Rapid Overview

The Rapid Platform is a comprehensive software solution designed to accelerate your business processes while helping keep everything organised. We offer a user-friendly interface and a suite of tools for tasks such as project management, data analysis, workflow automation, and communication. By centralizing these functions into one platform, our goal is to enhance efficiency, collaboration, and decision-making across teams and departments.

Sounds great, but how do we do that?

Major Features

The Rapid Platform can be broken down into several main concepts

Your Site

Rapid login screen

Rapid is used on the web. When first setting it up you will have a dedicated place to store everything we call a Site. Your Site can interact with other places on the web that help solve particular activities, which we call Experiences.

Ultimately, no matter how you interact with Rapid everything gets stored in one place; one source of truth, your Site.

You can learn more about accessing your site and authentication in our accessing your site page.

Explorer

Explorer Screen

Explorer is a looking glass into your site data. This experiences goal is to help you manage data on your site. If you're looking to track information, organise files, manage tasks or do anything else with your data, Explorer is key.

Workflow

Workflow Screen

Based off the popular BPMN 2.0, Workflow is a process diagramming and automation tool. Its rare for work to be done in a vacuum, Workflow helps you describe the flow of labour throughout your business. This helps self document what should happen when, and why. With a good description of what happens, Workflow can also start automating the creation of tasks and flow of information to help you and your team focus on getting things done.

Tasks and the Task Experience

Tasks Screen

Tasks are a fundamental unit of the Rapid Platform. A task describes a singular activity in time owned by someone. With a good set of processes under your belt, tasks are an excellent way to focus on what needs to be done and minimise the amount of chasing up information you need to do.

When you're in the groove having a well organised list of tasks can really help, that's what the [Tasks Experience](/docs/Rapid/3-User%20Manual/5-Tasks%20Experience/5-Tasks Experience.md) was built for.

Designer

Designer Screen

Every business is different. Creating software is slow and expensive. These two facts lead to business software that never quite lines up with how your business data actually works. The Rapid Platform aims to sidestep this problem by creating a configurable system that can be changed and altered as your business grows and develops. To achieve this we've created Designer.
