Overview

Flowie is a finance and procurement orchestration platform built around document-driven work across business systems. It best suits teams that need approvals, supplier onboarding, and ERP-connected processing; its broad integration coverage is compelling, but Free is a narrow starting point rather than a full workflow platform.

Key features

Document processing and orchestration

Flowie’s AI agents read documents, determine routing, and take actions in connected systems. The platform lists 16 products and eight pre-trained agents, alongside approval workflows, policy controls, supplier onboarding, request catalogs, and form-based intake. That combination targets teams coordinating procurement and finance processes, not organizations looking only for basic document capture. Free excludes workflows, so teams seeking routed approvals or automated actions will need a paid configuration.

Integration breadth

There are 112 pre-built connectors across 10 categories, with support for more than 30 ERP systems, including SAP, Sage, Odoo, Dynamics, NetSuite, Cegid, Workday, and Pennylane. The protocol range—REST API, GraphQL, SOAP/XML, webhooks, EDI, SFTP, AS2, cXML, OCI, and Peppol BIS 3.0—gives teams multiple ways to connect existing systems. Flowie says custom integrations ship in 2–4 weeks, which may help when a required connection is not pre-built.

Security and data location

Flowie holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and reports a Cybervadis score of 878/1000, assessed October 4, 2024. It says data at rest is encrypted with AES-256 and data in transit uses TLS 1.2 minimum, with TLS 1.3 preferred. Customer data residency is in the European Union, with Paris as the primary region and Belgium for disaster recovery. Teams that require SOC 2 Type II should look elsewhere for now: Flowie does not currently hold it and describes its programme as scoped for completion in Q3 2026.

Pricing

Flowie is freemium, with a 30-day trial and paid pricing shown from €0.33. The named Growth plan is €12.00 per month, billed monthly; annual billing is shown with 17% savings. Growth includes all document types and lets customers choose basic processing, workflows, or AI agents. It charges for documents sent or received, offers up to 10% bundle discount with three or more document types, and includes guided onboarding over 2–4 weeks. The document-based charge means teams should assess expected volume, not just the monthly plan price.

Free costs 0.00 EUR per free, billed forever. It supports all document types but caps usage at 24 documents per month (300 per year) and one entity, and provides basic processing only, without workflows. Self-serve onboarding makes it suitable for light-volume evaluation, but the cap and missing orchestration features limit its fit for operational teams.

Enterprise has custom pricing and unlimited document volume, with custom implementation and dedicated onboarding resources. It is the relevant option for organizations that need scale and a tailored rollout; teams comparing costs should request a quote.

Platforms

Flowie is available on the web and as a self-hosted option, and exposes an API. The listed platforms give teams deployment and integration choices beyond a browser-only service.

Who it's for

Flowie is a strong fit for finance and procurement teams that need documents to trigger work across existing ERP and business systems, especially when they rely on varied exchange protocols or need custom integrations. It is less suitable for teams that need SOC 2 Type II today, or for small teams expecting the Free plan to include approval workflows.

Pros and cons

Pro: 112 connectors and support for more than 30 ERPs give teams broad options for connecting established systems.
Pro: Multiple protocols, plus custom integrations said to ship in 2–4 weeks, help address varied integration needs.
Pro: EU data residency, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, and stated encryption standards provide concrete security and location commitments.
Con: Free is limited to 24 documents monthly, one entity, and no workflows, so it cannot serve as a full orchestration tier.
Con: Flowie does not currently hold SOC 2 Type II, which rules it out for teams with that requirement.
Con: Growth charges for documents sent or received, making costs sensitive to processing volume.

Alternatives

For a different procurement approach, consider Precoro: its Core plan is 499.00 USD per month billed annually and includes vendor and spend management, integrations, reporting, and a mobile app. Vendorfi is worth comparing when a free vendor-lifecycle tier matters; its Free plan includes three active vendors and two user seats. Teams looking for a free approvals option can compare ControlHub, which has a freemium model and a 249.00 USD-per-month Approvals plan with unlimited purchasing requests and requester users.

Genie Bazaar is a paid alternative with a free trial, mobile apps, and API access. Raindrop Systems is a paid platform available on the web and via API. VendrNova is a paid web platform, while Levelpath is an enterprise platform with no free trial or free version. Zycus Contract Management is another paid web option.

Verdict

Choose Flowie if your finance or procurement team needs document-led workflows across a varied ERP and protocol stack; its connector breadth and orchestration focus are the main reasons to shortlist it. Look elsewhere if SOC 2 Type II is mandatory or if you need meaningful workflow capacity at no cost.
