We already have a PLM. Why do we need Kissflow?

Your PLM holds the part, the revision, and the drawing, and it should keep doing that. What it rarely governs is the cross-functional coordination around a change, including which departments still owe an assessment and which readiness gates remain open. Kissflow runs that layer.

How long does rollout take?

One change type and one gate set go live in 30 to 60 days. Additional change types reuse the same structure rather than requiring a new implementation.

How does this support ISO 9001 and IATF 16949?

Clause 8.5.6 requires controlled change with retained documented information on the authorization and the actions arising. Kissflow timestamps and attributes every assessment, board decision, and readiness sign-off on the same record.

Can a department be skipped on a change that does not affect them?

Yes, and that is deliberate. Gates are selected per change rather than applied uniformly. A gate that is not selected is excluded rather than auto-approved, so the record shows what was assessed and what was not.

Pricing depends on user mix across engineering, quality, procurement, and supply chain, since most reviewers need light access rather than full seats. A solution engineer can model this against your change volume and headcount.

Vendor and Access Lifecycle

By the time it ships, the vendor list has already changed.

Q: Will this rip and replace our existing systems?

No. Your PLM, ERP, MES, and quality systems remain the system of record. Kissflow connects through API and integration connectors and runs the coordination alongside them.

Kissflow runs the vendor and access lifecycle on one system, alongside the tools you already use, on a nine-module platform delivered in ten weeks rather than eighteen months.

Book a walkthrough

Trusted by infrastructure operators worldwide

A live production environment

A global subsea cable operator is running this today, which means the walkthrough is the application itself rather than a prototype.

Ten weeks of program time

Discovery, design, build, user acceptance testing, go-live, and hypercare, against the twelve to eighteen months a hand-coded equivalent typically runs.

Thirteen flows, around 120 fields

Configured as metadata rather than hand-coded, which is what makes a field change a republish instead of a redeploy cycle.

Nine modules, ten personas

Asset registry, vendor lifecycle, change governance, access control, risk and incident, audit and filings, each with role-specific dashboards rather than one shared view.

No authoritative record

Asset and vendor data sits across spreadsheets, a general-purpose ticketing tool, and email, with no single place that is actually definitive.

Access provisioning runs on email

Granting a contractor site or system access moves through inboxes with no consistent screening step and no record of who approved it.

Your core systems stay in place. The workflow connects them in one place.

Five groups, one asset and vendor record, and nothing you already run has to move.

The teams running the vendor and access lifecycle

Operations, compliance, vendor management, security, and field contractors. Five groups, one asset and vendor record.

The governed execution layer

Holds the asset and vendor registry, gates access provisioning through screening and approval, scores audits that re-tier the vendor automatically, and tracks filings by jurisdiction against their deadlines.

Permits Exceptions Incidents Shutdowns Field capture Contractor access

Everything you already run

Your ERP, identity provider, ticketing tool, document store, and mapping systems. API and integration connectors. Nothing existing moves.

Onboard

A vendor record starts complete, not partial.

Kissflow collects the documents, routes the approvals across multiple actors, and opens a tiered profile rather than an inbox thread.

Screen

Every access request passes the same gate.

Screening and approval run as one auditable chain, so nobody reaches a site on the strength of a forwarded email.

Provision

Credentials reflect live greenlist status.

Kissflow issues a printable access credential tied to current screening status rather than to a spreadsheet row updated last quarter.

Assess

Audit outcomes change the vendor tier automatically.

A scored assessment feeds compliance status directly, so a vendor tier reflects the last audit rather than the last conversation.

Built for how infrastructure operators actually buy.

Six things that separate a metadata platform from a hand-coded build.

Metadata, not hand-coded screens

A field, reference, or permission rule is authored once and the data model, validation, API, and interface generate from it.

One interface pattern, reused

List view, detail view, request form, and approval bar are built once and carried across every module rather than commissioned per screen.

Modular, phased rollout

Start with the one or two pillars where the pain is sharpest, prove the value, then extend into the rest of the pattern.

Near-zero cost of iteration

Changing a field, a workflow step, or a permission rule is a metadata edit and a republish rather than a code change and a redeploy.

Connects to your existing systems

Kissflow works alongside whatever you already run, including your ERP, identity provider, ticketing tool, and document store.

A proven migration path

Spreadsheet and ticketing-tool sources move into structured, cross-referenced records, which is the migration most operators are still facing.

The questions buyers ask before the demo.

GRC platforms are strong on policy, control libraries, and reporting. What they rarely run is the operational work around the control, including vendor onboarding, access provisioning, and the audit that re-tiers the vendor. Kissflow runs that layer against your own asset and vendor records.

No. Your ERP, identity provider, and ticketing tool remain the system of record. Kissflow connects through API and integration connectors and runs the coordination alongside them.

The reference implementation covered nine modules in roughly ten weeks of program time across discovery, design, build, user acceptance testing, go-live, and hypercare. A single-pillar pilot is materially shorter than that.

No. The reference build is a subsea cable operator, and the same six-pillar pattern applies to data centers, telecom carriers, utilities, satellite ground stations, and ports. The pattern is reskinned to your assets, vendors, and regulatory calendar.

Filings are tracked jurisdiction by jurisdiction with deadlines and delta reporting, so an obligation surfaces before it is due rather than after. The calendar is configured to the jurisdictions you actually operate in.

Program cost scales with the number of pillars in scope and the user mix across operations, compliance, and vendor management. A solution engineer can model this against your site count and vendor base.
