Workflow Engine
Design your own rules. No code required.
A visual drag-and-drop workflow builder that lets laundry managers design garment routing logic without writing a single line of code. Version history, test mode, and a template library included.
Visual builder
Node-based editor for garment routing.
The workflow canvas uses a node-based visual editor where every workflow is a graph of triggers, conditions, and actions. Drag nodes onto the canvas, connect them, and publish.
Laundry managers design garment routing logic visually — no developers, no tickets, no waiting. If a client needs a custom wash programme after 50 washes, the ops team builds that rule themselves.
Triggers
Scan event, wash count threshold, inspection result, status change
Conditions
Product type, client, garment age, previous action, zone
Actions
Route to zone, flag for inspection, schedule reproof, condemn
Version history
Every change tracked. Diff comparison built in.
Every published version of a workflow is stored with a timestamp, the user who made the change, and a diff showing exactly what was added, removed, or modified. Roll back to any previous version with one click.
Auditors can see the full history of routing logic changes — who changed what, when, and why. No more "we think someone updated the rule last month".
Test mode
Simulate before you publish.
Before a workflow goes live, test mode lets you simulate a garment's path through every node. Pick a garment from the demo environment, run the workflow, and see exactly which branches fire and which actions trigger.
No risk to production data. No garments rerouted by accident. Validate the logic first, then publish with confidence.
Template library
Common workflows pre-built. Adapt to your operation.
Start from a template rather than a blank canvas. The library includes workflows for common scenarios — inspection scheduling after N washes, reproof routing, condemned garment handling, and wearer notification triggers.
Clone a template, adjust the thresholds and conditions for your operation, test, and publish. Minutes, not days.
Integration points
Six routing decision points in the garment lifecycle.
Intake sort
Decide wash programme based on product type and soil level
Post-wash routing
Route to inspection, clean stock, or reproof based on wash count
Inspection outcome
Pass to clean stock, flag for repair, or condemn
Repair completion
Return to inspection or re-wash depending on repair type
Pick allocation
Assign garments to dispatch routes based on wearer entitlement
Reproof scheduling
Trigger reproof at defined intervals or after specific events
FAQ
Common questions
What is the Vorrex Workflow Engine?
The Workflow Engine is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) evaluator built into Vorrex Server. It resolves the next action for any in-flight process by evaluating conditions against the current system state. Workflows are built in Vorrex Manager using a visual node editor — no code required.
What condition operators does the Workflow Engine support?
The engine supports 10 condition operators: equals, not equals, greater than, less than, contains, not contains, is empty, is not empty, in list, and not in list. Conditions can be grouped with AND/OR logic. This covers the full range of garment status, wearer coverage, machine state, and contract rule checks.
Can workflows be tested before going live?
Yes. Vorrex Manager includes a test mode for workflows. Administrators can step through a workflow with a simulated context to verify condition evaluation before activating a new version. Previous workflow versions are retained in the version history and can be rolled back.
Does the Workflow Engine ship with pre-built templates?
Yes. The template library includes workflows for standard fire service PPE operations: goods in routing, wash allocation, inspection priority, repair vs replace decisions, and compliance pack dispatch. Templates are a starting point — administrators can modify them to match their specific processes.
