The problem

Where the time to grow goes

Every answer exists inside the company. It just isn't written down anywhere.

How often, in the last month, did you lack the information you needed to make a decision?

Small companies
11%
Large companies
69%

use business intelligence tools. Eurostat, ICT usage in enterprises, 2025 · 10–49 vs 250+ employees

How often did a problem get sorted out before the information reached the person who needed to know?

Nobody measures it.A delay made up by hand, an exception agreed over the phone: the information gets lost along the way.

When someone leaves, how much of the company leaves with them?

97%

of manufacturers say they are worried about losing skills when people leave. The Manufacturing Institute and Alfred P. Sloan Foundation · United States

Growing isn't doing more. It's building the way the company makes decisions, without needing you every time.

Map your company once. Then FlowLink stays with you.

When there's a decision to make, it brings you the information you need, with its source.

How it works

One week of interviews. Then you decide where to start.

1 Half a morning

Half a morning together

With you and your management team we look at goals, people and the best area to start with. We put in writing what will be collected and what won't.

2 About an hour per person

We talk to your people

A conversational assistant interviews each person in their own words. Unwritten rules come out of concrete examples, not questionnaires.

3 Within 30 days

The map, and the first choice

You receive the map of how your company works. We review it together and you choose the first improvement to pursue.

When a stainless steel part comes in, how do you choose the parameters?
I go by experience: it depends on the batch and on how the machine “sings”.

What you get

What you end up with

The map of how your company works. It stays yours, even if you don't continue.

01How work really gets done. Processes step by step, who does what and with which tools.
02Who keeps what running. Which know-how is written down and which is only practised.
03Where the versions don't match. Procedure versus practice, workarounds, unwritten rules.
04What we know and what we don't. Every piece of information with its source; gaps stay visible.
05Where to start. A first view of where to act, and why.
People, documents, departments and customers connected in a single map

Why it isn't just another piece of software

Four ways of knowing your company

The ERP records. The consultant advises. A generic assistant doesn't know you. FlowLink learns and stays.

Who it's for

For those who run the company, and those who work in it

Designed for manufacturing companies with 20 to 250 employees in Ticino and Lombardy.

Decision-makers

Owner or management

Knowing how the company works so you can delegate, take on more work and stop depending on a few people.

The contact person

Often in administration

Fewer repeated questions, fewer mistakes at handovers.

The people mapped

The people doing the work

Knowing who to ask and how things are done. Access is included, with no extra licences.

Data and trust

“Is this a way of checking up on our work?”

No. And we put it in writing before we start.

01

The scope, before the first interview

What is collected, what isn't, and for what purpose: agreed and signed before we start, not afterwards.

02

We describe the work, not the people doing it

No performance appraisal, no comparison between people. Dependency is recorded on the know-how, not on the person.

03

The map is yours

It stays with you even without a subscription. We only reuse knowledge about processes, anonymised and aggregated, and only with your written consent.

[After legal review] Data processed in line with the Swiss FADP and the GDPR.

Getting started

The first map is free. By invitation.

Frequently asked questions

Before we start

Can't find yours? Write to us and we'll answer.

How much time does it take?+

About an hour for each person interviewed and a few hours for the contact person to check the map. The interviews take place within one week.

Do we need to install anything or connect our ERP?+

No. We start from your people and the documents you already have. Connecting to your systems is considered later, and only if a specific decision needs it.

Is it a way of monitoring employees?+

No. We describe the work, not the people doing it, and we agree the scope in writing before the first interview.

Why is the map free?+

Because we earn when you decide to keep it alive with a subscription. And, with your consent, we learn anonymously how companies like yours work: that is what makes FlowLink more useful for everyone.

How is it different from ChatGPT or Copilot?+

They are good general assistants, but they don't know your company until someone describes it in an orderly way. That is what the map does.

What if we don't continue after the map?+

The map stays yours. We only ask you to let us know your decision within 30 days.

Where do we start?+

Usually with a step that repeats every week, for example from order to delivery and invoice. We choose it together during the morning session.

Are you already working with other companies?+

We are opening the pilot programme with the first companies in Ticino and Lombardy. Those who join now help shape the product.

Let's look at your case.

There's nothing to decide today. Half a morning together: which areas, how many people, and which question you would like to stop asking yourself.

We will get back to you within two working days to set a date. By sending this form you accept the privacy notice.
