Best Business Process Modeling Software in 2026

Приложения для автоматизации бизнес-процессов
Creating almost any business solution, including CRM, does not do without creating business processes. 
Building a business process is not always a simple matter, because it is required not only to draw a certain scheme but also to think over how this or that process will practically take place, to regulate it, to bring this regulation to each employee, to test how everything happens in practice, to think over the shortcomings and options for their correction. 
For modeling of the business process according to BPMN notation, the special software for modeling of business processes, capable not only to make schemes but also to provide real work of business under these schemes is used more often. 
Let's understand what is BPMN system and how the modeling of BPMN business processes takes place?
BPMN - Business Process Management Notation is a system of symbols for building a business process flow diagram (business process modeling). 

Key Benefits of Business Process Modeling
Better Workflow Visibility 

Teams can clearly understand responsibilities, dependencies, and approval chains.

Faster Process Optimization

BPM helps identify inefficiencies, delays, and unnecessary manual actions.

Easier Workflow Automation

Well-structured process models simplify automation using CRM, ERP, and BPM platforms.

Improved Compliance

Documented workflows help organizations maintain regulatory and internal compliance standards.

Better Customer Experience

Optimized processes reduce delays and improve service consistency.


7 Signs Your Company Needs Business Process Modeling

  • Teams rely on spreadsheets
  • Too many manual approvals
  • Workflows depend on specific employees
  • Departments use disconnected tools
  • Processes are undocumented
  • Scaling creates operational chaos
  • Reporting takes too much time

Let's consider some variants of software with which help it is possible to spend both modelling, and automation of business processes.

9 business process modeling software:

Bizagi Process Modeler 

Free software for creating process diagrams and documentation in BPMN notation. An excellent tool for building business processes. It helps not only to create, but also to publish the results of work in various formats, including MS Word and interactive HTML:

Free. Open Source Business Management System. Software for building and analysing business processes.

ARIS Express

Easy enough to install and use the tool, so it can be used even by novice users. ARIS Express belongs to a family of modeling tools ARIS (ARchitecture of Integrated Information Systems) and includes not only tools for modeling business processes and publishing models, but also integrating with each other tools to develop a balanced scorecard, assessment and optimization of business processes, tools that simplify the implementation of ERP systems, as well as tools to monitor the implementation of business processes.


Camunda

Camunda is a business process orchestration and workflow automation platform used to design, automate, and manage complex business processes across systems, people, APIs, and AI agents. It is especially popular in enterprise environments that need scalable and auditable workflows. 


What Camunda does

Camunda allows companies to:

  • model business processes visually using BPMN;

  • automate workflows;

  • orchestrate APIs, microservices, humans, and AI agents;

  • long-running workflows;

  • distributed systems;

  • event-driven architecture;

IBM WebSphere Business Modeler

What IBM WebSphere Business Modeler Was

It was designed to help companies:

  • visually model business processes;
  • simulate workflows;
  • analyze operational efficiency;
  • document enterprise procedures;
  • prepare processes for automation.

The platform focused heavily on:

    4. Identify bottlenecks;
    5. Export workflows into execution environments.

SAP Signavio

SAP Signavio is a cloud-based business process management (BPM) software that helps enterprises model, analyze, optimize, and transform their end-to-end operations — all in one platform.

Acquired by SAP in 2021, Signavio has become a cornerstone of SAP S/4HANA transformation and digital process automation. Whether you're running a large-scale ERP implementation or simply trying to eliminate inefficiencies across departments, SAP Signavio gives you real visibility into how your business actually works — not just how it's supposed to.

At its core, the platform combines four powerful capabilities: process mining, process modeling, process intelligence, and collaborative process governance. Teams across finance, procurement, HR, and supply chain can map workflows, spot bottlenecks, and drive continuous improvement — all backed by real operational data.

With the latest 2026 updates, SAP Signavio now features a unified navigation experience, an AI-powered assistant (Joule) for natural-language process search, and a merged SAP Signavio Process Intelligence module that cuts information discovery time by up to 83%.

If your organization is planning a RISE with SAP journey or looking for a process optimization tool that scales — this is worth your attention.

Bonitasoft

Bonitasoft is a leading open-source business process automation company behind Bonita — an extensible, low-code BPM platform designed to help organizations model, automate, and continuously optimize their business workflows.
Founded in France in 2009, Bonitasoft grew out of BPM research originally developed at the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation as far back as 2001. Today it serves enterprises across telecom, healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and government worldwide. 
The Bonita platform accelerates development and production through a clear separation between visual programming capabilities and coding — making it accessible to both business analysts and developers simultaneously. Teams can design processes using BPMN 2.0 graphical notation, build custom UI with a drag-and-drop form designer, and deploy via cloud or on-premise — all within a single environment. 

Bonitasoft is now Ofelia — the company rebranded and shifted its focus from BPM to agentic AI orchestration for enterprise operations.


Lucidchart
