Comparison · Celonis process mining

UpFlux vs Celonis: the process mining that closes the loop between insight and execution.

Celonis popularized the real process map. UpFlux delivers the same map and what comes next: AI agents that execute in the ERP and a hard-currency return that is auditable per initiative. Process intelligence in the Gartner Market Guide, with a Center of Excellence included.

// the difference in one line

Celonis shows where the process hurts. UpFlux shows, acts and returns hard currency.

Both platforms start from the same principle, read what the ERP records and reconstruct the real process. UpFlux goes further: the same event logs feed the AI agents that execute the corrective action inside the ERP, and every initiative carries a financial return reconciled with the general ledger, the RoAI.

// three layers, one platform

Mining, execution and return, under the same data model.

01 · Mining

The same real process map

Event by event, from the ERP. Variants, bottlenecks, rework and conformance, measured in days and hard currency. It is the base Celonis popularized, and it is the base of UpFlux, without depending on workshops.

02 · Nous

Agents that act, not just suggest

Where Celonis stops at insight and delegates execution to RPA and integrations, UpFlux delivers AI agents that execute the action in the ERP: reprocess, approve, collect, negotiate, escalate, with a per-transaction audit trail.

03 · RoAI

Auditable return, not estimated

Every initiative is born tied to a financial KPI and reconciled with the general ledger. It moves from an estimated business case to hard-currency return, initiative by initiative, with a trail for the CFO.

// frequently asked

UpFlux vs Celonis, what buyers ask.

Is UpFlux an alternative to Celonis?

+

Yes. UpFlux is the only Brazilian vendor listed in the Gartner Market Guide for Process Mining and has operated enterprise process intelligence for 8 years, with native connectors to SAP, TOTVS Protheus, Datasul, TASY, MV, Salesforce and ServiceNow. Contract, support, invoicing and data are in local language and currency for the Brazilian market.

What is the core difference between UpFlux and Celonis?

+

Celonis is the reference for revealing the real process and generating insight. UpFlux delivers the same real process map and closes the loop: AI agents (Nous) execute actions inside the ERP based on what mining revealed, and RoAI audits, in hard currency, the return of each initiative. It is process mining with execution and auditable return, not just a dashboard.

Do I need to swap my ERP or migrate data?

+

No. UpFlux connects to the existing ERP through native APIs, SAP, TOTVS, TASY, MV, Salesforce and ServiceNow. No migration, no refactoring, no parallel project. Event logs are read where they already live.

How does RoAI differ from a traditional business case?

+

RoAI is the auditable return of the initiative: every improvement hypothesis is born tied to a financial KPI in the ERP and is tracked until the result in hard currency, with an event trail. It is not a workshop estimate, it is a reconciliation with the general ledger.

How long until the first real process map?

+

In a UpFlux diagnostic engagement, the first real process map, with variants, bottlenecks and rework quantified in hard currency, comes out in weeks, not months. The Center of Excellence stands up in parallel to operate process mining continuously.
