What ENCODIAN SOLUTIONS LTD does

Encodian Solutions Ltd is a London-based software company, founded in 2016, that builds document and workflow automation tools purpose-built for the Microsoft 365 and Power Automate ecosystem. The company's flagship product, Flowr, delivers 230+ Power Automate actions organized across nine specialized connectors (Barcode, Convert, Excel, General, Images, PDF, PowerPoint, Word, and Utilities), enabling organizations to generate, convert, transform, and process documents inside automated Power Platform workflows. The product surface extends to Encodian Templater (a free Microsoft Word add-in for visually building Word Populate templates), Encodian Sign (an upcoming e-signature product natively integrated with Power Automate, compliant with ESIGN Act and eIDAS), and Dedicated Plans that deploy Flowr directly inside a customer's Azure tenant for full data residency control.

The company operates a multi-tier SaaS pricing model based on monthly credits (from a free 50-credit tier up to a $549/month Enterprise plan at 12,000 credits), layered with high-ACV annual Dedicated ($10,999) and Dedicated+ ($39,900) plans for regulated enterprise buyers. Go-to-market combines product-led growth (30-day free trial, self-service signup), partner-led distribution (60+ Microsoft partners and MVPs, 20+ approved resellers including Insight, SHI, SoftwareOne, and Softcat), and Azure Marketplace listing with IP Co-Sell eligibility that aligns purchases to customers' Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitments. Encodian reports 3,000+ paying customers across 80+ countries, with named adoption across insurance, healthcare, manufacturing, education, government, and risk management verticals.

In July 2026, Encodian was acquired by Circeus, an AI-native software operator, which positioned the company as a platform that AI agents can act through inside the Microsoft environment. At the time of acquisition the company operated with 11-50 employees and held ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certifications alongside Accredited Microsoft ISV and Microsoft IP Co-Sell Ready designations.

Broad incumbents

• DocuWare: Cloud document management and workflow automation platform serving mid-market and enterprise customers. Comparable to Encodian in document-centric workflow automation, particularly for regulated industries needing secure document handling.
• airSlate (signNow): Document workflow automation and e-signature platform including signNow. Competes with Encodian on automated document workflows and e-signature, and is one of the incumbents Encodian Sign explicitly targets on cost.
• DocuSign: Market-leading e-signature platform. Encodian Sign is positioned directly against DocuSign on price (claimed up to 80% savings) and against the dominant incumbent for enterprise electronic signature workflows.
• Microsoft Power Automate: The Microsoft workflow automation platform on which Encodian Flowr runs. Acts as both substrate and competitive threat: native Power Automate document actions and AI Builder could erode Flowr's differentiated action catalog over time.
• Adobe (Acrobat & Adobe Sign): Broader document and e-signature incumbent via Acrobat, Adobe Sign, and Adobe Document Services. Competes with Encodian across PDF manipulation, e-signature, and document automation, particularly in regulated enterprises.

Direct peers

• Nintex: Provides process and document automation software with deep integrations into Microsoft 365 and Power Platform, including e-signature capabilities. Directly competes with Encodian's Flowr in the same Power Platform-native workflow/document automation category.
• WEBCON: Business process management and document workflow platform with strong Microsoft 365 / SharePoint integration. Comparable to Encodian's Flowr on enterprise workflow automation, document processing, and SharePoint-centric deployments.
• ProcessMaker: Low-code business process management and workflow automation platform with document generation capabilities. Overlaps with Encodian's BPM/workflow and document automation footprint, particularly for Microsoft-centric customers.
• Templafy: Document generation and template automation platform purpose-built for the Microsoft 365 and Power Platform ecosystem, serving regulated enterprises. Comparable to Encodian's Flowr on Microsoft-native document automation and template population use cases.
• Apryse (PDFTron): Document processing SDK and automation platform covering PDF generation, conversion, and manipulation — overlapping with many of Flowr's 230+ actions on conversion, OCR, and document transformation within enterprise workflows.
