Design, initiate and track business processes

Activities like sales process, bug tracking, help desk tracking etc. cannot be tracked by the traditional project management concept. In these cases there is a single activity that passes through multiple 'steps' or 'phases' in a specific sequence. Celoxis's built-in workflow module enables you to design processes as per your business needs and then enforces that those procedures are followed. The best part is that the end users see a simple, easy to use, custom applications.

Automatic routing based on your rules

The system enforces that the sequence of 'steps' is followed and automatically routes the activity to the next responsible person. For example. assume that in a bug tracing process once a bug is marked as 'fixed' it must go to the tester who can either mark it as 'resolved' or 'failed'. The system will enforce that only one of these actions can be performed and if marked 'failed', routes the bug to the one who fixed it. This enforces uniform business practices that cannot be violated.

Define escalation procedures

Define escalation procedures. For example, in a trouble ticket system you can have the system send an email alert if a ticket is unattended for 24 hours. You can even define more complex SLAs (service level agreements).

Pre-defined reports

Many commonly used reports are already created to help you get started. Tweak these to suit your needs.
