From the first conversation to a
working AI colleague.
A live digital colleague in 6 to 8 weeks

ComplianceExplore
~2 weeksWe identify where manual work hurts most and assess which data is available and reliable enough. You see exactly what the first digital colleague will look like before anything is built.
Set up
~2 weeksWe lay the technical foundation: secure connections to your existing systems, validated data quality and a compliance baseline tailored to your organisation. Everything is ready before the first colleague starts work.
Activate
~2 weeksThe first digital colleague starts work with your team in control. We monitor every process closely and adjust where needed. Trust is built by seeing that it works.
Support
~2 weeksWe work closely alongside you in the first weeks after go-live. We smooth out rough edges, train your team and make sure the colleague runs reliably. Only when everything is right do we step back.
Scale
OngoingThe colleague learns from every interaction and becomes more accurate. We use the time freed up to build the next colleague. Your digital back office grows with your business, step by step.

Automation that works in production,
not just in the demo.
Four principles for a controlled rollout and sustainable scale-up.
Your data, your property
Choose between Flowstead Cloud and Flowstead Dedicated. In both options your data remains yours, with storage and processing in the EU.
People stay in control
You decide how much to automate. We always build clear escalation rules, so your team steps in when it matters. More autonomy follows as trust grows.
No black box
Every step your colleague takes is logged and traceable. You and your IT manager always have full visibility into what happens and why.
Scalable by design
We start with the process where the pain is greatest. Each subsequent process builds on the same foundation, without restarting or launching another IT project.

Everything you want to know about Flowstead
A chatbot answers questions. RPA follows fixed rules and stops when something differs from the script. A Flowstead digital colleague understands context, reads unstructured input such as emails and PDFs, and completes processes across multiple systems. When it encounters an exception, it involves your team. That is the difference between rigid automation and automation that can handle context.
No. Flowstead works as an intelligent layer over the systems you already have. Your digital colleague works in your existing environment. No new software to learn, no major IT projects.
We work with the systems most commonly used in manufacturing, including AFAS, Exact Online, SAP, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Salesforce. If your system is not listed, we build the connection. We integrate with the technology you already use.
Most digital colleagues go live within six to eight weeks. We begin with a two-week exploration, establish the technical foundation and activate the first colleague step by step. It is a phased implementation, not a major IT programme, with visible results early on.
The investment consists of an implementation fee and an ongoing service fee. Exact costs depend on the process, complexity and systems we connect. Most customers earn back the investment within three to five months. We always calculate the business case upfront so you can make an informed choice.
Flowstead is built for manufacturers, logistics providers and industrial producers in the Netherlands with 20 to 500 employees. The common thread: a well-run operation with a back office struggling to keep up.
Both are possible. We always start with human control at every step. As trust grows, you decide how much autonomy the colleague gets. Processes with clear rules and low risk can run independently. Clear escalation rules are always built in for exceptions.
With enough volume, most digital colleagues pay for themselves within three to five months. The biggest saving is not only the processing cost per document, but the time your team gets back for work that truly matters. We always calculate the business case upfront.
