Set It and Forget It: Introducing Workflow Automation

Today we're launching VAL Workflow, the automation engine that eliminates manual coordination of repetitive data tasks. What used to require daily manual effort—importing data, running transformations, generating reports, monitoring progress—now happens automatically, reliably, every single day. No more manual triggers. No more missed steps. No more hours lost to coordination.

VAL Workflow Overview

The End of Manual Process Coordination

Morning arrives. Your operations manager opens their laptop. First: check if yesterday's POS data arrived. Then: manually trigger the data import. Wait for it to finish. Trigger the format standardization across five different systems. Wait. Run the calculation scripts. Wait. Load the results into dashboards. Wait. Generate the reports. Finally, email summaries to management. Every. Single. Morning. Miss a step, trigger things out of order, and the entire pipeline breaks. As you grow, these manual processes become impossible to sustain. VAL Workflow makes that coordination disappear.

Automation That Orchestrates Itself

VAL Workflow runs your entire data pipeline end-to-end without manual intervention. Workflows trigger on schedules you set—daily at 2 AM, every Monday at 9 AM, first of the month—or run on demand when you need them. They execute steps in the correct order, handle dependencies between stages, retry automatically on failures, and notify you only when something truly needs attention. Your data processes run reliably while you sleep.

26+ Templates, Zero Coding

VAL Workflow provides pre-built templates for the most common automation needs across six categories: AI/ML operations, analytics pipelines, integrations, reporting, SQL transformations, and utilities. No coding from scratch. No technical expertise required. Just configure template parameters through simple forms—select your data sources, set your schedule, define your outputs—and let the system handle execution.

Need daily POS processing? Configure the data pipeline template to import sales data at 2 AM, standardize formats, calculate key metrics, load into dashboards, and notify when complete. Fully automated from raw data to actionable insights.

Reconciling payments manually? Set up the reconciliation workflow to extract bank statements, match transactions with POS sales, identify discrepancies, generate variance reports, and alert finance when gaps exceed thresholds. What took 2 hours daily now runs automatically in minutes.

Sending weekly executive reports? Chain the report generation template with email delivery—sales summary created and distributed to executives every Monday at 8 AM without operations manager involvement.

Processing multi-source data? Run parallel import workflows for POS, delivery platforms, reservations, accounting, and bank data simultaneously for speed, then chain sequential standardization and enrichment workflows to ensure proper data flow. All sources integrated by 7 AM daily.

Sequential When Order Matters, Parallel When Speed Counts

Most workflows run in parallel for maximum efficiency. But when steps depend on each other—raw data must import before standardization can run, standardization must complete before enrichment begins—use the Workflow Executor template to chain workflows sequentially. It runs configured workflows in order, waiting for each to complete before starting the next, ensuring proper dependencies and data flow.

Monitoring That Shows Everything

Every workflow execution is tracked with complete visibility: start time, end time, duration, status, detailed logs, error messages. When failures occur, workflows automatically retry with smart logic and notify you only when manual intervention is required. The centralized dashboard shows all workflows in real-time—running, completed, failed—with full execution history for compliance and troubleshooting. You always know what's happening with your data.

Set It and Forget It

Configure your workflows once, and they run reliably day after day. As your business grows—new outlets, new data sources, higher volumes—workflows scale automatically without reconfiguration. Your team focuses on strategic work, not repetitive manual coordination. The automation runs in the background, reliably, every single day.

Stop Coordinating, Start Automating

VAL Workflow is live now for all VAL customers. Configure your first workflow today and watch manual processes become automatic. No manual triggers. No coordination overhead. No hours lost to repetitive tasks. Just reliable automation that scales with your business. Your operations team will thank you.
