Overview

Flowie’s AI agents read documents, choose where they should be routed, and take actions in connected systems. The platform combines that automation with approval workflows, supplier onboarding, policy controls, request catalogs, and form-based intake. That makes it a broader orchestration option than basic document processing, provided the chosen plan includes the capabilities a team needs.

The platform lists 16 products and eight pre-trained agents. Its catalog includes 112 pre-built connectors across 10 categories and support for more than 30 ERPs, including SAP, Sage, Odoo, Dynamics, NetSuite, Cegid, Workday, and Pennylane. Support for REST API, GraphQL, SOAP/XML, webhooks, EDI, SFTP, AS2, cXML, OCI, and Peppol BIS 3.0 gives it several routes to work with existing systems. Flowie says custom integrations take 2–4 weeks, which may help when a standard connector does not fit.

Key features

Document automation and workflows

Document reading, routing decisions, and downstream actions are central to Flowie’s proposition. Approval workflows and policy controls make it relevant to organizations coordinating procurement and finance processes, while supplier onboarding and request catalogs address common procurement needs. The important qualification is that the Free plan only provides basic processing, not workflows; teams seeking orchestration need a paid plan.

Security and data handling

Flowie holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification and reports a Cybervadis score of 878/1000, assessed October 4, 2024. It says data is stored primarily in Paris, with disaster recovery in Belgium, and customer data residency in the EU. Data at rest uses AES-256 encryption; data in transit uses TLS 1.2 minimum, with TLS 1.3 preferred. Flowie does not currently hold SOC 2 Type II and describes its programme as scoped for completion in Q3 2026. Organizations that require a current SOC 2 Type II report should look elsewhere.

Pricing

Free

Free costs 0.00 EUR per free, billed forever. It covers all document types and one entity, with a limit of 24 documents per month or 300 per year. Self-serve onboarding keeps the entry point simple, but basic processing without workflows makes this a fit for low-volume evaluation or straightforward document handling, not teams that need approvals and orchestration.

Growth

Growth costs 12.00 EUR per month, billed monthly, with an annual billing option shown at 17% savings. It covers all document types and lets buyers choose basic processing, workflows, or AI agents. Customers pay for documents sent or received, and a bundle discount of up to 10% applies with three or more document types. Guided onboarding takes 2–4 weeks. Growth unlocks the core workflow options, but document-based charges mean teams should account for volume when comparing costs.

Enterprise

Enterprise has custom pricing and unlimited document volume. Its custom implementation includes dedicated resources, making it the more suitable tier for organizations with large volumes or implementation needs that exceed guided onboarding. The price is not a fixed published amount.

Platforms

Flowie is available on the web and as a self-hosted option, and it supports API access. This combination can suit organizations that need integration flexibility or control over deployment.

Who it's for

Flowie is strongest for finance and procurement teams that want documents to initiate approvals and actions across connected systems, especially where ERP and data-exchange coverage matters. Its 30-plus ERP support and varied protocols may reduce integration friction for complex environments. Small teams with modest document needs can start free, but they should not expect workflow automation at that tier. Organizations that require SOC 2 Type II should consider another platform.

Pros and cons

Broad integration coverage: 112 pre-built connectors, support for more than 30 ERPs, and multiple exchange protocols offer several ways to connect systems.
Automation beyond document capture: AI agents, approvals, supplier onboarding, and policy controls address coordinated procurement and finance work.
Clear entry-level cap: Free is limited to 24 documents monthly, 300 annually, and one entity, and excludes workflows.
SOC 2 gap: Flowie does not currently hold SOC 2 Type II, which can rule it out for organizations with that requirement.

Alternatives

Consider ControlHub if purchasing requests are the priority: its Approvals plan costs 249.00 USD per month and includes unlimited purchasing requests, unlimited requester users, and five advanced users, with additional advanced users priced at $12 each. Vendorfi is a more focused alternative for vendor lifecycle management, with a free plan for three active vendors and two seats; its Core plan costs 299.99 USD.

Genie Bazaar is an alternative for asset management, with a Starter plan covering up to 1,000 assets, up to 10 users, QR-code tagging, mobile app, and API access; pricing requires contacting the vendor. Raindrop Systems is another paid option available on web and through an API. VendrNova is a paid web-based alternative, while Opstream uses personalized pricing after company information is submitted.

Precoro may suit buyers seeking procurement basics, vendor and spend management, integrations, reporting, analytics, and a mobile app; its Core plan costs 499.00 USD per month billed annually. Procol Strategic Sourcing is a paid option for buyers who want to choose modules and add-ons through a custom quote.

Verdict

Flowie is a strong fit for finance and procurement teams that need document-led workflows across a varied set of systems: its connector and protocol breadth is the clearest reason to choose it. The free plan is useful only for basic, low-volume processing, and the lack of current SOC 2 Type II makes it a poor fit where that certification is mandatory. Teams needing full orchestration should evaluate Growth, while high-volume organizations should seek an Enterprise quote.
