Pitch Autobahn

What if AI and some well thought approach could divide your inventories by 2? While at the same time increase your service level. A solution that could help you build a more robust Supply Chain while at the same time help the planet: less unnecessary transportations, less wastes, ... Is it possible ?

First I will present myself. I am Jean-Baptiste, CEO and cofounder of Flowlity. I have spent 7 years working for several software vendors. I have seen that truly no one is really solving inventory issues despite the money spent by their customers. Every year, it is more than 2 T$ lost because of bad inventory planning. Almost the GDP of France.

Let's speak about automotive. How many times per year are you using a plane to ship urgently small components not to stop the production line ? How many parts are becoming obsolete, scrapped and wasted?

Now, I have an excellent news. From the Supply Chain theory, there is a secret recipe we can apply to solve all those issues: it's full data transparency in between a supplier and its customer. From studies, we know it reduces total costs and wastes by at least 30%. However, in practice it does not work. I know from experience that it is very difficult to put in place directly because it implies complete trust to the company you are buying from or selling to. Would you share your production plans or order book with your suppliers?

Flowlity is making the impossible a reality. We are the trusted 3rd party. We collect data in real-time from both sides and with our AI algorithms, we analyze it and give recommendations about how much stocks should be kept by both parties at all times.

For example, we implemented our solution at Saint-Gobain Sekurit, an automotive supplier in France. By being the trusted 3rd party in between them and 2 of their suppliers : we reduced inventories by 40%, saving millions of euros. But more importantly, last year, they used planes to ship parts from the US to France urgently. With our solution, no plane is needed; which means 140 tons of fuel saved. And we are starting to expand in the automotive sector, we are now working with Bosch, MIBA, Plansee, ...

We have been named in the 50 best European startups by Google and Mc Kinsey because of our uniqueness and the value we bring. Today, we are growing, and looking for more customers. If you want to reduce waste, unnecessary transportation and stocks while at the same time have a real impact on your bottom line, come talk to us. We are Flowlity. Thank you.
