Minit

With its first version released in 2015, Minit has developed a powerful Process Mining tool with advanced process enhancement capabilities. Features like hierarchical visualization, the simulation of “what if” scenarios and interactive, Qlik-based dashboards deserve special attention. The software offers a clean and user-friendly UI. Minit’s use cases include projects in banking, logistics, e-commerce and telecommunications with common processes like Purchase to Pay (P2P), Order to Cash (O2C) and IT Service management (ITSM). Webinars and the newly-launched Minit Academy help users leverage the full potential of the tool.

Distinctive Focus and Features

Dashboards powered by Qlik Sense: Analytical views created in Minit can be published to “Minit Dashboards” on the Qlik Sense platform with drill-down capabilities and customizable sheets.
Hierarchical process mining: A patent-pending technology is used to examine process flows from a hierarchical perspective, hiding or revealing sub-processes based on hierarchy in the event log. The aggregated data is visible in the process graph while its level of abstraction can be adjusted accordingly. Use cases include organizational mining – hierarchy based on various company structure levels such as subsidiaries, divisions, departments and teams, RPA – hierarchies based on high-level log from LOB systems combined with hierarchical UI recordings or bot execution logs, etc.
Process simulation: “What-if” scenarios can be created to evaluate potential process adjustment measures. Variables such as activity durations, man-hour rates, business hours and the deployment of RPA bots can be simulated.
