Process X-ray is part of every a-systems system. Each step an order, a purchase or a warehouse transfer takes is recorded the moment it happens: who moved it, and when. One screen then shows where the time goes, the paths your documents really take, how often work is done twice, and how much of it ran with no person at all. Specialist process-mining tools first have to extract this picture from your ERP. Here it is recorded where the work happens.
A quarter of invented orders. You enter as Finance. No call, no card.
Pick a flow and a period. Every number opens the list of documents behind it, and every document is a link. Nothing is a sample and nothing is estimated: these are your own documents, counted.
Each pair of steps, with the median wait and the slowest tenth. The pair that holds most of the time is marked, so the conversation starts there.
The ten most common sequences of steps, each with its share. Everything else is counted as other paths, never hidden.
An order cancelled and confirmed again, an invoice taken back to draft: counted as rework, with the documents behind the number.
A person on a screen, a shop or marketplace, a scheduled job, a document rule or the AI. Counted for every step, at the moment it happened.
The share of finished documents no person touched, shown twice: once with the AI counted as a person, once without.
The same five figures for orders, purchases and transfers. Orders split by where they came from: typed by hand, a shop, a marketplace.
Ninety days of invented trading: orders from three channels and from the sales team, purchases with their receipts and bills, a warehouse that works on weekdays. The X-ray finds what a manager would want to know first: an order spends more than a day between ready to pick and shipped, and the longest wait in the whole flow is customers paying.
Process mining usually begins with an extraction project: export the ERP's tables, map them into an event log, and guess who did what from the timestamps. None of that is needed here, because the system that does the work also writes the record.
When an order is confirmed, a pick is validated or an invoice is posted, the step goes into an append-only log in the same database transaction. A step that fails leaves no trace, and no step can be rewritten later.
A screen counts as the person signed in, a marketplace order as the channel, a scheduled run as the job, a request through the AI door as the AI. A channel's order is never counted as its salesperson's work, so untouched means untouched.
No second licence and no copy of your data in a vendor's cloud. It comes with the system you receive, on your server, with your code. Every list exports to CSV, Excel and PDF.
Enter as Finance and the X-ray opens on ninety days of sales orders, purchases and warehouse transfers, each with its waits, its paths and the people behind them. Then picture the same screen on your own orders.
