Use cases

Where patchley pays off

Five initiative types where a captured process foundation decides success — and how patchley supports each.

AI Adoption Readiness

AI initiatives don't fail on models — they fail on processes nobody has described. patchley builds the documented process foundation that AI adoption needs, at workshop speed.

The challenge
  • AI pilots stall because target processes were never described
  • Use-case selection is driven by hype instead of process evidence
  • AI teams receive anecdotes and slide decks instead of structured data
How patchley helps
  • Map the processes you want to augment before you automate them
  • Identify where AI creates value — and where it doesn't
  • Hand your AI teams structured process data instead of anecdotes
What you get
  • A documented process foundation before the first model is chosen
  • AI potential located where the numbers support it
  • Structured process data your AI teams can build on

ERP & System Implementation

Every system implementation starts with the same question: how do we actually work today? patchley answers it in days instead of months — in BPMN your integrator can use.

The challenge
  • As-is discovery consumes months of workshops and follow-ups
  • Requirements reach the integrator incomplete and inconsistent
  • Decisions get lost between sessions and blueprints
How patchley helps
  • Capture as-is processes across departments at workshop speed
  • Deliver import-ready BPMN 2.0 to your implementation partner
  • Keep decisions and assumptions traceable through the whole rollout
What you get
  • As-is landscape captured in days, in consistent BPMN 2.0
  • Import-ready input for your implementation partner
  • A traceable line from every workshop to the final blueprint

Audit, Compliance & Controls

Auditors want documented processes and controls — most organizations have neither current. patchley generates control documentation and audit trails as a by-product of capturing the process.

The challenge
  • Process documentation is outdated the moment auditors ask for it
  • Controls live in spreadsheets, disconnected from the actual process
  • Reconstructing decisions for audits burns weeks
How patchley helps
  • Control documentation generated from the modelled process
  • Every decision traceable back to the session it was made in
  • EU-hosted, ISO 27001-certified infrastructure by design
What you get
  • Documentation that stays a by-product of normal process work
  • Controls linked to the process steps they govern
  • A structured audit trail down to the originating session

Process Harmonization & PMI

Merging organizations or harmonizing sites means comparing processes that were never documented the same way. patchley captures them consistently, so differences become visible and decidable.

The challenge
  • Sites document the same process in different tools and notations
  • Variants stay invisible until integration is already underway
  • Workshops produce opinions, not comparable evidence
How patchley helps
  • Capture the same process across sites in a consistent notation
  • Consolidated process landscapes make variants comparable at a glance
  • One terminology, one modelling standard — enforced by the AI
What you get
  • One notation and terminology across all sites — enforced by the AI
  • Variants side by side in one consolidated landscape
  • Harmonization decisions grounded in captured reality

Process Automation

Automation engines like Camunda don't run pretty pictures — they run precise, executable models. patchley generates BPMN 2.0 that meets that bar: valid XML, explicit gateways, typed tasks and unambiguous flows.

The challenge
  • Hand-drawn diagrams fail engine validation and need remodelling
  • Implicit branching logic and untyped tasks block execution
  • The automation team redraws what the business already explained
How patchley helps
  • Import-ready BPMN 2.0 XML for Camunda and comparable engines
  • Explicit gateway conditions, typed tasks and defined start and end events
  • Pools, lanes and data objects that map to real roles and systems
What you get
  • Diagrams that import into the engine instead of being redrawn
  • Execution semantics captured while the experts are still in the room
  • A shorter path from process discovery to running automation
