Transform Your Project Delivery Process

A structured approach to project management, workflow automation defines the exact task sequence for each project type, auto-assigns each step to the right team member, and triggers the next stage the moment the previous one is marked complete.

Replace ad-hoc task coordination with a repeatable system. Every project type gets its own workflow template, so teams deliver to the same standard every time, regardless of who is managing the project.

Key Tools for Workflow Automation

Workflow automations that sequence tasks, auto-assign responsibilities, and keep every project stage moving forward on schedule.

Automated Workflows

Bring structure and consistency to complex projects with fully automated workflows. Standardise your delivery process by defining the exact sequence of tasks required for each project type.

Kanban Boards

Gain full visibility of your active workflows using intuitive Kanban boards. Sort and filter tasks by project, department, or workflow stage to spot bottlenecks before they cause delays.

Trigger Tasks

Define custom dependencies that launch several follow-up tasks at once, enabling parallel progress within your workflow sequence.

Digital Forms

Attach digital forms directly to workflow tasks. Forms can trigger workflow stages, assign tasks, and capture consistent data at every stage of your project.

Task Instructions

Attach detailed step-by-step instructions to any workflow task. Include checklists, procedures, safety requirements, and quality standards to ensure consistent delivery across all projects.

Resource Management

Assign tasks to team members, track availability, and manage resources efficiently. Ensure the right people are working on the right tasks at the right time.

HOW TO GET STARTED

Follow these simple steps to create and manage your automated workflows

1

Define Your Workflow

Start by outlining the sequence of tasks for your project type. Identify each step, from initial setup to final completion, and determine the order in which tasks should be completed.

2

Assign Tasks & Responsibilities

Assign each task to the appropriate team member or department. Set up automatic notifications so the next person in the workflow knows when their task is ready to begin.

3

Set Up Triggers & Dependencies

Configure trigger tasks for parallel workflows or complex dependencies. Define conditions that automatically launch follow-up tasks when previous steps are completed.

4

Monitor & Optimise

Use Kanban boards to monitor workflow progress in real-time. Identify bottlenecks, adjust task assignments, and refine your workflows based on actual project performance.

Pro Tips for Success

Start Simple

Begin with a basic workflow and add complexity as your team becomes more comfortable with automation.

Use Templates

Leverage pre-built workflow templates for common project types to save setup time.

Review Regularly

Monitor your workflows regularly and adjust based on team feedback and project outcomes.

Integrate Forms

Attach digital forms to workflow tasks to capture consistent data at each stage.

Automated Workflows

Bring structure and consistency to complex projects with fully automated workflows. Standardise your delivery process by defining the exact sequence of tasks required for each project type.

When one step is marked complete, the next task is instantly triggered and assigned to the right person — ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Automate repetitive processes, reduce manual task management, and improve visibility and accountability across your entire team.

  • Automate repetitive processes
  • Reduce manual task management
  • Improve visibility and accountability
  • Deliver projects faster and more efficiently

Kanban Boards

Gain full visibility of your active workflows using intuitive Kanban boards. Sort and filter tasks by project, department, or workflow stage to spot bottlenecks before they cause delays.

Kanban boards and buckets give managers and team leaders a real-time snapshot of every active workflow — perfect for busy, multi-project environments. Manage multiple projects in one view, assign and prioritise tasks by department, and keep teams aligned on project status.

  • Manage multiple projects in one view
  • Assign and prioritise tasks by department
  • Identify workflow issues instantly
  • Keep teams aligned on project status

Trigger Tasks

Not every project follows a straight line. Some require multiple tasks to run simultaneously.

With Trigger Tasks, you can define custom dependencies that launch several follow-up tasks at once, enabling parallel progress within your workflow sequence. This flexibility helps you manage complex projects more dynamically, whether you're coordinating multiple installers, managing concurrent site activities, or balancing cross-departmental handovers.

  • Define custom dependencies
  • Launch multiple follow-up tasks at once
  • Enable parallel progress within workflows
  • Manage complex projects dynamically

Task Instructions

Provide clear, step-by-step instructions for each task in your workflow. Ensure team members have all the information they need to complete their work correctly and efficiently.

Attach detailed instructions to any workflow task, including checklists, procedures, safety requirements, and quality standards. These instructions are always accessible to assigned team members, reducing errors and ensuring consistent delivery across all projects.

  • Step-by-step task instructions
  • Attach checklists and procedures
  • Include safety requirements and quality standards
  • Always accessible to assigned team members

Digital Forms

Create project flow forms that keep your data organised and accessible. Using a drag-and-drop form builder, you can design task-specific forms to capture key information — from client approvals to site inspection details.

Customise forms to match your workflow, generate external URLs for customers or suppliers, and collect consistent data directly into the workflow. Reduce admin time and eliminate email back-and-forth by streamlining your data collection process.

Manual Coordination vs. SiteSurvey Workflows

How structured workflow automation changes the day-to-day reality of running a project team.

ChallengeManual coordinationSiteSurvey Workflows
Task handoverRelies on emails or calls between team membersNext task auto-assigns the moment the previous step is marked complete
Missed stepsCommon when team members are busy or change rolesEvery step is defined in the template — none can be skipped

Parallel tasksManually coordinated, often delayedTrigger Tasks launch multiple tasks simultaneously from one completion event

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers below — for the full explanation, open each question or browse all workflow FAQs.

Does SiteSurvey offer workflow templates?

Yes. SiteSurvey includes ready-made workflow templates for common project types, including construction, healthcare, retail, facilities management, and utilities.

How does SiteSurvey workflow automation differ from a standard task list?

SiteSurvey workflow automation is sequential and rule-based: when one task is marked complete, the next is automatically assigned to the correct team member with no manual intervention.

Read full answer →

Can I run tasks in parallel within a single workflow?

Yes. Trigger Tasks allow you to launch multiple follow-up tasks simultaneously from a single completion event, enabling parallel workstreams within the same project workflow.

Read full answer →

How do digital forms connect to workflow tasks?

Each workflow task can have a digital form attached to it. The form is presented to the assigned team member when the task is active, and completed data is stored directly against the workflow.

Read full answer →

Is there a limit to the number of workflows I can create?

No. You can create unlimited workflows across all departments and project types on any paid plan. There is no cap on workflow templates, active instances, or tasks per workflow.

Does SiteSurvey workflow automation work for field-based teams?

Yes. SiteSurvey is built for teams who work on-site. The mobile app lets field workers view assigned tasks, complete forms, and mark tasks done from any location — including offline.

What happens when a workflow task is marked as complete?

The moment a task is marked complete, the workflow automatically triggers the next task in the sequence, assigns it to the designated team member, and sends a notification.

Can workflows integrate with resource management tools?

Yes. SiteSurvey's built-in resource management includes smart alerts for overbooking and scheduling conflicts, so task assignments within workflows respect team availability.
