Building Smarter Workflows, Faster: How Here’s Workflow API and Customizable UI Drive Enterprise Productivity

In today’s enterprise environments, productivity is won or lost at the margins – between manual clicks, redundant searches and the time it takes to stitch together a dozen disconnected apps. Despite years of effort and significant investment in modernizing their technology, many organizations still rely on their knowledge workers to be the "integration layer" between tools.

Here Enterprise Browser solves this by taking a radically different approach — one that empowers enterprises to unify workflows, secure data and tailor user experiences to the work at hand. Here™’s workflow API and customizable user interface lie at the heart of this strategy, giving teams the tools to build efficient, context-aware workspaces that actually match the way they operate.

Maximum Workflow Flexibility

Here™’s workflow API enables developers to extend, enhance, and connect applications directly on the desktop – whether they’re proprietary platforms, open-source tools or third-party SaaS products with closed-source code.

Using a simple, declarative syntax, teams can inject behavior into existing applications and pass context between apps, even across vendors. This interoperability is critical when it comes to eliminating tedious, manual workflows like rekeying data and searching for information across the desktop. The workflow API is fully aware of context, so it can identify specific user events – such as a click, selection, or tab change – and trigger downstream actions (including via actionable notifications), enabling streamlined workflows. Users are immediately prompted to follow defined processes or take the next logical action, fostering productivity and consistency.

Ultimately, enterprises gain the benefit of orchestrating workflows without requiring access to backend APIs. Even systems that were never built to interoperate can now work together as part of a seamless user journey.

Client-Side by Design: A Different Kind of API

Here™’s APIs are unique in the enterprise landscape because they sit entirely on the client side, creating far-reaching benefits for both speed and security.

With Here™, sensitive data never touches a third-party vendor’s server – instead, workflows stay confined to the client’s own desktop and network perimeter. This isn't just a security feature — it’s a compliance game-changer for teams handling regulated data in finance, government, and other sensitive sectors. This is the only way for enterprises to achieve a true Zero-Trust architecture. When data remains fully within a firm’s own walls, it can’t be leaked.

Here™ also enables faster, lighter integration. Traditional server-side integrations often require months of work, full-stack coordination and ongoing maintenance. Integrations in Here™ are far more streamlined, often requiring just two or three lines of code – no backend coordination, no app rebuilds and no operational overhead. In many cases, all it takes is one hour of focused work from one developer to incorporate an app into a given workflow.

The small lift and extremely low total cost of ownership opens the door to automating parts of the workflow that were previously uneconomical to invest in. This gives organizations a clear path to reclaiming productivity at scale.

Across the board, Here™’s API architecture is designed to be both developer-friendly and enterprise-ready:

Purpose-Built Workspaces

In addition to productivity, security, and development benefits, Here™’s API framework enables enterprises to design and deploy user interfaces tailored to specific tasks. Whether through overlays, persistent panels, popups, or full workspaces, Here™ makes it possible to match the UI to the workflow, not the other way around.

With Here’s customizable Supertabs, enterprises can:

All of this happens on the user’s desktop, with no need to re-platform or build net-new apps. Enterprises bring their existing tools, and Here makes them work better together.

Real-World Use Case: KYC/AML Transformation

For many enterprises, KYC and AML compliance can be one of the most tedious aspects of the client onboarding process. Despite extensive technical investment, many teams still rely on as many as 20 different apps originating from a range of providers to perform this work. Without the ability to share data and context, this fragmentation can result in high error rates, long cycle times and stressed-out analysts.

Using Here™’s workflow API and UI framework, clients can build task-based workspaces that bring together all relevant applications in a single, unified interface. Data entered in one app automatically surfaces in others, with context flowing easily between tools. In addition, the streamlined integrations enabled by Here mean teams can constantly make optimizations and refinements to key processes, resulting in future-proof KYC/AML workflows.

By leveraging the full power of Here, clients can achieve productivity gains of up to 40% and up to 45 seconds saved per KYC/AML task. No new applications built, no data exposed, no backend code changed – just operational transformation. Download the full case study to learn more: Boost KYC/AML Productivity by 40% with Here™

Conclusion: A Better Way to Work

Whether you're modernizing compliance workflows, unifying front-office tools or giving knowledge workers a better digital experience holistically, Here™’s workflow API and customizable UI provide the flexibility, control and performance to do it efficiently and on your terms.

Instead of forcing employees to manually bridge fragmented tools, Here™ lets enterprises embed intelligence, integration and automation directly into the user experience. It's how work gets done — securely, seamlessly and at scale.
