Flowls

What Flowls does

Flowls is a cloud-based, all-in-one platform for managing foreign trade logistics, headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil. Its core offering centralizes data and communication across previously siloed systems — Brazilian customs (Siscomex), ocean carriers, vessels (AIS), couriers, and ERP — into a single workflow environment, with native integrations spanning 10+ shipping lines (Maersk, MSC, Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM, COSCO, Hamburg Süd, Evergreen, ONE, ZIM, HMM, China Shipping), a bidirectional SAP connector, and a low-code integration layer exposing 100+ pre-built application connectors. Modules include container tracking, vessel tracking, courier tracking, lead-time management, automations, custom forms/reports, PDF document generation, Kanban process views, business intelligence (Flowls BI), and an AI assistant (Flowls AI / Flowlzito).

The platform is built on a RESTful API architecture with a dynamic data structure that reflects customer-configured flows, supported by TLS encryption and API-key authentication. A 1-3 month implementation cycle is typical per operation.

Flowls monetizes via a hybrid two-phase model: a one-time setup and environment configuration fee plus recurring monthly fees scaled to process volume and the number of external integrations. Pricing is custom and not publicly disclosed; sales run as enterprise field sales with a structured four-step onboarding. The customer base comprises more than 30 enterprise logos spanning retail (Nike), industrial/manufacturing (Siemens), pulp and paper (Suzano), chemicals and textiles (Indorama, Brenntag), electronics (Grupo Multilaser), cosmetics (Hinode), logistics (Wilson Sons, BBM Logística, SBB), food and beverage (Cantu, Natural One), and coffee/agricultural (SMC Specialty Coffees, Cooxupe). No funding rounds, revenue figures, or institutional investors are disclosed; headcount is reported at 1-10.
