**BPM**, or Business Process Management, is the practice of mapping, organizing, and continuously improving a company's processes — and a **BPMS** is the system that puts that practice into action. **Jestor** delivers a full BPMS, with **Kanban & Pipe** and **native automations** to apply BPM without expensive consulting.

### What Is BPM in Practice, Beyond the Textbook Definition?

BPM isn't just drawing a nice flowchart — it's making sure the company's real process follows a predictable sequence, with clear owners and data recorded at each step, so it can be improved over time.

### How Do You Apply BPM in a Company, Step by Step?

1. Map the current process, even if it's still manual.
2. Define phases, owners, and the rules for moving between them.
3. Automate the repetitive steps with fixed rules.
4. Track metrics to identify bottlenecks.
5. Review and adjust the process periodically, based on the data.

### How Does Jestor Put BPM Into Practice?

- Jestor's **BPMS** structures the process into custom phases, with checklists and rules for each step.
- **Kanban & Pipe** gives immediate visibility into where each case stands in the process.
- **Native automations** handle the repetitive steps, like notifying an owner or automatically changing a status.
