Does Flowlity replace ERP systems?

Flowlity recognized as Gartner Cool Vendor 2025 in supply chain planning
Answer:

This is one of the first questions IT and finance leaders ask when evaluating Flowlity, and the answer shapes the entire implementation approach. Replacing an ERP is a multi-year transformation. Flowlity's value is delivered on a very different timeline, precisely because it sits on top rather than underneath.

No. Flowlity complements ERP systems by adding a decision layer on top of existing processes. While the ERP manages execution, Flowlity provides advanced planning capabilities that improve the quality of replenishment decisions.

The two layers exchange data automatically through pre-built connectors, so planners get better decisions without any disruption to existing ERP workflows or the teams who depend on them. The ERP continues to capture what has happened and what needs to be executed, while Flowlity decides what should happen next: which products to replenish, in what quantities, and when.
