Map your systems and data —
one business function at a time.
Which systems exchange what data — and for which business process? Cartova turns that question into one interactive map. Sketch your systems and dataflows in minutes, filter by business function or customer journey, and see at a glance where personal data travels, what breaks when a system fails, and where your data actually comes from.
shots/cartova-hero.png hereThe problem
Nobody can see the data landscape.
Your application landscape lives in diagrams that are out of date the day they're drawn.
-
🗺 Diagrams go stale
Static Visio drawings never keep up. The moment a system or integration changes, the picture is wrong — and nobody trusts it.
-
🔍 Personal data hides
Where does personal data actually flow? Answering it means archaeology across spreadsheets, tickets and tribal knowledge.
-
💥 Impact is guesswork
If this system goes down, what stops? Without a live map of dependencies, impact analysis is a room full of assumptions.
What it does
Your application landscape on one interactive canvas
Cartova turns "which systems exchange what data, for which business process?" into a single interactive map. Draw your systems and the dataflows between them, and Cartova arranges everything from source to consumer with minimal crossing lines.
Filter to one business function or customer journey and the map reshapes to exactly that chain — then press play to watch the data move through it, step by step. Switch to 3D to present it in the boardroom.
shots/cartova-flows.png hereKey features
Everything you need to map, analyse and present dataflows
From a living map to privacy lenses and lineage — Cartova covers the full application-landscape workflow in one environment.
-
One living map of systems and dataflows
Systems and dataflows automatically arranged from source to consumer with as few crossing lines as possible — re-optimised on every filter change. Switch to 3D for presentations.
-
Business functions as your lens
Pick a business function or customer journey and the map reshapes to exactly that chain — with a play button that animates the flow sequence step by step.
-
Privacy in one click
The PII lens shows only the systems and flows carrying personal data — your GDPR data landscape without spreadsheet archaeology.
-
Impact analysis & data lineage
See instantly what is hit downstream when a system fails, and trace the path data travels between any two systems across the whole chain.
-
Data quality, guarded
The quality report flags missing owners, unclassified flows and orphaned systems — so the map you present is a map you can trust.
-
Excel in, boardroom out
Lossless Excel round-trip; exports to PowerPoint (editable shapes), PDF, Visio (.vsdx) and a shareable view-only copy.
Analysis & governance
Answer the questions that used to take weeks
Cartova keeps your application landscape current, explainable and presentable — so the hard questions about data become a click, not a project.
- "Where does our personal data flow?" The PII lens isolates every system and flow that touches personal data.
- "What breaks if this system fails?" Downstream impact highlighted across the chain instantly.
- "Where does this data come from?" Trace lineage between any two systems, end to end.
- "Show me the customer-onboarding journey." Filter to one business function and animate the flow.
- "Is the model complete?" The quality report flags missing owners, unclassified flows and orphans.
- "Put it in front of the board." Present in 2D or 3D, export editable slides and diagrams.
