Flowmatters

Businesses held back by their own systems are the focus of custom software work from Flowmatters. The firm describes its purpose as turning operational bottlenecks into strategic assets, through custom software and intelligent automation that provide a scalable base for future growth. It says many companies are slowed by the technology that should support them, with customer, product and financial information scattered across separate systems and core processes that depend on complicated spreadsheets and manual workarounds.

Software and automation for operational problems

The firm's services are built around four areas: product strategy and design, custom software development, mobile development and the modernisation of legacy systems. It says it builds complex system integrations that create a single source of truth across an organisation, so that teams can see the business in real time rather than piece it together by hand. It also develops AI-powered automation to remove repetitive tasks and raise operational efficiency.

Clients whose current system is too rigid, too fragile or too costly to change can, according to the firm, have their legacy platforms modernised into flexible, scalable architectures that allow new products and services to be launched.

A four-phase partnership

The firm presents its process as a partnership rather than a simple project. The first phase is a strategic diagnosis, in which the team looks beyond stated requirements to find the root cause of a client's problems and sets out a blueprint for the return on investment. The second phase is collaborative architecture, which produces a sturdy, scalable and future-proof technical foundation for the business. The third is transparent co-creation, in which the client sees and works with the actual progress every week instead of waiting for a finished product. The fourth is continuous evolution, which keeps the software changing as new challenges and opportunities arise after launch.

Health platforms and data-driven work

The firm points to a project that built a platform for an evidence-based healthspan service in Europe, and presents it as an example of its work with data-driven systems. It says its clients are businesses large and small across many industries, and that each engagement is shaped to the business specifics of the client's sector rather than applied from a generic template. The firm also says the work is built around the client's real challenges, which research is used to identify before any solution is proposed.
