Supercharge supply chain efficiency with workflow orchestration

Automate complex supply chain processes

Automate and streamline supply chain workflows, ensuring smooth coordination, real-time tracking, and efficient end-to-end management of your supply chain.

Improve observability and transparency

Utilizing Orkes’ suite of observability features like Timeline View, Advanced Metrics Dashboards, and Tags, users can get a full picture of business workflows from fulfilment to delivery.

Streamline inventory management

Easily build workflows to automate inventory tracking and management, optimize stock levels and warehouse operations, to reduce waste and costs.

Orkes Durable execution

Durable execution out of the box

Workflow versioning

Safely test changes by doing canary testing in production or A/B testing across multiple versions before rolling out. A version can also be deleted, effectively allowing for "rollback" if required.

Idempotent task execution

Tasks in Orkes are designed to be idempotent, meaning they can be executed multiple times without changing the result beyond the initial application. This ensures consistency and prevents unintended side effects in cases of retries or failures.

Automatic retries

Handle task failures by automatically retrying tasks based on configurable parameters. Enhance workflow reliability and ensure that transient errors or temporary issues do not lead to complete workflow failures.

Persistent state management

Orkes persists the state of workflows and tasks, ensuring that workflow progress is not lost even if the system crashes or undergoes maintenance. This allows workflows to resume from their last known state without data loss.

Orkes visual workflow editor and task configuration

Build and manage complex workflows

Visual Workflow Editor

Visually map out complex workflows with drag and drop definitions or write your own code. Span your business logic across microservices in different languages, frameworks and clouds.

Human Tasks

Add human interactions to your workflows with built-in system task for assigning users or groups for specific actions inside an execution flow.

Wait Tasks

Bring durability to your workflows with the ability to wait at any point within the execution. Wait tasks can wait for seconds, days, years, and more.

Event Tasks

Trigger events from your workflows to interface and share data from your execution with external systems like Kafka Topics.

AI/LLM Tasks

Seamlessly integrate Large Language Models, Prompt Templates and Vector Database Integrations into your business workflows.

Scheduler

Execute workflows at a prescribed cadence (e.g. once every 10 seconds, once a month, at 4pm every day) without the need for an external cron job.

Multi-region support with auto-failover

Stay up and running even in the event of an entire cloud region or data center failing.

Cluster expansion

Pick and choose from multiple cluster types to align with your usage needs and growth, and easily expand to accommodate high levels of growth with non-shared address space clusters.
