The Workflow management module is a set of advanced tools which permit users to plan how business processes should be performed, and then manage and control those processes. The use of schedules and sign-offs ensure that critical business functions are completed accurately and efficiently. Workflow is integrated into the Infoflo ERP system. With Workflow, each business process is broken down into major stages. Each stage becomes a checklist of activities to be performed — by whom, by when, including conditional items. Work is routed to specific departments and individuals, rather than users having to find their work.
