The Fastest Way to Make Great Looking Flow Charts

FlowBreeze is the perfect tool for creating flowcharts because it makes flowcharting easy. FlowBreeze is a Microsoft® Excel® add-in that automates the flowcharting process by converting your text into flowcharts.

(Available in Standard and Basic Editions. See the feature comparison table.)

How FlowBreeze Works...

FlowBreeze lets you create flowcharts by just typing text. You just select the location where you want a flowchart symbol to be, type the process step description, and press <Enter>. The text is replaced by a flow chart symbol containing the text, formatting is applied, symbols are aligned, and a connector is automatically added from the last flowchart symbol.

You will also benefit from many other handy features that save you time and make flowcharting painless:

Message from the Founder of BreezeTree

I originally wrote this program as a flow chart tool for my personal use. Over the years as a Manufacturing Engineer and a Test Engineering Manager I've created hundreds of flow charts using all the "major" flowcharting programs. Many of them were good flow chart programs with loads of features, but when it came to making simple flowcharts they failed my basic usability test:

If I can create a flow chart faster with a pencil and paper than I can with the software, then the software is only a documentation tool - not a productivity tool.

The goal of FlowBreeze is to make creating flow charts as easy as using a pencil and paper, and I believe it does just that. Click here to buy a copy today or try a risk-free 30-day evaluation of FlowBreeze, and you'll see what I mean.

Sincerely,
