Workflows that follow the way you work.

Arity is a workflow management tool, it uses your processes, and aligns your team to achieve the desired outcome. Every workflow is treated like a micro-project without the complexity of a heavy-duty project management tool. Its simple, select a workflow template, give the project a name, add additional unique tasks, assign roles, due dates, and forms. Then add comments to tasks, save files, and track progress in one place.

Every workflow runs a little differently, but your process shouldn't have to be reinvented each time.

Arity is built for tracking task progress through your unique processes. You define the process: the tasks, who is responsible, how long each task takes and what needs to be completed first, or can be completed in parallel. Then you start a project from the template and the tasks, dates and the people are populated.

From there the whole team works in the same place. Tasks are assigned and updated, files and photos are attached where the work happens, and the workflow keeps its own history.

Your process, not ours

Build templates with your own tasks, roles, forms and dependencies. Add to them, or change them to suit the way you work.

One place per workflow

Overview, tasks, schedule, notes, members, documents and history live together instead of across multiple systems and folders.

A record you can trust

Status changes, comments and attachments are kept against the task and the workflow, with who did what and when.

Features

What you can do with Arity.

Workflow templates

Design the process once. Reuse it on every project.

Build custom templates with your own tasks. Put tasks into order, set how long each one takes, choose who is responsible and say what must finish before the next one starts.

  • Drag to reorder tasks inside a template
  • Task dependencies, including tasks that run in parallel and tasks that wait for several others
  • Durations that automatically schedule the whole plan from the workflow start date
  • Roles and forms attached to the tasks that need them

User-defined roles

Roles that match your organisation.

Create the roles your business actually uses and give them to people. Templates assign work to a role, so a new workflow knows who is responsible the moment it starts.

  • Define and rename roles for your company
  • Assign a role to each task in a template
  • Company admins manage users and access

Workflow overview & history

See where a workflow stands and how it got there.

Each workflow has an overview with its status, dates, notes and members. Every change to the workflow is recorded in its history, so there is no guessing about what happened.

  • Status, key dates, description and notes at a glance
  • Members and who is responsible
  • A history of status changes you can scroll back through

Task management

Tasks with an owner, a date and a conversation.

Assign tasks, set due dates and move them through their statuses. Discuss the work in comments on the task itself, and see everything assigned to you in one list.

  • Status, assignee, due date and description on every task
  • Comments on each task
  • My Tasks across all your workflows
  • Unassigned tasks for work that doesn't belong to a workflow yet

Documents & images

Keep the paperwork with the work.

Attach documents and photos straight to the task they belong to. Open photos full size, download files when you need them, and attach forms from your forms library so everyone fills in the same one.

  • Files and photos saved against individual tasks
  • Photo viewer for quick review
  • A forms library you can attach to tasks in a template

Gantt & flow views

See the plan as a schedule or as a flow.

Task durations and dependencies are turned into dates automatically from the workflow start date. View the result as a Gantt chart or a flow diagram, for a live workflow or while you are still designing the template.

ScheduleSample data

Change a duration and every later date moves with it.

And the details that keep a team moving

    Add the people involved in each workflow and see who is on it.

  • Notes & descriptions

    Describe workflows, templates and tasks so nobody has to ask what is meant.

  • Forms library

    Upload your standard forms once and attach them to the tasks that need them.

  • My Tasks

    One list of everything assigned to you, across every workflow.

  • Company administration

    Company admins manage their users, roles and processes.

  • Secure sign-in

    Individual accounts, account lockout and automatic sign-out after inactivity.

  1. Define your roles

    Set up the roles your company uses and give them to your team.

  2. Design a template

    Add tasks, durations, dependencies, roles and forms. Check it in the Gantt or flow view.

  3. Start a workflow
