Do I really need yet another tool only techies understand?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My answer surprised him: \u201cBPMN is the opposite of that. It\u2019s the first workflow tool for which you can operate without IT department.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After a 20-minute live demo, he had built his first product release workflow. Without a single line of code. Without IT ticket. Without months\u2019 worth of implementation time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span data-editor-anchor=\"Why 90 Percent of All Workflow Tools Fail in PIM\">Why 90 Percent of All Workflow Tools Fail in PIM<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most workflow solutions fall under one of the following two categories, and both are quick to hit their limits:<\/p>\n<p>Category 1: The \u201cSimple\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Zapier, Microsoft Power Automate, easy if-this-then-that tools<\/li>\n<li>The Problem: Cannot map complex product processes<\/li>\n<li>Reality: As soon as you have more than 3 decision forks, things get chaotic<\/li>\n<li>PIM Problem: No native integration \u2013 product data must be \u201cextracted\u201d via APIs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Category 2: The \u201cPowerful\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>SAP Workflow, Oracle BPM, IBM Business Process Manager<\/li>\n<li>The Problem:\u202f IT expert required for every single change<\/li>\n<li>Reality:\u202f6 months of setup, 50,000\u20ac budget, still unflexible<\/li>\n<li>PIM Problem:\u202fLives in separate systems \u2013 PIM data is a \u201cforeign entity\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span data-editor-anchor=\"The Integration Dilemma\">The Integration Dilemma<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The real pain point lies in integration: External workflow tools do not understand your product data. All they see are \u201cgeneric datasets\u201d instead of product attributes, categories, variants, and quality rules.<\/p>\n<p>The consequence: Hours-long mapping work to teach the workflow what a \u201cproduct type\u201d is or how \u201cdata quality\u201d is measured.<\/p>\n<p>BPMN in <a title=\"Zur ATAMYA Product Cloud \u00dcbersichtsseite\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atamya.com\/en\/atamya-product-cloud\/\">ATAMYA Product Cloud<\/a> solves both problems elegantly: Visual like a flowchart, powerful like an enterprise software, and fully integrated into your product data. The workflow engine works directly with the real product data in the PIM system.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span data-editor-anchor=\"The 20-Minute Workflow: Live Setup in ATAMYA Product Cloud\">The 20-Minute Workflow: Live Setup in ATAMYA Product Cloud<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Allow me to demonstrate to you what modern PIM automation looks like. Let\u2019s built an intelligent product release process together \u2013 from the very first click to the completed automation.<\/p>\n<p>Our scenario:<\/p>\n<p>A new product is created \u2192 automatic data quality check \u2192 parallel editing by multiple teams \u2192 final release with datasheet generation. You can find the graphic for this workflow in step 5.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Step 1: The Start Trigger (2 Minutes)<\/h4>\n<p>Every workflow begins with a trigger: in our example, it is the <strong>creation of a new product<\/strong>. As soon as a product is created, the process starts automatically. In ATAMYA Product Cloud, the first step in the workflow is referred to as \u201cstart event,\u201d while such an element with a trigger is referred to as \u201csignal start event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To do that, you simply click the start event in the toolbar to place it in the workflow editor, then change the start event to a signal start event (triangle icon), and, lastly, select the following type from the dropdown menu: \u201c<strong>businessObjectCreated<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From this moment on, the following applies: Whenever a product is created (be it manually, via import, or API), the workflow starts automatically. This way, an intelligent starting point comes to be at the click of a few buttons, smoothly setting the automation process into motion. And it does so <strong>without programming or IT effort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Step 2: Intelligent Fork (5 Minutes)<\/h4>\n<p>With its next step, the workflow decides automatically which path the new product should take. Using a condition-based \u201cexclusive gateway,\u201d you can check whether it is a standard product or a special product. Standard products will run through the <strong>express workflow<\/strong>, while special products may first run through a manual pre-examination by product management.<\/p>\n<p>In <strong>ATAMYA Product Cloud<\/strong>, you can very easily formulate this logic as an expression:<br \/>\n${masterDataService.getBusiness&shy;ObjectAttribute(businessObjectId, domainId, &#8220;producttype&#8221;) == &#8216;standard&#8217;}<\/p>\n<p>The above defines: <strong>standard products will directly enter the parallel editing phase<\/strong>, while all other products must first be examined and forwarded manually. This creates transparency, efficiency, and error-free processes. Without requiring any technical know-how.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Step 3: Parallel Power (8 Minutes)<\/h4>\n<p>In the third step, multiple tasks will be processed at the same time. Using a \u201cparallel gateway,\u201d three processes are started:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>an automatic categorization (Service Task),<\/li>\n<li>start of the DeepL translation (Service Task),<\/li>\n<li>a marketing review (User Task), automatically assigned to the responsible team.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The service tasks are processed automatically in the background, while the marketing team works on the user task. The system waits until all three tasks are completed before the next step is initialized.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Since all tasks run parallelly, the editing time is reduced significantly:<\/strong> Instead of 90 minutes, this entire phase may only take roughly 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"h4\">Step 4: Intelligent Quality Check (3 Minutes)<\/p>\n<p>Before a product is released, the workflow automatically checks <strong>data quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Subsequently, an exclusive gateway defines which direction the workflow must take: If there are errors, then send the product back for <strong>post-editing by the product management<\/strong>. If there are no errors, then<strong> start the release and trigger the datasheet generation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The automation logic for this is:<br \/>\n${masterDataService.getBusiness&shy;ObjectQualityResult&shy;(businessObjectId, domainId).summary.errors &gt; 0}<\/p>\n<p>Translation: The gateway checks the data quality of the product automatically and starts the release step for error-free products.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Step 5: The Automation Turbo (2 Minutes)<\/h4>\n<p>To wrap things up, the workflow processes three automated tasks back-to-back: First, the <strong>product is set to active<\/strong>, then the <strong>datasheet is generated<\/strong>, and, lastly, the <strong>synchronization with the online shop<\/strong> is carried out.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"m-media__container-block_894c0e27b080cb46caf8ca225142b5ae\" class=\"m-media__container u-pt-x0 u-pb-x0 u-pt-x0@md u-pb-x0@md\">\n    <div class=\"o-container\">\n        <div class=\"o-grid o-grid--center\">\n           <div class=\"o-grid__col u-12\/12@md\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atamya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/blog-graphic-the-20-minutes-workflow.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atamya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/blog-graphic-the-20-minutes-workflow.png 1805w, https:\/\/www.atamya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/blog-graphic-the-20-minutes-workflow-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/www.atamya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/blog-graphic-the-20-minutes-workflow-1024x305.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.atamya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/blog-graphic-the-20-minutes-workflow-768x229.png 768w, https:\/\/www.atamya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/blog-graphic-the-20-minutes-workflow-1536x458.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" alt=\"\" class=\"u-full--width\" \/><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section id=\"m-text__container-block_eee55d18528914a3c634cf9b45795e8a\" class=\"m-text__container u-pt-x0 u-pb-x0 u-pt-x0@md u-pb-x0@md\">\n    <div class=\"o-container\">\n        <div class=\"o-grid o-grid--center\">\n                <div class=\"o-grid__col u-6\/12@md\" data-aos=\"none\">\n                    <p>These steps are realized automatically in ATAMYA Product Cloud, without requiring manual intervention.
