Software for factories and warehouses
Know what's on the shelf, what's late, and why.
Flōware keeps track of your stock, orders and production, and tells you when something's going wrong. We set it up around how you work.
The problem
We fix the problems that cost you time and money.
These are the problems we hear about most often, each with the change Flōware makes.
Goods receipts keyed by hand: wrong SKUs, miscounts, missed lines
With Flōware: Every line scanned against the order
Stock numbers you don't trust
With Flōware: Stock kept by rack and bin, counted by scanner
Paper slips get lost or only typed in days later
With Flōware: Work recorded on scanners as it happens
Orders get stuck somewhere
With Flōware: Flagged on screen before the customer calls
Can't trace which batch shipped where (recalls are a scramble)
With Flōware: Each job records the batches it used and made
Orders ship but invoices slip, and revenue leaks
With Flōware: Nothing ships without being billed
How it fits together
Every scan on the floor shows up in the office.
Each zone records its work as it happens, on scanners, printers and screens we supply. It all lands in one place.

Receiving bay
Scan deliveries in at the door.
Every box is checked against the purchase order as it comes off the truck. Too many or too few, you know on the spot.
- Checked against the order, line by line
- Over-receipts caught before they reach the shelf
- A label for every box or batch
Machines and assembly
Know which batch went into each product you make.
Every job records the batches of raw material it used, and stamps a batch on what it makes.
- Raw batches recorded on every job
- A batch number on everything you make
- Trace back to the supplier, or forward to the customer
Dispatch
Check every order before it leaves.
Every pick is scanned against the order, so the right stock goes on the truck. The delivery note prints without prices, with the carrier and tracking number on the order.
- The lot or serial number on every line
- Part shipments when stock runs short
- Delivery notes without prices
The difference
Here's what changes with Flōware.
Your team spends less time chasing and checking.
- Catch problems early
- When an order gets stuck or stock runs low, the right people hear about it.
- Numbers you can trust
- Every move is scanned once, with who did it and when.
- Protect your margin
- Prices and discounts follow your rules. A discount over your limit needs a second person to approve it.
- Set up and run for you
- We set it up to fit how your business works. Then we host it, update it and support it. You never write code.
Why Flōware
Why not just use what you have?
Most businesses we meet use spreadsheets, accounting software or a big system. Here is where each one falls short.
- Your floor's numbers arrive days late, from paper.
- With Flōware: Flōware records each move on a scanner as it happens, so the screen matches the shelf.
- Accounting sees the invoice, not the floor.
- With Flōware: Keep it for your books. Flōware runs your floor and office alongside it.
- A long project, and nobody behind your scanners and printers.
- With Flōware: We shape Flōware to how you work, supply the scanners and printers, and run it for you. You never write code.
