The use case

Total spend visibility. Per category. Per supplier. Per BU.

Off-contract spend leaking. Maverick buying without policy enforcement. CFO can't answer "what did we spend on category X this quarter". Negotiations have no historical leverage.

Flowie classifies every transaction with AI (cost center, category, supplier, project), surfaces savings opportunities (off-catalog, off-contract, supplier consolidation), enforces approval policy at intake, tracks budget burn live across BUs.

For who

CFO
Spend reports always 6 weeks late. Budget overruns surprise me.
CPO
Maverick spend 40% of total. No way to enforce policy.
Category Manager
Negotiating renewal with no historical spend data.
Controller
GL coding inconsistent across entities. Reports useless.

Customer voice

What teams running on Spend Management say.

Flowie found 3.2% in savings we didn't know existed. Duplicate subscriptions alone were costing us six figures annually — same SaaS bought 4 times across 4 entities, none of the buyers aware of the others. The first audit paid for the platform in week one.

3.2% in-year savings
Budget vs. actuals used to be a monthly Excel exercise that arrived 3 weeks too late to act on. Real-time tracking flagged a department that was 22% over-budget on day 12 of the quarter. We rebalanced before it hit P&L.

Live overrun detection
Auto-classification is the difference between a spend cube that's ignored and one that drives decisions. 98% accuracy out of the box. The 2% we correct, the system learns from. After 6 months, our taxonomy is finally usable for category strategy.

Asked & answered

Buyers ask us this.

How does AI categorize spend across different ERPs?

Flowie normalizes data from all connected ERPs into a unified taxonomy. AI learns from your historical classifications and improves over time with corrections.

Can we define custom spend categories?

Yes. Start with UNSPSC or your existing taxonomy, then customize categories, hierarchies, and rules. AI adapts to your classification scheme.

How quickly do we see savings opportunities?

Most companies see their first actionable savings report within 2 weeks of connecting their ERPs. AI identifies low-hanging fruit (duplicates, tail spend) immediately.
