Who builds it
We run manufacturing in the United States, and we wrote this for our own floors first.
Built by people who make parts in America every day. We know what a mode change costs on a Tuesday afternoon, why second shift runs short, and how a quote is lost by eleven cents a piece.
- Our floors
We make parts every day
Flow runs in our own plants before it is sold to anyone. Every feature was demanded by a real job, changeover or quote.
- Our record
Trusted where it matters
GI products are in service with the major aerospace manufacturers and the United States government.
- Our position
Made here, all of it
Every product GI sells is manufactured in the United States. We do not outsource.
“This software exists because America competes on efficiency or it does not compete.”
We cannot win on wages and should not try. We win by wasting fewer hours, quoting from numbers that are right, and getting more from the machines already on the floor.
GI's roots are in software. We write software that goes into aircraft, and we manufacture products here in America. Working on both sides, we see the same problems from different segments of industry. Flow is the product of that experience.
Every product GI sells is made here, parts included. It has never been the cheap option. It is the only way to keep the quality our customers depend on.
Why Flow exists
Every feature started as
a loss on our own floor
We did not set out to build software. We built Flow because we were tired of the hours, material and money our own shop kept losing to problems nobody had solved properly. Each module answers one of those losses, and the same losses hit every shop in this industry. Nothing in Flow is there to fill a feature list. If it does not save time, material or money on a real floor, it is not in the product.
