GBTEC Process Design helps organizations model, analyze, simulate, and publish business processes.
What GBTEC Process Design is
GBTEC Process Design helps organizations model, analyze, simulate, and publish business processes. Its method editor supports BPMN 2.0, DMN, EPC, VCD, and user-defined methods, while reports cover process profiles, manuals, matrices, cost simulation, and a process warehouse. The Arty assistant offers AI-driven mapping, translation, and modeling guidance. A process portal gives employees personalized dashboards and tools for feedback and discussion; the product also supports approval workflows and a document repository connected to modeled processes. Users can continue modeling in a browser offline and synchronize data when they reconnect. GBTEC lists integrations with SAP, LeanIX, UiPath, and Microsoft, and provides a public REST API that requires authentication. The browser-based product supports current Chrome and Edge versions and the latest Firefox ESR, without a separate client installation. Pricing is tailored and available on request; a 14-day free trial is offered to companies and organizations. Process simulation is not included in the standard license.
