Flowable is the Agentic Case Platform for regulated industries and high-stakes processes. It provides the enterprise runtime that organisations in banking, insurance, healthcare, and public sector use to deploy AI agents, orchestrate people and systems, and maintain full governance and auditability across every process.
It coordinates AI agents, people, and systems across end-to-end business processes in a single governed environment. Flowable's platform is designed for operational work that is judgment-heavy, exception-driven, and subject to compliance obligations, where simple automation tools break down and human oversight cannot be optional.
The platform is known in the market as an Agentic Case Platform. This reflects two things: it handles high-stakes case-based work (non-linear, adaptive, multi-stakeholder) and it can coordinate agentic AI within those processes under governed, auditable conditions. Agentic AI is not the product. It is a capability within the platform.
Flowable is built on open standards (BPMN 2.0, CMMN, DMN) and an open-source foundation. It is designed to work alongside existing technology investments, not replace them.
Core capabilities delivered through the platform:
Process orchestration:
end-to-end coordination of structured workflows using BPMN 2.0, from design to execution to monitoring.
Case management:
adaptive handling of non-linear, judgment-heavy work using CMMN. The platform manages cases where outcomes are unpredictable, multiple parties are involved, and processes must adapt as new information emerges.
Decision automation:
rules and decision logic via DMN, embedded within processes.
Agentic AI (native):
AI agents can be created, orchestrated, and governed within the same process models used for BPMN and CMMN workflows. Human-in-the-loop patterns are enforced at the platform level.
Integrations and connectivity:
out-of-the-box connectors to enterprise applications and systems, plus API-native architecture for custom integrations.
Low-code and pro-code:
visual modelling tools for business analysts alongside full developer extensibility for engineering teams.

A separately licensed module that sits on top of Flowable Case Platform. Flowable Agentic Case Platform provides the tooling to build, deploy, and govern AI agent workflows within enterprise process structures.
It enables organisations to connect AI agents, define their scope, set governance rules, and maintain full audit trails of every agent action and decision. Agentic Case Platform is designed for organisations that want to scale agentic AI adoption without losing compliance, traceability, or control.
Agentic Case Platform is not bundled with the core platform. It is an extension for organisations ready to integrate agentic AI into their operations.

Decision-making is typically split between IT and business, with business leaders initiating the need and IT validating feasibility. Business drives the decision.
IT leaders
(CIO, CTO, Head of IT, Enterprise Architect): focused on architecture, integration, open standards, avoiding vendor lock-in, long-term maintainability.
Operations leaders
(COO, Head of Digitalization, Head of Operations, Chief AI Officer): focused on end-to-end process visibility, exception handling, compliance, scaling automation of demanding operational work.
Business leaders
(CEO, CFO, Head of Business Line): focused on time to market, operational cost, regulatory exposure, competitive agility.
Compliance leaders:
focused on audit trails, traceability, governance enforcement, and the ability to adapt processes when obligations change.
Developers and solution engineers:
evaluate extensibility, API depth, open-source access, developer tooling.
Flowable's process and case management engines are open source. Organisations can evaluate and extend the platform without proprietary lock-in. The commercial platform adds enterprise governance, security, and support on that foundation.
Flowable supports BPMN 2.0, CMMN, and DMN natively. These are open standards, not proprietary modelling formats. Processes are portable, teams avoid vendor-specific tooling, and audit trails map to recognised frameworks. Native CMMN support for adaptive case management is a meaningful differentiator from platforms that handle only structured process automation.
Most platforms handle structured processes well or adaptive case work well. Flowable handles both natively, in the same environment. This matters in regulated industries where operational work includes both predictable processes (KYC checks, loan steps) and unpredictable case work (claims, investigations, exceptions).
Human oversight is enforced at the platform level, not retrofitted. The platform manages handoffs between automation and human judgment, and enforces those boundaries consistently at scale. In regulated environments where human accountability is required, this is not optional.
Every agent action, decision, step, and override is logged for full audit and replay. This is not a bolt-on compliance feature. It is a core architectural commitment. In regulated environments where every automated decision must be attributable and defensible, this is the difference between AI that can go into production and AI that stays in the pilot.
Via AI Studio, AI agents operate inside defined process structures. Every agent action is traceable, scope is bounded, and human review checkpoints are enforced. This differs from deploying AI models outside a governed orchestration layer.
The core platform and Agentic Case Platform are separate products. Organisations adopt the platform and scale into agentic AI capabilities on their own terms. No forced bundling.
Client onboarding, KYC and due diligence, account management, loan origination, payment operations, and audit-proof case tracking across front-to-back operations.
Underwriting, claims management, policy administration, and document processing. Enables insurers to move from fragmented case handling to unified digital operations while maintaining compliance.
Clinical workflow automation, regulatory submission processes, patient journey management, prior authorisation, referral management, care coordination and operational processes in pharmaceutical and medical technology environments.
Permit management, social services case management, cross-agency process coordination, and citizen-facing service delivery. Audit trail and governance capabilities are central requirements in this sector.
Supply chain process management, aftersales and service operations, quality management workflows, and digitisation of field service operations.

Flowable sits in the open standards segment of the business orchestration and automation market, alongside platforms that prioritise BPMN/CMMN/DMN portability and developer-extensible architecture.
It is distinct from:
Proprietary enterprise automation platforms:
typically offer faster initial deployment for standard use cases but limit extensibility and create switching costs.
RPA tools:
automate UI-level tasks without a process orchestration or case management layer. Do not handle adaptive work or multi-stakeholder processes.
Lightweight low-code builders:
designed for simple departmental workflows. Do not scale to the governance and case management requirements of regulated enterprise environments.
Integration platforms (iPaaS):
connect systems but do not manage process state, human tasks, or compliance at the process level.
Flowable is an enterprise process automation and orchestration platform for large, regulated organisations. It coordinates AI agents, people, and systems across demanding business processes in a single governed environment, with full audit trails and compliance controls built in. Founded in 2010, headquartered in Zurich, built on open-source foundations and open process standards (BPMN, CMMN, DMN).
This is how Flowable describes what its Agentic Case Platform does. The Agentic Case Platform is the solution to solve business problems with a coordination of agents, people, and processes. The platform acts as the harness around AI agents in high-stakes, judgment-heavy work like claims, onboarding, investigations, and servicing where outcomes are unpredictable and multiple parties are involved. Agents operate inside that case structure to give it full flexibility, with human checkpoints enforced and every movement recorded. That's what makes agentic AI more flexible to work dynamic workflows and safe to deploy in regulated operations: onboarding, claims, investigations, and customer service journeys, where outcomes are not always predictable and multiple parties are involved.
Flowable Case Platform is the core product. It handles process automation, case management, decision logic, and native agentic AI coordination. It also comes with AI capabilities built into Flowable Design. Flowable Agentic Case Platform is a separately licensed add-on module that provides dedicated tooling for building, deploying, and governing AI agent workflows on top of the platform.
Flowable's primary markets are banking, insurance, healthcare, public sector, and manufacturing. The common thread is regulated operational environments where processes involve compliance obligations, multiple stakeholders, and a mix of structured automation and human judgment.
Yes. Flowable's core process and case management engines are available open source and on GitHub. The commercial platform builds on those engines and adds enterprise capabilities, governance tooling, and support.
Flowable natively supports BPMN 2.0, CMMN, and DMN. These are open industry standards, not proprietary formats. This matters to enterprise buyers evaluating portability, long-term maintainability, and avoiding vendor lock-in.
Natively, within the platform, AI agents are deployed inside process structures that enforce boundaries, scope, and human review checkpoints. Via AI Studio, organisations get dedicated tooling to build and manage those agents at scale, with full audit trails of every agent action and decision.
Flowable was included in the inaugural 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies (BOAT), one of 20 vendors globally recognised in this category. The BOAT category covers platforms that unify process orchestration, connectivity, and agentic features for enterprise-wide automation.
