Design clearer business architectures in minutes.
HexBuilder turns messy processes into a visual hex-map of functions, roles, and systems—so teams can see how the business actually works.
What is HexBuilder?
HexBuilder is a desktop modelling tool that lets you build visual “maps” of a business, service or process using hexagonal tiles. Each hex can represent a function, activity, role, system or anything that matters in your case.
Instead of long documents or complex diagrams, you get a clear, structured canvas that supports discussion, decision-making and learning. HexBuilder is especially useful when you need to explore “how everything fits together” with a group in real time.
Who is HexBuilder for?
For organisations & teams
Clarify how your business works today and how it should work tomorrow. Map functions, responsibilities and systems on one canvas and use it as a reference in development projects, onboarding and decision-making.
For consultants & facilitators
Run strategy, service design or process workshops with a visual canvas that clients immediately understand. Build the model together in the room, and leave the client with a clear, shareable map of what you created.
For educators
Use HexBuilder as an interactive “board” for case-based learning. Students can model companies, services and processes, see the whole picture, and discuss roles, information flows and systems in a hands-on way.
What can you do with HexBuilder?
Model businesses and services – Capture core activities, supporting functions and value streams in one structured view.
Clarify roles and responsibilities – Show who does what, where handovers happen and how teams connect.
Map systems and information flows – Visualise which IT systems support which parts of the business, and where gaps exist.
Support workshops and teaching – Use HexBuilder live in a classroom or workshop as an interactive tool instead of static slides.
Export and share models – Save, export and publish models (e.g. as HTML/XML) for use in reports, learning materials or internal documentation.

PROBEM
Companies and organizations struggle with complex structures, development projects, and the concretization of collaboration. Often the challenge stems from a lack of a common language: discussions are held in silos, without an overall vision.
SOLUTION
Clear and fast visual modeling that makes the whole visible and starts a shared discussion. Shared understanding leads to better decisions and more effective development.
Business is and should be complex. The visualizations and modeling made of it are not.
Key features
Hexagonal canvas
Build models using hex tiles that are easy to move, group and connect – like a strategic game board for your organisation.
Rich element metadata
Each hex can contain descriptions, roles, systems and other attributes, so you can go from high-level picture to meaningful detail.
Flexible filtering and views
Focus on specific roles, systems or parts of the model with filtering. Show the right level of detail for each audience.
Designed for interaction
HexBuilder is built to be used live in a room (or online screen share): moving tiles, adding elements and refining the model together.
Export for reuse
Publish models as files that can be reused in cooperation, documentation, induction, teaching or further analysis.
intuitive easy-to-use modeling view
Modeling does not require any special technical skills and is very quick to implement.
Now with AI-assisted modeling
You can now model with AI assistance, which gives you speed, new ideas and perspectives.
