When businesses look to automate workflows, they often turn to Business Process Management Software (BPMS) or large-scale enterprise platforms. While these tools promise control and structure, the reality is that they are often expensive, slow to implement, and heavily reliant on IT departments.
TaskToFlow was built to change that dynamic. Instead of limiting automation to technical teams, TaskToFlow empowers every department — HR, logistics, finance, operations, and beyond — to design and manage workflows themselves. The platform strips away complexity, keeps costs transparent, and delivers automation that actually fits how teams work.
Here’s how TaskToFlow compares with traditional BPMS solutions.
Setup time
Traditional BPMS platforms require IT staff, outside consultants, and extensive training. It can take weeks or even months before a single process is live. For growing businesses, that delay is costly.
With TaskToFlow, setup is immediate. Using a drag-and-drop builder, most teams create and launch their first workflow the same day. There are no long installation phases or complicated onboarding processes. You can start small and expand as needed — without waiting on IT.
Who can use it
Traditional BPMS platforms are typically designed for process engineers and IT teams. This means non-technical staff must constantly rely on specialists to design, adjust, or fix workflows. The result is bottlenecks and delays whenever change is needed.
TaskToFlow was designed for everyone. HR can build onboarding processes, logistics teams can automate cross-dock requests, and managers can standardize approvals — all without coding knowledge. The platform is intuitive enough for everyday users, but still flexible enough for complex workflows.
Cost and licensing
BPMS solutions often come with complicated licensing models, consulting fees, and additional costs for scaling. For small and mid-size businesses, these expenses can quickly become unsustainable.
TaskToFlow offers simple, transparent pricing. You pay per user, with no hidden costs and no consultant requirements. This makes it practical for businesses of all sizes to adopt automation without fear of spiraling expenses.
Flexibility and iteration
Changing workflows in a traditional BPMS is rarely fast. Adjustments require development cycles, approvals, and formal release processes. In fast-moving industries, that lack of agility is a major drawback.
With TaskToFlow, teams can adapt in real time. Forms, rules, and workflows can be modified directly from the dashboard, meaning businesses can respond quickly to new requirements or market conditions. This flexibility makes continuous improvement part of daily operations rather than a drawn-out IT project.
Data privacy and hosting
Traditional BPMS solutions often rely on third-party servers located in other countries, raising questions about data residency and compliance with local privacy regulations. For businesses in Canada and beyond, this can create unnecessary risk.
TaskToFlow is proudly built and hosted in Canada, with strict adherence to Canadian privacy standards. Companies can trust that sensitive business data is stored securely, with full transparency on where it resides and how it is protected.
Support and onboarding
Many BPMS vendors leave support to manuals, documentation, or expensive consultants. Teams are left to figure things out on their own or budget for ongoing external help.
TaskToFlow takes a hands-on approach. The support team works directly with you, guiding you through setup or even building your first workflow for you. Instead of being left with a tool you struggle to use, you get a partner who ensures your workflows are live and effective from day one.
Final thoughts
If you are a massive enterprise with a dedicated IT team and a large software budget, traditional BPMS platforms might fit your needs. But for growing businesses, lean teams, and organizations that value speed, flexibility, and simplicity, TaskToFlow delivers everything you need without the overhead.
TaskToFlow combines the power of workflow automation with the accessibility of no-code tools, making it possible for every team to streamline operations and reduce errors.
