Key Features:

SPECIALIZED IFS CONNECTORS

Novacura Flow is equipped with dedicated IFS connectors. No matter which IFS version your organization uses (IFS Cloud or older IFS Applications), you can easily connect Novacura Flow to it using pre-defined connectors that hide all the technical complexity behind an easily configurable user interface.

50+ CONNECTORS TO EXTERNAL SYSTEMS

Novacura Flow is armed with over 50 connectors to the most popular business systems, cloud platforms, and services, ensuring smooth integration.

EASY CREATION OF INTEGRATION SERVICES

You can create integration services in a visual way – instead of writing scripts, you can build them by drawing diagrams. You can combine multiple data exchange steps into complex processes, integrate various external systems within a single integration flow, and create advanced integration services in a way that is easy to understand and maintain.

DEDICATED TO ERP SYSTEMS

Novacura Flow Integration Engine is not just another Integration Platform. It is dedicated to cooperating with ERP systems. This platform has been by design prepared to expand IFS systems.

Novacura Flow “surrounds” the IFS system and constantly operates on ERP objects using authorized API methods (OData API for IFS Cloud, or PL/SQL API for IFS Applications).

MAINTAINED & CERTIFIED

New versions of IFS systems constantly bring changes to their APIs. Sometimes, when a new revolutionary version of an ERP comes to life, the entire connectivity technology and protocols are changed (i.e. the OData interface that was introduced with IFS Cloud, or the new REST API for SAP products). The compatibility is crucial to keeping our "deep ERP integration", therefore Novacura Flow Connectors are constantly maintained by our R&D team.

READY TO INTEGRATE EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

Novacura Flow can be used as a bridge to the latest technologies for the ERP system. It offers connectivity to cloud services like Artificial intelligence (AI), Document recognition, Computer vision, or Augmented reality. It also supports physical equipment integration, which is important for specific industries. It can be connected to gauges, machines, robots or vehicles.

READY TO INTEGRATE MULTIPLE ERPS

Novacura Flow can perfectly function as an integration platform and synchronize data between different business systems that exist in your organization. This situation typically arises in capital groups, where separate subsidiaries (operating in different regions) use different business systems, adapted to their country, scale and profile. Novacura Flow can integrate different types of ERP (i.e. Infor M3 and IBM Maximo), different versions of the same ERP (i.e. IFS Cloud and IFS Applications 9) or just 2 separate installations of the same IFS.

The technical ability to connect to IFS (via dedicated Connectors) is not enough to build real ERP integrations. To do that, the application developer must know all the necessary API objects (methods, entry points, projections, etc.) belonging to the large API consisting of 1000+ methods, projections, and endpoints. Moreover, the developer must know which methods and what sequence to use to complete complex tasks in the ERP. But our customers are not alone here – Novacura (as an IFS Channel partner) has a lot of knowledge about these APIs and is ready to help customers build the most complex ERP applications.
