What Valtimo is
Valtimo is a free, open-source, low-code platform for business process automation. It connects process definitions to cases so teams can follow information from an initial request through delivery. A visual designer supports collaborative process design and in-browser modeling, while drag-and-drop forms and DMN logic handle data and decisions. Multi-step workflows and conditional logic are included. Plugins connect Valtimo with external systems through Exchange plugins or custom development. Policy-based access control, Keycloak identity management, and Microsoft Entra integration support access administration. The platform lists BPMN, DMN, CloudEvents, and Open API standards. Valtimo runs through APIs, Linux, self-hosted deployments, and the web; Kubernetes Helm charts support cloud-ready deployment, and Ritense offers managed SaaS. Case actions can be logged and heatmaps used for process analysis. Interfaces are listed in English, Dutch, and German. The GZAC edition targets municipalities and other government services. Open-source software costs nothing; subscriptions, SaaS, and implementation services are separate.
