Together with our hardware device **Smart Cap**, Flow creates a continuous data layer and delivers real-time transparency into **location, fill level, temperature, movement, and usage**. The result: fewer blind spots, more control, and measurable operational impact. Across releases **3.5.0 to 3.19.0**, our 2025 focus was simple: strengthen the foundations that matter most in daily operations — **flexible data structures**, **powerful automation**, **more reliable tracking**, and a **better user experience** for teams managing complex fleets, multiple locations, and many stakeholders. ### 1) Flexible data models to match real processes Flow is now significantly easier to tailor to your business reality. Expanded **company-defined fields** — including **select**, **multi-select**, **array**, and **file attachment fields** — allow teams to capture process-critical information directly on the asset, from documents and photos to internal status fields. This reduces manual work and system breaks — especially when Flow is used as the digital layer on top of Smart Cap in the field. ### 2) Automation that truly reduces workload A major theme in 2025 was upgrading **automated actions and notifications**. Flow now supports richer logic, multiple recipient groups, and more granular triggers — based on **places, place types, and company-defined fields**, including observing times, delays, and maintenance or expiration dates. For customers, this means less manual monitoring, faster response to events, and clearer responsibilities — ideal for scaling supply chain operations. ### 3) Smarter tracking and higher trust in location data To unlock the full value of Smart Cap, we made major improvements to Flow’s **tracking intelligence** in 2025: detection in **ports and sea transport**, more robust handling of **implausible location data**, improved distance calculations, and visibility of **arrival time and duration at a place** right in the containers list. This brings more clarity to daily operations — and reduces uncertainty around handovers, dwell times, and inventory. ### 4) Stronger device management and dependable analytics To support larger fleets, device management became clearer and more efficient (e.g., **version-specific configuration and filtering** and **SIM provider filtering**). In parallel, **Packwise Analytics** received performance and stability improvements — enabling confident, data-driven decisions. ### 5) Continuous improvements to quality and UX Alongside new features, we delivered ongoing refinements across stability, consistency, and localization — ensuring Flow performs reliably across web and mobile usage. **In summary:** The 2025 releases made Packwise Flow an even stronger driver of operational performance — as the **software companion to Smart Cap** and the central platform to automate workflows, reduce losses, and optimize reusable container operations with data. **Want to see Packwise Flow in action?** Customers and prospects are always welcome to reach out — we’re happy to share a **software walkthrough** and discuss the **synergy effects** achieved through the combination of **Smart Cap + Flow** in your specific use case. ---   ## Related Articles [Packwise Solution](https://blog.packwise.de/en/tag/packwise-solution) #### New Packwise Flow Features 2024 The year 2024 brings a wealth of new features to our software, designed to optimize workflows, reduce costs, and improve user experience.
