Less paperwork and storage with digital document and approval flows.

Less operational burden

Automated workflows instead of manual data entry and long approval processes.

Less paper consumption

Less printing, paper and natural resource use with digitized processes.

Butterfly effect

A small digital step you take today becomes a change that takes root tomorrow.

Industry by industry: what happens today, and how does Butterfly solve it?

Finance & Banking

E-archive and instant compliance checks instead of wet signatures and physical archives.

  • Less paper and shipping
  • Archive space is freed up
  • Always audit-ready
How do we solve it?

Finance & Banking · MASAK / BDDK

TodayTransaction documents circulate for wet signatures, receipts are printed on paper and sanctions screening is done by hand. Regulations require these documents to be kept in physical archives for years.
Environmental costEvery transaction means printing, shipping and archive space. Maintaining the physical archive also consumes energy and space.
With ButterflyTransaction documents arrive through digital forms, approvals follow rule-based sequences, compliance screening runs automatically and documents go straight to the e-archive. Paper drops to almost zero.
ComplianceIn MASAK and BDDK audits, an immutable record shows who approved each transaction and when. Permissions are defined by role, and documents are ready in the e-archive.
Telecom

Mobile work orders instead of paper work orders; no more trips back to the office for paperwork.

  • Fewer field trips
  • Less fuel and carbon
  • Trackable SLAs
How do we solve it?

Telecom · Field & Asset Management

TodayField work orders, trouble tickets and site survey forms are filled out on paper. Teams have to return from the field to the office to hand in this paperwork.
Environmental costBesides paper, field-to-office trips made just to deliver paperwork mean extra fuel and carbon emissions.
With ButterflyThe field team receives and closes work orders on their phone; trouble records move through defined steps, and field terminals are connected to the system. Paper and unnecessary field-to-office trips decrease.
ComplianceFor BTK regulations and SLA commitments, the record and approval of every field job is kept traceable and can be reported on demand.
Manufacturing & Industry

A living digital process instead of scattered forms and Excel files; fewer errors, less scrap.

  • Less rework and scrap
  • No more printed instructions
  • Traceable ISO records
How do we solve it?

Manufacturing & Industry · Quality/Process (ISO)

TodayProcess steps are scattered across paper forms and Excel files. CAPA and nonconformity forms, shift and quality records are kept by hand, and instructions circulate in print.
Environmental costOn top of the paper and archive burden, missed errors lead to rework, which means wasted material and energy.
With ButterflyProcess steps and forms live on a single platform; every CAPA becomes a numbered record tracked with its owner. Both paper and rework decrease.
ComplianceUnder ISO 9001, CAPA, change control and quality records run in a traceable way; during an audit, the history of every record can be shown.
Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare

Electronic signatures and paperless compliance instead of wet-signed batch records.

  • Less archive burden
  • Electronic signature and audit trail
  • Faster audit preparation
How do we solve it?

Pharmaceuticals & Healthcare (GMP/GDP · FDA)

TodayBatch, validation and document control records are approved with wet signatures. The audit trail is kept on paper and, as required by regulations, stored in physical archives for many years.
Environmental costLong retention periods create a huge paper and archive burden, and maintaining this archive also consumes space and energy.
With ButterflyRecords are approved with electronic signatures, every step leaves an immutable trail and documents are stored in the e-archive. Compliance runs paperless, and audit preparation speeds up.
ComplianceFor GMP/GDP, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 requirements, records are approved with electronic signatures and leave an immutable trail. System validation is supported with documentation.
Retail & E-commerce

Orders and returns in a single flow instead of double data entry and paper receipts.

  • Less manual reconciliation
  • Fewer paper printouts
  • Less disconnected system overhead
How do we solve it?

Retail & E-commerce

TodayOrders, returns and operations run in different systems, and reconciliation is done by hand. Receipts, printouts and paperwork move between stores and headquarters.
Environmental costIn addition to paper consumption, entering the same data multiple times and running disconnected systems waste effort and energy.
With ButterflyOrders, returns and operations come together in a single flow; systems are connected, and reconciliation and reports are prepared automatically. Paper and manual work decrease.
ComplianceFor KVKK and consumer protection legislation, who accessed customer data and which consents were given is recorded; sensitive fields are masked based on permissions.
Energy & Chemicals

Digital stock, quality and maintenance records instead of paper stock cards and Excel.

  • Less scrap and fewer errors
  • Less stocktaking effort
  • Traceable OHS records
How do we solve it?

Energy & Chemicals

TodayStock cards, production and quality records, and field maintenance forms are kept on paper and in Excel.
Environmental costBesides paper consumption, errors in manually kept records turn into scrap and wasted material.
With ButterflyStock movements, quality records and maintenance work orders run digitally, and reports are generated automatically. Paper, scrap and stocktaking effort decrease.
ComplianceEPDK and EPİAŞ reporting, OHS (Law 6331) obligations, environmental and SEVESO permits, and audit findings are tracked through the audit trail.
Public Sector

Digital requests and mobile work orders instead of citizen paperwork and field forms.

  • Less paper
  • Fewer field trips
  • Transparent and traceable
How do we solve it?

Public Sector · Municipalities & Public Transit

TodayCitizen requests, asset and maintenance work orders, and field forms move forward on paper.
Environmental costAs the number of citizens grows, paper consumption and field trips grow too.
With ButterflyCitizen requests are received and approved digitally, and maintenance teams carry out work orders on mobile. Paper, field trips and waiting time decrease.
ComplianceFor public transparency and KVKK, citizen requests, work orders and approvals become traceable and auditable from start to finish.
Logistics & Ports

A rule-based digital approval chain instead of email rounds and wet-signed approvals.

  • Shorter approval times
  • No more carrying paperwork
  • Traceable ISPS and OHS
How do we solve it?

Logistics & Ports (ISPS / OHS)

TodayEntry and visitor forms and OHS paperwork circulate through rounds of email. Approvals take longer because several departments must give wet signatures.
Environmental costBesides paper, carrying paperwork from hand to hand and waiting for approvals wastes time and resources.
With ButterflyEntry, visitor and OHS paperwork becomes digital records, approvals follow a rule-based sequence and documents are stored in the e-archive. Paper decreases and approval times get shorter.
ComplianceFor ISPS port security and OHS requirements, customs and entry paperwork becomes traceable; approvals are given in sequence according to defined rules.
Media

A single flow from agreement to invoice instead of tracking scattered across paper, PDFs and email.

  • No more reprinting
  • Automatic reminders
  • Traceable royalties and approvals
How do we solve it?

Media

TodayContracts, invoices and delivery tracking are scattered across paper, PDFs and emails.
Environmental costLost paperwork and delays create repeated printing and archive burden.
With ButterflyEvery step, from agreement to campaign and from delivery to invoice, moves through a single flow; reminders and reports are automatic. Paper and tracking effort decrease.
ComplianceContract and royalty processes are recorded; as required by KVKK, personal data and approval trails are kept on record.

Sources: Water footprint: Water Footprint Network, "The Green and Blue Water Footprint of Paper Products" (~5 to 13 liters for a standard A4 sheet). Carbon footprint: life cycle assessment studies based on ISO 14040/14044 (~4.3 to 4.7 g CO₂e/page for office paper). Because paper yield per tree varies with tree species and pulping process (~8,000 to 80,000 A4 sheets), conservative average coefficients are used in the calculation. The figures are for awareness purposes; exact corporate values are calculated from actual print/transaction volumes.
