CuteFlow is a web based document circulation and workflow system. Users are able to define “documents” which are sent step-by-step to every station/user in a list. It’s an electronic way of doing (i.e. internal) document circulations.

A document can consist of different types of input fields and the fields can be filled with values directly in the receiver’s E-Mail-Client. After a completed circulation you will have a completely filled document. Also attachments to the document are possible (i.e. for illustration material).

All operations like starting a workflow, tracking, workflow-definition, or status observation can be done within a comfortable and easy to use web interface.
