Enterprise workflow automation without the integration tax
Enterprise workflows don't live in isolation. They're sprawling, interconnected beasts that demand data from your CRM, approvals from your ERP, and updates to your accounting system. Traditional workflow automation promised to solve this, but instead created a new problem: integration hell.
Every connection between systems requires custom development, ongoing maintenance, and specialized knowledge that walks out the door when developers leave. Companies spend millions building digital bridges that constantly need repair, while their actual business processes remain frustratingly slow and error-prone.
Today, Qntrl eliminates this barrier with PowerActions.
The challenge
Most workflow automation efforts hit a roadblock when processes need to span multiple systems:
- Custom API integrations require scarce developer resources
- Maintenance costs increase as APIs evolve
- Middleware platforms add complexity and expense
- New tools require additional integration work
PowerActions eliminates these barriers by providing native, no-code connections to 500+ applications directly from your workflow platform.
