Implementation of Process Mining with Celonis

Use data to understand where your company is losing efficiency.

Your business processes are at the heart of your company – but how well do you really know them? In many organizations, complex workflows exist whose actual weaknesses and optimization potential remain invisible in day-to-day operations. A lack of transparency around cycle times, bottlenecks, and deviations from the target process means that efficiency potential goes untapped.

Solution Approach

What if you could see your processes more clearly than ever before? That is exactly what our Implementation of Process Mining with Celonis approach enables: data-driven analysis and optimization of your business processes – precise, transparent, and impactful. Using the leading Process Mining platform of our partner Celonis, we extract real process flows directly from your IT systems, make them visible, and uncover deviations, inefficiencies, and automation potential. The result: a digital twin of your business processes in real time – dynamic and continuously evolving. This transparent view shows you exactly where the value creation potential lies within your company. Together, we turn these insights into targeted measures – for greater efficiency, quality, and customer satisfaction.

Benefits

  • Unlock value creation potential by systematically identifying and eliminating process inefficiencies
  • Gain transparency and control over real process flows through data-driven process analysis
  • Achieve efficiency gains through shorter cycle times and lower process costs
  • Improve quality by identifying sources of error and compliance risks at an early stage

Approach

  1. Kick-off & Goal Definition: Together, we define your objectives, select the relevant processes (focused on 1–3 core processes), and involve the right stakeholders.
  2. Data Integration: We connect your IT systems (e.g. ERP, CRM) to the Celonis Process Mining platform, extract the process data, and create a living “digital twin” of your company.
  3. Process Visualization: Your current core processes become tangible through clear visualizations, OKRs, and meaningful dashboards.
  4. Process Analysis of Weaknesses & Potential: We examine every aspect – cycle times, bottlenecks, compliance violations, and automation opportunities become visible.
  5. Identification of Optimization Potential: We derive concrete measures, prioritize them together with you, and develop a clear action plan for process optimization and efficiency improvements.
  6. Management Workshop: In a final workshop, we present the results, discuss quick wins, and jointly define the next steps.

Deliverables

  • Digital twin of your company, providing full transparency into real process flows as a basis for well-founded decisions
  • Visualized current-state processes including deviations, bottlenecks, and variants to create a shared understanding of the actual process reality
  • Data-driven analysis of cycle times, bottlenecks, and compliance risks, making optimization potential visible and measurable
  • Prioritized value creation opportunities for process optimization and automation, with a clear focus on the greatest levers for efficiency and value creation
  • Concrete action plan with recommendations and quick wins for fast results and sustainable improvements
  • Management presentation of the key findings for management and decision-makers

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions? We have the answers.

What is Process Mining and how does it work?

Process Mining is a data-driven method for analyzing and optimizing business processes. Using software such as Celonis, process data is extracted directly from IT systems (e.g. ERP, CRM), visualized, and analyzed to uncover weaknesses, deviations, and optimization potential.

Which IT systems can be connected?

The Celonis Process Mining platform supports a wide range of systems, including ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, or Microsoft Dynamics, as well as CRM tools such as Salesforce. Integration is tailored to your specific requirements.

How long does implementation take?

The duration depends on factors such as the number and complexity of processes, data availability, and the desired level of detail. A typical project takes between 6 and 12 weeks.

Which processes are best suited for Process Mining?

Core processes such as Order-to-Cash, Purchase-to-Pay, or production processes benefit the most. We help you select the relevant processes with the greatest optimization potential.

What happens after the analysis?

After the analysis, we create a clear action plan with prioritized recommendations. In a management workshop, we present the results, discuss quick wins, and plan the next steps.
