Clear Software provides a cloud-based platform that streamlines complex enterprise workflows by consolidating disparate systems into a single, intuitive interface.
Clear Software is a technology company specializing in business process management and automation software designed to simplify the complexity of enterprise computing. Founded with the goal of solving the "fragmented desktop" problem, the company provides a platform that allows organizations to consolidate multiple, disparate enterprise applications into a single, streamlined user interface.
The company primarily serves large enterprises that rely on complex, mission-critical systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, and Salesforce. By providing a layer of abstraction over these systems, Clear Software enables employees to execute complex business processes—such as supply chain management, financial reporting, and customer service—through a simplified and intuitive workflow.
Historically, Clear Software has positioned itself as a critical bridge for digital transformation. Their market presence is strongest in industries with heavy operational complexity, including manufacturing, retail, and logistics. In 2021, Clear Software was acquired by Microsoft, a move that integrated their robust process automation and integration capabilities into the Microsoft Power Platform ecosystem. This acquisition has expanded their reach, allowing their technology to serve as a cornerstone for organizations looking to enhance their robotic process automation (RPA) and low-code development strategies within the Azure and Microsoft 365 environments.
Company Differentiation
Clear Software is defined by its mission to humanize the enterprise software experience. While many integration vendors focus solely on the technical handshake between systems, Clear Software prioritizes the cognitive load of the end user. Their company culture is rooted in the belief that "complexity is the enemy of productivity," leading to a business model that emphasizes rapid time-to-value and reduced reliance on expensive systems integrators.
What sets them apart organizationally is their "process-first" philosophy. Rather than viewing digital transformation as a series of API connections, they view it as a streamlining of human activities. Their approach to customer success is highly consultative, often involving deep dives into existing fragmented workflows to identify where "alt-tabbing" between applications is hurting the bottom line. This focus on the human element of enterprise resource planning (ERP) makes them a strategic partner rather than just a software utility.
ClearWork Platform: The flagship UI/UX layer designed to simplify complex enterprise software into intuitive, logic-driven web pages.
ClearProcess Engine: The backend orchestration layer that handles the 'heavy lifting' of data movement and business logic between systems.
ClearBlocks Library: A library of pre-built integration templates for common ERP functions (e.g., SAP BAPIs, Oracle APIs) to jumpstart implementation.
ClearAnalytics: An embedded reporting suite that provides visibility into process health, user productivity, and automation success rates.
Product Differentiation
The flagship product, ClearProcess, differentiates itself through its ability to act as a unified "glass pane" across legacy systems, modern SaaS applications, and custom databases. Unlike traditional Business Process Management (BPM) tools that require heavy coding, Clear Software offers a low-code environment specifically optimized for complex ERP environments like SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce.
Key technical advantages include:
- **Unified User Interface:** It abstracts the complexity of underlying systems, allowing users to complete tasks (like "Order-to-Cash") without ever logging into the native, often cumbersome, ERP screens.
- **Deep Integration Layer:** It features pre-built connectors that handle the intricate business logic of legacy systems, ensuring data integrity across all platforms.
- **Intelligent Automation:** Beyond simple integration, the platform automates repetitive tasks within the workflow, reducing manual data entry and error rates.
- **Rapid Deployment:** Because it sits on top of existing systems rather than replacing them, organizations can modernize their user experience in weeks rather than the years typically required for a full ERP migration.
