Council teams are running on processes that stopped keeping up years ago. SOPs live in one person's head. Service requests live in email. The Word doc everyone was meant to follow hasn't been opened since 2019. The work keeps moving. The processes don't.
Flowingly changes that.
Capture how work actually happens - as staff do it, not weeks later after tearing your hair out formatting screenshots in Word. Turn screenshots, sticky notes, or existing documents into process maps in an instant. Then automate the approvals, handovers, and requests still running on email and good intentions.
One place for the full process journey. Business teams lead it. IT keeps oversight without getting buried in delivery.
Because in government, "the way we've always done it" isn't a process. It's a risk.
