Process orchestration at the center,
any capability you need around it.
Butterfly is a business orchestration and automation (BOAT) platform that defines and runs how work moves from start to finish. Integration, automation, application development, data and AI all serve the same process; your existing systems can stay in place or move to Butterfly when needed.

A duplicate entry was blocked and a wrong cost center was corrected; no one checked by hand.
Orchestration at the center, everything connected to it.
Your existing systems sit in the bottom layer. Butterfly reaches them through the connectivity and data layer and manages the work through process orchestration; automation, AI and applications run as steps in that process. Security and governance cut across all layers.
Seven capabilities, one process.
Each capability is not a standalone tool but part of the process. The product cards answer "what does it do for you"; this section answers "how does it work".
Process Orchestration
Manages workflow, state, decisions, approvals, SLAs, escalations and exceptions in a single process.
- Who does what, in which order and with which approval: process steps and roles are defined
- SLA, escalation and exception rules live in the process
- The state machine and workflow engine record every transition
- Changing a rule is configuration, not a software project
Integration and Connectivity
Works with ERP, databases, directory services and enterprise applications through APIs.
- Data flows between systems through REST and webhook endpoints
- Direct connection to databases and directory services
- Which data comes from where and is written to where is visible in the process
Automation and RPA
Hands repetitive tasks over to robots; every robot is a monitored step in the process.
- Robot tasks are defined and monitored as process steps
- Failed runs drop into an exception flow with a clear owner
Enterprise Application Development
Builds objects, forms and screens with low code, and extends them with full code when needed.
- Object, field, form and list screens are built through configuration
- Extended with Twig, JavaScript and SQL when needed
- The entire setup lands in a git repository as files
AI and Agent Orchestration
Embeds AI into process steps with permission boundaries and human approval.
- AI tasks are defined steps of the process
- In critical steps, a recommendation is not applied until an authorized person approves it
- Every recommendation and approval goes into the audit trail
Data and Analytics
Self-service reports, dashboards and anomaly alerts from multiple sources.
- Data from different systems comes together in a single reporting layer
- Reports are prepared without depending on the technical team
Digital Experience and Content
Connects corporate web, mobile and content channels to the same processes.
- Website, content repositories and page designs on the same platform
- Requests from forms go straight into the process
Three design principles.
You don’t have to replace your systems. If needed, we will.
Butterfly can sit on top of your existing systems and manage the flow, rules and visibility between them. When needed, it replaces work management, asset and maintenance, or approval systems; we migrate in measured, gradual steps.
Rules live in data, not in code.
Process steps, approval rules, permissions and forms change through configuration. Change is a setting, not a software project.
Governance comes built in.
Field- and record-level permissions, an audit trail for every change, single sign-on and on-premises deployment are ready from day one.
Security and governance
An enterprise buyer's first questions: who can access what, who changed what, and where the data resides. In Butterfly, the answers are ready from the first day of deployment.
In your organization’s environment.
The same platform, four deployment models. The choice depends on your data residency, security policy and operating model.
In your own data center. It can also run in air-gapped environments with no internet connection.
In a cloud environment dedicated to your organization.
In a cloud environment managed by Butterfly, for a fast start.
Sensitive data on-premises, other workloads in the cloud.
Developer tools: your setup lives in git.
Permissions, audit trail, the workflow engine and system connections come from Butterfly; your team builds the business logic. Your entire configuration lands in a git repository as files via the command line tool, so your team can work with its own development tools and its own AI coding assistant.
