What HiFlow Solutions does

HiFlow Solutions is a private, family-owned software company founded in Poland in 2000 that develops HiFlow 4.0, an AI-powered ERP/MIS platform purpose-built for packaging and printing manufacturers. The platform comprises 70+ configurable modules covering sales, estimating, production planning, visual workflow scheduling, shop floor data collection (MES/SCADA), warehouse management with 16 sub-modules, financials, and business intelligence with Power BI integration. Notable proprietary elements include a visual workflow system, FEFCO/ECMA packaging template libraries, an AI-driven estimating engine (HiFlow Quote), an AI logistics suite for bill of lading processing and procure-to-pay automation, packaging-specific imposition tools (HiFlow IMP), and integrations with Esko, Hybrid Software, SAP, SAGE, NetSuite, QuickBooks, and Microsoft Dynamics. The company serves folding carton manufacturers, flexible packaging converters, label and tag converters, corrugated converters, and commercial printers expanding into packaging, with named customers in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and cannabis packaging applications.

HiFlow monetizes primarily through enterprise subscription licenses available in cloud or on-premises deployments, bundled with required annual maintenance contracts that deliver software updates at least four times per year. Adjacent revenue streams include implementation services, on-site and remote training, and custom development delivered through sister company InfoSolutions (50+ developers). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; the company runs a freemium acquisition motion via the free HiFlow IMP desktop imposition application distributed through Microsoft Store and its website to funnel SMB estimators into the full ERP platform. Sales is consultative and direct, with an enterprise motion comprising discovery, live demonstrations, on-site workflow evaluation, and ROI analysis, supported by regional offices in Miami (North America headquarters), Warsaw (European headquarters and primary R&D center), and Mexico City (Latin America operations).

The company reports 120+ customers and 5,500+ users across North America, Europe, and Latin America, with North American operations launched in 2019. In January 2025 HiFlow became a Microsoft AI Cloud Partner, integrating Azure AI capabilities and Power BI, and between 2025 and 2026 launched AI-driven PO management, an AI logistics suite, a standalone AI estimating platform (HiFlow Quote), and a Hybrid Software prepress integration announced at the Fusion Packaging Summit 2026. Leadership comprises CEO Mariusz Sosnowski, VP of Sales Alfonso Hernandez Jr. (appointed September 2024, previously at eProductivity Software, EFI, and X-Rite Pantone), and Business Development Manager Steve De Benedetto (appointed October 2025). The company operates without external funding or parent company ownership.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• eProductivity Software: eProductivity Software is the leading direct competitor in packaging and commercial-print MIS/ERP, offering Estimating, Scheduling, Shop Floor, and BI modules to converters in North America and Europe - the closest like-for-like rival to HiFlow's HiFlow 4.0 platform.
• CERM: CERM is a Belgian-headquartered MIS provider that has served folding carton, flexible packaging, label, and corrugated converters for decades, with estimating, planning, WMS, and shop-floor modules that map almost identically to HiFlow's vertical ERP offering.
• Avanti Slingshot: Avanti Slingshot is a Canadian print MIS/JDF platform widely used across commercial print and packaging operations for estimating, scheduling, and production tracking - a direct competitor for HiFlow's commercial printer and folding carton segments.
• Aleyant Systems: Aleyant provides web-to-print, estimating, and MIS software used by commercial printers and packaging converters, overlapping with HiFlow in estimating/quoting workflows and serving as a direct rival for SMB and mid-market packaging printers.
• Tharstern: Tharstern is a UK-headquartered MIS supplier focused on print and packaging production with estimating, scheduling, and job tracking modules - a regional peer that competes with HiFlow for European packaging and commercial print accounts.

Broad incumbents

• Esko (Veralto): Esko, part of Veralto, is the dominant packaging prepress and structural design platform (ArtiosCAD, Automation Engine) sitting adjacent to HiFlow's ERP - a broad incumbent that integrates with HiFlow but also competes in packaging workflow automation.
• Quadient: Quadient offers enterprise document automation, customer communications, and print/mail workflow software that overlaps with HiFlow in commercial print and packaging customer-communications workflows, though from a broader, mail-and-document angle.
• Microsoft Dynamics 365: Microsoft Dynamics 365 (Finance, Supply Chain, Project Ops) is the general-purpose ERP that HiFlow integrates with via Power BI and Azure, and competes with HiFlow when packaging manufacturers choose a broad ERP over a best-of-breed vertical system.
• SAP Business One / S/4HANA: SAP's ERP suites (Business One for SMB, S/4HANA for enterprise) are the large-incumbent alternative HiFlow integrates with, often selected by multi-national packaging groups in standardized ERP rollouts versus vertical-specific systems.

Others

• Hybrid Software: Hybrid Software is a prepress and packaging workflow vendor that signed a strategic integration with HiFlow at the 2026 Fusion Packaging Summit; comparable as a fellow packaging-software ecosystem player rather than a direct ERP rival.
