Latex Tikz - Process flow image

Question

I am trying to reproduce such image with Tikz.

I`ve started writing latex code, and I produced image below:

And the latex code is below.

I would like to request your help to make my generated picture as similar as possible from the original one.

\documentclass[10pt]{article} 
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{bch} 

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{tikz} 
\usetikzlibrary{arrows,decorations.pathmorphing,backgrounds,fit,positioning,shapes.symbols,shapes.arrows, chains, arrows.meta}
\tikzset{>={Latex[width=1mm,length=1mm]}}


\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[h]

\centering
\begin{tikzpicture}

Welcome to TeX.SX!Maybe helpful links for the arrow part: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/134178/124842 and the boxes with smart diagramm: https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/271418/124842 — Bobyandbob, Sep 23 '17 at 16:04
What does text badly centered do? Never seen this used before. — cfr, Sep 23 '17 at 16:48
You can use shapes.arrows to get node shapes for the outlined arrows in the top line. I think it will be easiest to get the text closer to just type the text you want directly, rather than typing other text and then finding it doesn't match the target image. That is, I take it you want the text, if you really mean 'as similar as possible'. Otherwise, you obviously shouldn't lie to Babel. — cfr, Sep 23 '17 at 16:51
For the shaded arrows: either use nodes as above or use a scope shading. In the latter case, you can draw the arrows as lines. In the former case, you can simply shade each one as usual. — cfr, Sep 23 '17 at 16:53
