How does Flowlity facilitate collaboration between suppliers and customers in the supply chain?

Flowlity was designed as a collaborative platform connecting the various links in the supply chain, particularly between a client (manufacturer, distributor) and its suppliers.

In concrete terms, the solution can act as a trusted third party where suppliers and customers share information transparently.

For example, suppliers can access (via a portal or dedicated interface) consumption forecasts or supply needs that concern them, and thus better anticipate upcoming orders. Similarly, Flowlity allows suppliers to track performance (on-time performance, reliability) and trigger alerts in the event of potential delays.

This shared visibility helps quickly adjust plans: if a supplier reports a capacity constraint or a longer lead time, Flowlity readjusts recommendations to avoid a disruption downstream.

In addition, the platform offers the possibility of collaborating on supply plans: online validation of order proposals, exchange of comments, jointly approved modifications, etc. This eliminates the need for multiple email and Excel file exchanges and makes supplier-customer relationships more reliable. For both B2B distribution companies and manufacturers, this improved collaboration means fewer unforeseen events and a more agile supply chain.

Because Flowlity is a cloud-based solution, your partners can easily connect—under the control of your administrators—to share this data.
