ProcessMaker has been used for a variety of processes, from simple administrative functions such as an expenses approval or a new equipment procurement processes, to more complex workflows that are specific to a business, for example bug reporting or new feature requests in a software development company. By automating these processes, ProcessMaker increases transparency and radically reduces paperwork.

The application is web-based, so it makes working across different offices and geographic locations simple. It connects with existing databases, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Business Intelligence (BI), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), and Document Management (DMS) systems including KnowledgeTree.
