Explore Process Mining Use Cases for Your Process

Browse process mining use cases by department, industry, or transformation theme. Each guide focuses on a specific business context and the process outcomes you can investigate, such as cycle time, rework, or conformance.

Process mining use cases across departments, industries, and transformation themes

Find process mining use cases by department

If you know which team or process you want to examine, start with a department guide. Explore accounts payable for invoice processing, accounts receivable for receivables, or procurement for procure-to-pay. You can also browse human resources, inventory management, IT, and order management.

Explore process mining use cases by industry

Industry guides put process analysis in the context of your operations. Browse banking, insurance, or healthcare providers. Other guides cover consumer goods, energy, healthcare payors, high tech, life sciences and pharma, manufacturing, the public sector, retail, telecommunications, and utilities.

For example, process mining use cases in financial services can examine how work moves through banking and insurance processes. Open a relevant guide to see the context and outcomes it covers.

Browse use cases by transformation theme

Some process mining use cases focus on a role or improvement goal rather than a department or industry. Explore guides for auditors, consulting and partner delivery, and education and academia. You can also browse enterprise process architecture, finance and shared services, process excellence, supply chain, and workforce productivity.

What each use-case guide covers

Each guide describes a process context and the improvement questions you can investigate. Depending on the use case, you might trace cycle time, find rework, check conformance, or see where work gets delayed. Each guide describes outcomes within its specific scope; it does not promise results.

Process mining shows how work flows in your event data. Process modeling helps you document the process, while simulation lets you examine possible changes before deciding what to do. Learn more about Process Mining and process simulation.

If you are preparing data for analysis, the process mining data documentation explains what data you need. For practical guidance on finding bottlenecks, read how to analyze your process and how to find automation opportunities with process mining.

Process Improvement Outcomes to Expect

The ranges below are typical expectations from process improvement work on high-volume processes, not a specific customer's verified results, nor a promise of future results.
50 %
Shorter Cycle Times

Reduce end-to-end process times by up to 30–50% in typical cases.

The largest gains appear in high-volume, rule-heavy processes such as order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and claims handling.

25 %
Lower Costs

Reach 10–25% cost savings in the departments you optimize.

Most of the saving comes from fewer handoffs, less rework, and shorter cycle times.

95 %
Detect Compliance Violations

Detect and correct 90–95% of non-compliant behavior early.

Finding deviations early limits the exposure that otherwise builds into fines and write-offs in banking and insurance.

40 %
Make Better Strategic Decisions

Improve business case accuracy by 20–40% using real performance data.

Teams retire change ideas the data does not support before they spend on them.

60 %
Improve the Customer Experience

Cut onboarding times by 25–60%.

Faster, cleaner onboarding shows up in conversion, retention, and customer lifetime value.
