About Flowy

We've stood on the warehouse floor. That's why the software works.

Flowy is a Melbourne-based, operator-led platform company. We build order-management software for mid-sized food suppliers — and we've been running it in a real 25-store business since 2014.

Origin

From a sushi chain's order desk, to a platform for the industry.

Flowy started inside Jack Lin's sushi business in 2014. As the chain grew from 1 to 25 stores, off-the-shelf ordering systems kept breaking against the realities of fresh food supply — pantry lists, per-store pricing, mid-morning cut-offs, WhatsApp orders at 3am.

So we built our own. A decade later, every feature has been tested against real volume. In 2022 we began offering it to other Australian food suppliers facing the same pain.

The team

Four co-founders. Diverse experience, one order desk.

The team brings operator, strategy, engineering, and retail marketing experience — each partner has run or built the thing Flowy now automates.

Our value propositions

How we work with you.

01

Operator-led

Every feature was asked for by someone on a warehouse floor. We ship what suppliers actually need, not what sounds good in a pitch.

02

Tailored, not templated

We're more flexible than a generic platform. If your business needs pantry lists, mid-morning cut-offs, or grouped merchant fulfilment — we can shape around it.

03

Honest about fit

We offer a low-cost pilot. If Flowy isn't right for you, we'll tell you in the first call. No upsell, no feature-creep you didn't ask for.

04

Rooted in the region

We understand the Australian Asian-food supply chain — the vendors, the customers, the cadence. That context is the product.

Thinking about replacing your order desk?

Drop us a line. We reply in two business days — or we tell you, honestly, that we're not the right fit.
