Turn your processes and workflows into multi-user applications, run tasks in parallel, use sub-workflows, send push notifications, create components that can be reused and much more. Flow apps work on practically every device: tablets, mobile phones, laptops, PCs, barcode scanners, handheld terminals and more. They work both online and offline, so you’re not dependent on a WiFi signal.
Connect everything together
Novacura Flow acts as a layer on top of your existing business systems: a layer containing all your business processes, where you can connect your people, processes and technology exactly how you want to. Flow can connect to almost any program, database, web service, IoT hub, cloud service or business system. We currently support API, SOAP, REST and many other connectors. And if there’s a connector you’d like us to add? All you have to do is ask. We’re adding new connectors all the time.
