Why we Founded Skan?

The genesis of Skan is rooted in the practical experience of our founders while working on automation and transformation projects for Fortune 500 companies and seeing bots flail and flail and millions in digitalization efforts not yielding fruit. This led to a realization that without understanding processes and their variants and the resulting operational intelligence any intervention such as digitalization, automation and optimization are futile.

Skan’s unique approach leverages computer vision, deep learning, and machine intelligence to observe, learn, assemble, and optimize business processes without intrusion or integration. The output in the form of a process metamodel and digital process twins makes it a breeze to model, simulate, and measure the future state in a sandbox.

Skan is headquartered in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley with a development center in Bangalore, India.
