No-Code
Workflow
Design and automate business processes without writing a single line of code
HERMES is the workflow module integrated into the Arcsys platform. Using its visual generator — Visual HERMES — teams can configure complex business processes and document circuits rapidly, without technical expertise.
From simple approval chains to multi-step document lifecycles, HERMES adapts to your organization's rules, roles, and content — natively connected to your documents.
Configurable, visual, and document-native business process automation
HERMES brings workflow orchestration directly into the document lifecycle — connecting roles, events, rules, and content in a unified no-code environment.
Quickly design complex business workflows and document circuits
HERMES enables rapid configuration of complex business processes or document circuits, adapted to the content and nature of the documents being managed. Each process is represented as an ordered network of activities linked by transition conditions.
From action execution to external event handling, HERMES gives teams full control over their document-centric workflows — without touching a line of code.
HERMES
Visual HERMES is the graphical designer at the heart of the HERMES module. It allows teams to build, model, and manage document circuits through an intuitive visual interface — no technical knowledge required.
Everything you need to orchestrate your document workflows
HERMES provides a comprehensive set of workflow capabilities — from access control and event handling to email automation and collaborative editing — all configurable without code.
Roles and group management
Define specific rules for user groups or classes. Control who can act, view, or transition at each stage of the workflow.
Confidentiality and access control
Manage mailboxes, actions, functions, groups, and confidentiality settings to ensure sensitive documents are handled appropriately.
External event management
Handle time-based deadlines, information system changes, and user inputs as workflow triggers — keeping processes aligned with real-world events.
Process and activity reuse
Previously modelled workflows and activities can be extended and reused, reducing design time and ensuring process consistency.
Email notifications via SendMsg
Send automated emails at any point during an action — to inform recipients of a document's current status, forward a document internally or externally, or trigger specific business notifications.
Metadata and attachment actions
Workflow actions can operate on document metadata and attached files — enabling data enrichment, validation, and transformation as part of the process flow.
Collaborative document editing (WOPI)
Enable simultaneous online creation and modification of documents within the workflow — multiple contributors can co-author in real time without leaving the process environment.
Configurable workflows and circuit modelling
Each workflow is fully parameterizable. Graphical modelling of document circuits makes it easy to visualize, adjust, and communicate process logic across teams.
Keep every stakeholder informed and involved at every step
HERMES is not just a process engine — it is a collaboration layer built around document workflows. Roles, notifications, and co-editing capabilities ensure that the right people act on the right content at the right time.
The SendMsg component enables targeted email communication at any point in a process — whether to notify internal approvers, alert external recipients, or share document updates across the organization.
A no-code workflow engine built for document-centric organizations
HERMES brings together visual process design, event-driven automation, role-based access, and native document integration — so your teams can focus on decisions, not configuration.
