Features

With Minit you can enjoy an extreme performance, sophisticated collaboration, robust connectivity options, BI tool integration and much more.

Process discovery and process mapping

All actions that are taken by individuals within any business process, including actions performed by the IT system, leave traces in the form of event logs. Minit uses these logs to discover the process and create an interactive process map. Minit accurately visualizes all the variants of the process and lets you filter and drill down into the details based on different metrics.

Process improvement opportunities

Minit automatically analyzes your business process and detects hidden vulnerabilities. Minit highlights process variants that differ from the most common process path and makes it easy to spot inefficiencies and process steps that are taking up time and driving up costs. You can spot where time gets lost through bottlenecks, unnecessary detours, or where compliance issues may arise.

Detect process bottlenecks

Minit shows you the frequency of individual process steps and also processing times. Apply filters to see total and mean times, and determine optimal processing times, fastest paths, identify most productive team members, most reliable suppliers and much more. Minit will also detect delays caused by the inefficient integration between different systems used within the process.

Compare processes

Compare different processes to drive continuous process improvement. Spot differences between regions, departments, teams or just to compare different time periods. Compare different views, filtered by various criteria, visually, as well as on data level. You can also compare specific Activity/Path and Social Networks. Minit makes it easy to find the best performing process and learn from it.

Sophisticated collaboration

Anytime your analysis comes to an important point, you can save it as a View and discuss the results and steps that took you there with colleagues. With a newsfeed in every View, you can save all important private notes and shared team conversations for future reference. When words are not enough, take an interactive snapshot of the state of your analysis. When colleagues open it, they can see what you saw and continue working.

Share your findings

With Minit, it is easy to create PowerPoint presentations, analytical reports, process description handbooks and all different outputs of the analysis. You can export everything you need – not only filtered event level data but also case level aggregation, process map as image or XML structure, animation as MP4 video, charts and statistics as image or CSV – immediately and in high quality, so your outputs look just fantastic.
