, run and change their own workflows, such as approvals, requests, contracts, HR and back-office processes, without developers. Every plan includes unlimited users and processes, and CWP runs in the cloud or on your own servers.

Who CWP is for

CWP fits mid-size and large organizations that need to automate the internal processes their ERP and other systems do not cover. It also suits teams that want to change their processes themselves, instead of waiting for IT. Customers use it in banking and insurance, manufacturing, pharma and biotech, and MedTech and diagnostics, and in finance, accounting and HR departments.

Core features

  • Graphical process designer. Draw processes with sub-processes, splits, joins and loops, or import them from Microsoft Visio or ARIS.
  • Process Wizard. Set up a new process in a few clicks: eForms, process owners, routing conditions, and notifications.
  • Customizable eForms. Build a form for each process step from 50+ field types, control what each step can see, and capture photos, QR codes and barcodes on mobile.
  • One To-Do list. Every user sees all open tasks from every process in one place, with deadlines, priorities and escalation emails.
  • Document management (e-Library). Folders, check-in and check-out, version history, metadata-based filing, WordMerge templates and time-stamped e-signatures.
  • Reports and audit trail. Statistical and performance reports, scheduled reports, Excel export, real-time dashboards and a full, change-by-change audit trail.
  • Integrations. SAP and other ERP systems through web services, Active Directory, database queries inside forms, and many connections such as Wrike and n8n.
  • Multi-language. Built-in language management and switching for cross-border teams, with 15+ languages available today.

AI-powered tools

AI features are built into the platform, so users get help where they already work.

  • ‍AI invoice processing. Upload scanned invoices: AI reads them, extracts the selected information and fills it into the process fields, ready for approval.
  • AI summaries. Condense long documents or text into a short overview.
  • AI Assistant. Ask questions about your processes in plain language. Answers come from your CWP data, link straight to the related forms, and show only what each user is allowed to see.
  • Generative AI in forms. Write, rewrite and polish text directly in process eForm fields, such as descriptions, justifications or summaries.

AI queries use third-party AI models and have a usage cost. For regular, repeated reports, the built-in report generator remains the no-extra-cost option.

How fast can you go live?

Most CWP projects go live in less than few days. A simple process with 2–10 steps takes from a few hours to 1–2 days to set up. A complex process with 11–70+ steps takes 3–7 days for a key user, with no coding. The Getting Started Guide shows the 7 steps from process map to live workflow - check out Downloads.

Deployment and pricing

Every plan includes workflow, document management, reporting, audit trail and built-in AI features, with unlimited users and processes.

Subscriptions start at EUR 899 per month, and perpetual licenses at EUR 21,990 (net prices, excluding VAT, support and consultation). See the pricing page for current plans.

Security and compliance

CWP is developed by Chronos Systems, an ISO 9001 and ISO/IEC 27001 certified company founded in 1999, and is built to support GDPR. Its job-based security model shows each process and document only to its participants, process owners and assigned readers.
