About the company

Flow by Ironflow AI is an AI-native ERP built for defense technology, aerospace, energy, and other regulated manufacturing. It functions as a live decision system that merges structured production data, AI reasoning, and workflow automation to analyze in real time and automatically carry out actions, with AI agents interpreting user intent to achieve a requested outcome. Unlike traditional ERPs, Flow is designed for high-regulation industries with features like multi-level bills of materials, engineering change control, and secure ITAR/FedRAMP-compliant data hosting in the United States. The goal is to provide proactive insights and rapid iteration across production and supply chain, while progressively adding modules for finance, project accounting, and compliance to form an end-to-end, modular enterprise platform.
