On December 5th, 2025, Novacura hosted its Q4 Quarterly News webinar to wrap up a year of significant transformation for the Novacura Flow Platform.

This session provided users with a transparent view of the final 2025 updates, focusing on flow connect stability, AI-powered automation and the official launch of the new Marketplace

Belów, we break down the main themes covered during the Q4 webinar, highlighting, how we’ve turned the promises of earlier quarters into reality, and what new key features our users can expect in 2026. 

Q4 Product release: Powering the Future with AI-driven insights and a new Marketplace experience

Closing the year with a major leap forward, our Q4 update positions Flow Connect as a modern environment, delivering enhanced automation and an improved user experience:

  • Seamless Offline and Async Operations
    Building on the “Async” capabilities introduced the past, the Q4 update finalizes the offline client capabilities. The demo showcased a sophisticated logistics scenario where data preloading and background synchronization now happen with zero latency for the end-user. This ensures that Novacura Flow Connect is the premier choice for low-connectivity environments like remote sites or deep-storage warehouses. 
  • New Map Portlet
    The Map Portlet has been officially introduced to the Portal. This allows for advanced geographic data visualization directly within Custom Content Portals. Users can now view real-time asset locations or service routes on interactive maps and take action directly from the dashboard. 
  • Phrasebook: Centralized Translation Management
    The Translation Management System (Phrasebook) is now fully operational Supporting ICU formatting, this feature allows developers to translate a statement once and reference it across all applications. This eliminates the need to translate the same phrase multiple times, ensuring a consistent, multilingual user experience globally. 

Marketplace: the new Platform is LIVE!

The most anticipated update of Q4 was the official transition to the new Novacura Marketplace Platform:

A promotional graphic for Novacura Marketplace with a blue background. Large white text at the top reads, "AVAILABLE NOW! MARKETPLACE SUBSCRIBERS WILL RECEIVE EMAIL INVITATIONS". Below the text, there are three screenshots of the software: a desktop interface showing a list of applications including "HubSpot Integration" on the left, a desktop view of the marketplace with a grid of app cards in the upper right, and a mobile phone displaying the marketplace with a detailed view of the "Supplier Invoice Automation (IFS Applications)" app in the lower right.
  • The Public Portal

    Features significantly better filtering by ERP system, a clear distinction between “Examples” and “Full Application Packages”.

  • One Click Enabling

    The Transactional Part of the marketplace now allows for “one-click” app activation, deploying solutions directly into the environment.

  • AI Powered Search

    Users can now find relevant applications among over 200 listings using natural language prompts (e.g., “Show me apps for mobile maintenance in IFS Cloud”).

  • New Strategic Packages

    We officially released the Supplier Invoice Automation and Time Reporting for Regular Employees packages.

The AI frontier: Flow Connect Co-Pilot

The AI-Powered Flow Connect Co-Pilot is now available to help users with development questions through real-time chat. Whether you need help writing a specific Flow Script or understanding an error message, the Co-Pilot acts as an expert assistant built directly into the Workflow Designer, making onboarding to Flow Connect faster than ever.

Automation: Intelligence at scale

Novacura continues to streamline workflow modernization and migration capabilities:

  • AI-Driven Automation Insights 
    The Automation Analytics Dashboard introduced in Q2 has evolved. It now features the Data Analysis AI Copilot, which provides automated summaries of server-side runs. Instead of just monitoring success or failure, the AI now identifies performance trends and suggests optimizations for individual workflow steps.
  • Security and Provisioning
    To support large-scale enterprise deployments, we have introduces Azure AD SCIM user provisioning. This automates user management and role assignments, significantly reducing administrative overhead for IT departments. 

Strategic updates: the Flow Classic decommissioning roadmap

  • Focusing on the Future
    To ensure we deliver the highest level of security, performance and AI integration, Novacura will begin the gradual sunsetting of Flow Classic. This shift allows our engineering teams to dedicate 100% of their resources to the modern Connect architecture, which already offers superior functionality. 
  • Advanced OData Migration Wizard
    The Import Wizard for OData workflow migration has been upgraded with deeper error identification and script optimization suggestions. This tool remains the bridge for customers moving from Flow Classic to Flow Connect, making it easier than ever to adopt IFS Cloud-compatible modules without manual rewriting. 
  • Extended Support & Guidance

    We understand that many customers still rely on Classic workflows. Therefore, we have established a defined “restricted support” period. During this time, Flow Classic will continue to receive critical security patches and bug fixes, but no new features will be added.

  • The “Zero Stress” Migration Path

    To support this transition, we’ve heavily invested in our Migration Tools. The upgraded OData Import Wizard and the Upgrade Companion Tool are designed to automate the heavy lifting. Our goal is to make the move to Flow Connect a seamless transition rather than a rebuild.

  • Expert Support at Every Step

    Novacura is committed to a “leave no workflow behind” policy. Our professional services team is ready to provide guided assessments to help you prioritize your migration roadmap and ensure your business continuity remains uninterrupted.

Summary

The Q4 2025 update represents the culmination of our year-long focus on enhancing offline capabilities, simplifying migration, and integrating AI. With the launch of the new Marketplace and the maturity of Flow Connect, Novacura Flow has become more accessible, efficient, and intelligent.

We are excited to see how these new tools empower our users to drive even greater automation in 2026.
