The Digital Backbone for Automotive & Mobility

Kissflow lets each plant configure workflows to reflect local approval chains, language, and regulatory requirements. A plant in Germany can run a different escalation path than one in Mexico while both report into the same regional dashboard. Audit trails, ownership records, and resolution tracking remain consistent across all sites, while approval chains and escalation logic adapt to local needs.

Most automotive teams have a governed production deviation or CAPA workflow live within two to four weeks. The AI-assisted app builder generates an initial workflow from a plain-language description, which your operations or quality team refines in the same visual interface, with no IT backlog required. Enterprise-wide rollout typically follows a department-first expansion: one plant, then multi-plant, then the full enterprise command layer.

A digital operations backbone is the execution layer that connects your systems of record to the people who act on them. Your ERP records transactions, your MES controls the line, and your PLM manages designs, but none govern what happens between those systems. That means the approval before a rework begins, the corrective action before a supplier ships again, and the readiness sign-off before a new program launches all live in email. The backbone governs it all, with full audit trails and real-time visibility across every plant and function.

Kissflow provides the governed execution layer that IATF 16949 audits require. That includes documented CAPA workflows with ownership and closure evidence, supplier corrective action trails, and non-conformance records with root cause and disposition. Quarantine and release decisions capture approver identity and timestamp, giving auditors a complete, on-demand record. The platform does not replace your QMS; it governs the human actions your QMS requires and holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR certifications.

Most deployments begin in one of three areas: plant operations, quality and compliance, or engineering change management. Common starting workflows include production deviation reporting, CAPA management, and ECR and ECO routing. Within the first eight weeks, the deployment typically covers one functional area across one or two plants. Months three to six expand to additional functions and sites, and the enterprise command layer is typically reached within the first year.

Kissflow is hosted on Google Cloud Platform with additional availability on AWS, with data residency options in the US, EU, APAC, and Australia. Role-based permissions that your IT team controls govern access to workflows, forms, and data. The platform holds SOC 1 Type II, SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR, and CCPA certifications. Private cluster deployments are available for organizations with strict data isolation requirements, and no workflow data is shared across tenants.

Yes. OEMs typically deploy Kissflow to govern cross-plant execution: engineering change routing, plant-level quality governance, and dealer and warranty management. Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers use the platform to manage supplier corrective actions, production deviation escalations, and NPI readiness workflows. The platform scales from a single plant team of 50 users to a multi-site enterprise with thousands of users, and the governance model scales with deployment.
