What Flowwa does

Flowwa is a French SaaS company headquartered in Toulouse that develops and sells document dematerialization and ERP integration platforms to small and mid-sized businesses, intermediate-sized companies, and the ERP integrator channel in France. Formed from the merger of Éditions Compagnons and IDooWA in January 2025, the company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Absys Cyborg group and runs an exclusively indirect go-to-market through 150+ distributor-integrators and 14 software publisher alliances.

The product portfolio is organized around three pillars: (1) the iO platform — an API and connector framework including the iO Marketplace (25+ pre-built connectors), the API Multi-ERP, and the iO Developer Toolkit; (2) the TEDD suite of dematerialization applications, headlined by TEDD & Esker — an electronic invoicing solution built on Esker's government-certified Plateforme Agréée (PA) and qualified as a PDP (Portail de Dématérialisation Partenaire) for French RFE compliance — alongside TEDD Bulletins (digital pay slips via Digiposte), TEDD Signatures, TEDD Impressions, and purchase request processing; and (3) a set of Sage 100 utility add-ons (OSS, LR, PM, EtiqPro). Source Flex API extends TEDD & Esker connectivity to non-standard data sources, and the recently launched TEDD Configuration Assistant compresses deployment timelines from approximately 20 days to under 5 days.

Flowwa generates revenue through recurring SaaS subscriptions on iO and TEDD, usage-based pricing on data fluxes processed (50M+ monthly), and separately billed professional services, all distributed via a three-tier partner program (Essentiel, Business, Elite) with volume-driven discount remises. The company does not disclose revenue, has no external venture funding, and operates as a private SASU under French law. AI/ML capabilities (OCR, deep-learning-based invoice extraction) are provided through Esker's underlying engines rather than developed in-house.

Revenue model

1. SaaS Subscriptions (Recurring): Flowwa generates recurring subscription revenue from its SaaS platforms (iO, TEDD). Partners purchase subscriptions and consumption-based fluxes, with remises (discounts) tied directly to purchase volume. Three partnership tiers (Essentiel, Business, Elite) determine discount rates. Revenue is recurring as long as customers maintain active subscriptions and flux usage.
2. Flux/Transaction-based Usage: Partners and end customers pay based on transaction volumes processed through Flowwa platforms. Remises apply to all recurring purchases including flux consumption with no duration limits, making this a usage-based revenue component alongside subscriptions.
3. Professional Services: Training and potentially implementation/consulting services are billed separately from subscription and flux revenue. The partner program excludes training and formation from discount calculations.

Core offering

Flowwa develops and sells SaaS applications for document dematerialization (TEDD & Esker electronic invoicing, TEDD Bulletins pay slips, TEDD Signatures, TEDD Impressions) and ERP connector platforms (iO API Multi-ERP, iO Marketplace, Source Flex API). Products are sold exclusively through a three-tier indirect channel of ERP integrators, software publishers, and business consultants in France, with solutions targeted at SMEs and ETIs requiring French RFE compliance.

Product overview

Flowwa is a French SaaS company formed in 2025 from the merger of Éditions Compagnons and IDooWA, specializing in document dematerialization and connector platforms. The product portfolio is organized around three main pillars: (1) the TEDD suite of dematerialization applications — including TEDD & Esker (e-invoicing platform for customer and supplier electronic invoices via the Esker PA/PDP), TEDD Bulletins (digital pay slips via Digiposte), TEDD Signatures (electronic signatures), and TEDD Impressions (automated print processing); (2) the iO integration platform — encompassing the API Multi ERP, iO Marketplace of pre-built connectors, the iO Developer Toolkit, and the Source Flex API extension for non-standard sources; and (3) a set of Sage 100 utility add-ons (OSS for change tracking, LR for search, PM for maintenance/recoding, and EtiqPro for labeling). The iO platform serves as the backbone for custom connector development and ERP interoperability, while TEDD addresses the regulatory e-invoicing reform (RFE), HR digitization, and business process automation.

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• Workato: Workato is an enterprise integration and automation platform (iPaaS) that competes with Flowwa's iO connector platform for multi-ERP integration use cases at larger customers, though it lacks Flowwa's domain-specific dematerialization depth.
• Pennylane: Pennylane is a French cloud accounting platform that is both a Flowwa integration partner and an emerging competitor bundling financial automation features. Comparable target market (French SMEs/ETIs) and overlap on invoice and document automation.
• Make (Integromat): Make is a no-code/low-code workflow automation platform that competes with Flowwa's iO for SaaS-to-ERP integration scenarios, particularly with SMB customers seeking self-service connectors without integrator involvement.

Direct peers

• Yooz: Yooz is a French cloud-based AP automation and e-invoicing vendor targeting mid-market and SME customers with AI-powered invoice processing. Directly comparable to TEDD Factures Fournisseurs in the French RFE compliance market.
• Generix Group: Generix Group provides EDI, e-invoicing, and supply chain collaboration solutions in France and internationally, with similar PDP/PA positioning for the RFE mandate. Overlaps directly with Flowwa's electronic invoicing and EDI/connector capabilities.
• Esker: Esker is Flowwa's core technology partner for the PDP/PA infrastructure and AI/OCR engines, but also sells its own direct e-invoicing and order-to-cash automation solutions that compete with TEDD & Esker at the end-customer level. Highly comparable in product category and target market for French electronic invoicing.

Broad incumbents

• Cegid: Cegid is a leading French cloud ERP and payroll/HR software vendor serving SMBs and mid-market. Comparable customer base (French PME/ETI) and increasingly relevant as a competitor/partner in the same RFE compliance ecosystem.
• Sage: Sage is a major ERP vendor (Sage 100, FRP1000, X3) and Flowwa's closest integration partner; it also ships its own dematerialization/e-invoicing capabilities and has the resources to compete directly with TEDD in the French mid-market.
• DocaPost / Docaposte: Docaposte (La Poste Group subsidiary, parent of Digiposte) is a major French digital trust services provider offering electronic signature, electronic invoicing, archiving and dematerialization solutions comparable to Flowwa's TEDD suite and competing for RFE mandate deployments.

Regional players

• Sellsy: Sellsy is a French CRM/ERP/business management platform for SMBs that bundles invoicing, document management, and automation features comparable to TEDD. Comparable target market (French PME) and overlapping e-invoicing roadmap.
