Process Mining, Modeling, and Simulation Solution:
Gain data-driven visibility into how ERP-based business processes actually run.
Process mining analyzes real ERP execution data to show how processes truly operate.
It replaces assumptions with facts.
What Is Process Mining?
Process mining is a data-driven approach that analyzes how business processes actually run.
It uses event logs from ERP and operational systems.
This makes real execution visible, not assumed.
Process mining is typically used to:
- Visualize real process flows across ERP systems
- Detect delays, rework, and deviations
- Measure cycle time and performance objectively
- Support data-driven process improvement initiatives
Why Process Mining Matters?
In many organizations, processes look efficient on paper.
However, real execution often tells a different story.
Therefore, process mining helps teams detect delays, rework, and hidden variations early.
Key Benefits of Process Mining
Process mining enables organizations to understand how business processes truly operate by using real execution data instead of assumptions.
As a result, teams gain clear visibility, objective performance insights, and faster improvement cycles across ERP-driven processes.
End-to-End Process Visibility
Objective Performance Measurement
Faster Root Cause Analysis
Data-Driven Continuous Improvement
In practice, these benefits allow teams to move from reactive problem-solving to proactive process optimization.
What problem does process mining actually solve?
Process mining shows how your business processes truly work. It analyzes real data from your operations. This helps find bottlenecks, rework, and issues that are hard to see with traditional reports. The insights are detailed and clear. They help your team make quick, fact-based decisions. For example, you can spot inefficiencies and improve them. This approach increases your operational efficiency and performance.

Where does Process Mining stand vs traditional analysis?
Traditional analysis often uses static reports and assumptions. However, process mining uses real execution data. This data shows actual flows and differences. As a result, it finds root causes quickly. For example, it supports faster and more reliable decision-making.
Typical Process Mining Use Cases
Typical Process Mining Use Cases are:
- Order-to-Cash Analysis
- Procure-to-Pay Optimization

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about process mining with ProcessMind, including benefits, implementation, and expected outcomes.
Process mining is an analytical approach to discover, monitor, and improve real processes by extracting knowledge from event logs in IT systems.
BPMN stands for Business Process Model and Notation. It’s a standardized graphical notation for drawing business processes (using symbols like rectangles for activities, diamonds for decisions, arrows for flow, etc.). Process mining tools often output diagrams that resemble BPMN models, and some (like ProcessMind) let you import/export BPMN models.
A process model is a representation of a process, often as a flowchart or diagram, showing the sequence of steps, decision points, and flows. In process mining, you get an “as-is” process model derived from data. This can be compared to a “to-be” (ideal) process model designed by the business.
Process discovery is the phase (or type of process mining) focused on automatically generating a process model from event log data, without prior knowledge of the process. It’s about discovering how the process actually flows purely from the data. This is usually the first step in process mining, yielding the raw picture of reality.
ProcessMind is a next-generation process mining platform designed to make process improvement simple, affordable, and accessible. It unifies process mining, modeling, and simulation in one cloud-based tool, so you can upload your data, visualize your processes, and drive improvements—no technical expertise required.
ProcessMind is built for ease of use, fast onboarding, and actionable insights. It offers instant access, no-code setup, and transparent pricing. With ProcessMind, you can quickly discover inefficiencies, monitor compliance, and optimize processes—whether you’re a business user or a process expert.
The timeline depends on the project’s scope and data readiness. A small pilot can deliver results in a few days to a couple of weeks, especially with modern tools like ProcessMind. Larger or more complex projects may take several weeks, mainly due to data preparation and stakeholder alignment.
Commonly mined processes include order-to-cash, purchase-to-pay, invoice approvals, customer onboarding, supply chains, IT service management, and support ticket handling. Any process with digital event logs can be analyzed.
Process mining uses event logs from systems like ERP (e.g., SAP, Oracle, MS, Abas, Odoo), CRM (e.g., Salesforce, Zoho, Pipedrive), helpdesk platforms (e.g., ServiceNow, Zendesk, Freshdesk), BPM workflow tools, and custom business applications. Any system that records process steps with timestamps and case IDs can be a data source.
Process mining is used by finance, operations, procurement, customer service, IT, HR, and compliance departments—anywhere processes are tracked and improved. Both business and IT teams benefit from the insights.
Process mining is applied across industries: manufacturing, banking, insurance, healthcare, logistics, retail, public sector, and more. Any organization with digital processes can benefit from process mining.
Process mining basics involve extracting event data from IT systems, reconstructing the actual process flows, and visualizing them to identify inefficiencies, bottlenecks, and improvement opportunities. It typically requires three key data elements: case ID, activity name, and timestamp. The process includes discovery, conformance checking, and ongoing monitoring for continuous improvement.
Business process mining is the same as process mining. It refers to using data-driven techniques to analyze, visualize, and improve business processes by extracting knowledge from event logs in IT systems. The goal is to gain transparency, optimize workflows, and drive better business outcomes.
Process mining diagrams are visual representations of how processes actually flow within an organization, based on real event data. These diagrams show the sequence of activities, paths taken, bottlenecks, and variations. They help users understand the true process, compare it to the intended process, and identify areas for improvement.
Business process flows are the sequences of steps or activities that make up a business process, from start to finish. They define how work moves through an organization, including decision points, parallel tasks, and handoffs between teams. Understanding business process flows is essential for creating a business process that is optimized for efficiency and ensures consistent outcomes.
Process mining is an analytical approach to discover, monitor, and improve real processes by extracting knowledge from event logs in IT systems. Usually it is spelled as two words: “process mining”.
Unlike traditional BI and reporting tools, process mining analyzes event-level data to reconstruct end-to-end process flows. This makes it possible to identify bottlenecks, deviations, and root causes rather than just reporting aggregated results.
No — ProcessMind uses existing event logs without system changes.
Enterprise process mining platforms are often designed for large-scale, global deployments and typically involve longer implementation cycles, complex data preparation, and higher total cost of ownership.
