Nodra vs Celonis
Celonis tells you how your company should work. Nodra makes the way you already work go faster.
Celonis is the best-known name in process mining, and its ambition is large: connect your ERP and CRM, reconstruct every case, measure where the process deviates from the way it should run, and change it. That is a transformation program, with the data work, the modeling and the organizational change it implies.
Nodra starts from the opposite premise. How you sell, approve, ship and serve is your decision, and often your edge. We do not redesign it. We observe how the work flows across every application, including the spreadsheets and emails no system log records, find the steps people repeat by hand, and show you which ones to remove first.
Change your process, or make it faster?
The same process, two approaches. Celonis measures it against a target model and changes its shape. Nodra keeps its shape and takes out the manual work inside each step.
Nodra vs Celonis, side by side
| Dimension | Nodra | Celonis |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Your process as it is, and it stays yours | A target model your process is measured against |
| What changes | The manual, repeated work inside each step | The process itself: its steps, order and rules |
| Data source | How work flows across every application on the desktop | Event logs extracted from ERP, CRM and other systems |
| Spreadsheets, email and work between systems | Measured, that is where it looks first | Not in event logs; desktop capture is a separate Task Mining product |
| Integrations | None: one lightweight agent, installed by your IT | Connectors, extraction and a data model per system |
| Effort for your teams | None: people keep working as usual | Data, process and change teams to run the program |
| What you receive | What to automate first, ranked and explained in a meeting | Process analytics and dashboards to operate |
| After the change | Nodra measures again and shows the time recovered | Ongoing monitoring inside the platform |
| Data protection | Minimized on the device, pseudonymized, Italian infrastructure | Event data extracted into the Celonis platform |
Why companies choose Nodra over Celonis
Your way of working stays yours
No target model and no reorganization. We find the manual work inside your process, and you decide what to change.
It sees the work no log records
Spreadsheet checks, email approvals, copy and paste between tools: the repeated work that never reaches an ERP is exactly what Nodra measures.
Answers in weeks, not a program
One agent and no integrations. A typical audit collects two to four weeks of data, then our analysts walk you through what to automate first.
Nodra or Celonis: which should you choose?
Celonis asks how your company should work. Nodra asks how much faster the way you already work could go. If you want to keep what makes your company yours and give your people their time back, start with Nodra.
Celonis fits when you want to redesign end-to-end processes inside a large ERP estate and you have data and change teams ready to run that program.

Frequently asked questions
Is Nodra a Celonis alternative?
Yes, when the goal is to work faster rather than to redesign your processes. Celonis reconstructs processes from system logs and measures them against a target model. Nodra observes how work flows across every application and finds the manual, repeated steps worth automating, without integrations and without changing how you work.
What is the main difference between Nodra and Celonis?
Celonis changes the process; Nodra removes the manual work inside it. Celonis is process mining on ERP and CRM event logs. Nodra is a workflow intelligence service that also sees the work between systems, in spreadsheets, email and legacy tools, where most repetitive work lives.
Does Nodra need ERP integrations like Celonis?
No. One lightweight agent, installed centrally by your IT, observes how work flows on the computers in scope. There are no connectors to build and no data model to maintain.
Is Nodra cheaper than Celonis?
The models differ: Nodra is a scoped audit service with optional follow-up, while Celonis is a platform subscription plus an implementation program. Ask us for a written quote to compare like for like.
Can we use Nodra and Celonis together?
Yes. Celonis covers the cases inside your ERP; Nodra covers the manual work around it that no event log records. Starting with Nodra shows where the time goes before you commit to a larger program.
