Managing a supply chain today means dealing with a complex, constantly changing system full of variables.
Each process involves different players, strict regulations and an ever-increasing amount of data that is increasingly difficult to manage.
In this context, digitalisation can bring about truly effective change.
It is precisely this need that has led to the creation of iFlow, the new BPM module integrated into iChain 2.0, the Wiseside platform for supply chain traceability and collaborative management.
A digital map to navigate operational flows
iFlow is a full-featured BPM module that allows you to model, orchestrate and monitor every business process, finally bringing strategic vision and day-to-day operations into alignment.
It all starts with a clear and shared representation.
With iFlow, each process is represented using BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation): an international standard that translates operational complexity into a visual model that can be read by everyone.
Managers, technicians and operators no longer speak different languages.
With iFlow, they can collaborate on the same map, view the entire flow intuitively, and accurately identify critical points, bottlenecks and opportunities for optimisation.
Two roles, one shared language
With iFlow:
- Technicians can define conditions, events, tasks and operational logic with precision and consistency.
- Managers can view process performance and take action to improve it.
iFlow is a bridge between different skills: a tool that allows you to create organisational awareness, starting from real flows.
Each process designed describes a way of working and, above all, paves the way for improving it.
From models to action
The real value of iFlow? It lies in the transition from models to operations.
It does not just represent processes: it sets them in motion.
Each step in the flow can generate an automatic event, trigger a notification, or start a scheduled task. This allows you to:
- automate repetitive tasks;
- monitor bottlenecks and progress;
- document every action within the information system.
A concrete example: in a food supply chain, it is possible to model the goods receipt process and associate each stage – from unloading to quality control to accounting for entry into the warehouse – to a digital event.
The result?
Real-time traceability, fewer errors, continuous monitoring.
A process that is no longer just written down, but alive, and finally under control.
A model that adapts to change
One of the most significant strengths of iFlow is its flexibility.
Once a process has been modelled, it is never set in stone: it can be updated, revised and adapted at any time.
You can modify activities, add conditions, review roles or sequences, and every change is implemented in real time by the platform, without having to start from scratch.
It is a dynamic approach, designed for companies that need to react quickly to new operational, regulatory or market requirements, without losing control throughout the supply chain.
Real efficiency, measurable results: the impact of iFlow in AgriFood
iFlow is already in action in the AgriFood sector, where it has been used to digitally model the main stages of the production cycle and associate them with digital events.
From a single interface, it is possible to:
- monitor every operational step in real time;
- quickly intercept anomalies or deviations from the expected flow;
- intervene in a targeted manner, where and when needed.
The results?
More transparency for everyone, faster response times, fewer errors and tangible savings on materials and document management.
A new process culture
With the iFlow module, iChain evolves from a traceability platform to a comprehensive tool for modelling, orchestrating and managing business processes.
In a context where supply chains are increasingly dynamic, interconnected and vulnerable, iFlow is not just another technical function: it is a different lens through which to view the organisation.
A way to improve practices, highlight critical issues and connect technology and strategy in a single operating environment.
Because modelling a process is the first step to understanding it.
And understanding a process is the only way to manage it.
