FlowCorp · Consulting, systems and delivery
Making the business work better.
FlowCorp helps SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland simplify their operations, connect their systems and build the tools they are missing.
From diagnosis to go-live.
A business owner's perspective. A consultant's method. An engineer's ability to deliver.
When a business grows, its systems don't always keep up.
Tools multiply, exceptions become habits and information flows poorly. FlowCorp starts from how the business really works to decide what to simplify, connect, automate or build.
Fragmented tools and data
Desired outcome
Reliable information and less manual work.
What we do
Simplify the flows and integrate the systems that matter.
Processes overtaken by growth
Desired outcome
More capacity without piling on resources.
What we do
Rethink how things work, then automate what should be automated.
A difficult technology decision
Desired outcome
A choice you can defend on value, cost and risk.
What we do
Diagnose, compare and weigh up the possible paths.
A business need poorly served
Desired outcome
A system that fits, without rebuilding the generic.
What we do
Build in a targeted way around what already exists.
What sets us apart
Technology comes after the decision.
The starting point is always what already exists. The aim is neither to replace everything nor to build everything, but to choose the most rational intervention and see it through to real use.
Choosing the path
Adopt
An off-the-shelf solution meets the need properly. FlowCorp selects it, configures it and puts it into service.
Integrate
The tools in place remain relevant. FlowCorp builds the interfaces and flows that make them work together.
Build
The market serves the need poorly, or the need carries a real advantage. Bespoke development becomes the rational choice.
Running the engagement
Understand
Observe the business as it really works.
Decide
Compare value, total cost, risk and reversibility.
Deliver
Put into service, support adoption and document.
Measure
Check the gains achieved and adjust whatever needs it.
Using the right levers
AI with judgement, not by reflex.
It is used when it genuinely changes the equation: capacity, quality, lead time or cost.
FlowForge standardises the foundations and customises the advantage.
This modular base makes it possible to build specific systems faster without redeveloping generic functions.
Work
Systems genuinely in service.
Products and systems built to solve a specific problem, keep working over time and evolve with the business.

About
FlowCorp is my practice.
A business owner's perspective. A consultant's method. An engineer's ability to deliver.
Alexandre Coelho
A software engineer who has run an SME for thirteen years, I work directly from diagnosis to go-live and bring in specialists when the subject calls for it.
Rigour
Consulting in private banking taught me to treat security, traceability and continuity as conditions for operating at all.
Run
As CTO of a technology start-up, I learned to deliver with few resources without sacrificing what matters.
Hands-on
As a business owner, I know growth, systems that reach their limits, cash-flow trade-offs and the responsibility of deciding.
Something stuck?
No need for a specification. Just tell me what is getting stuck: a business that can no longer keep up, a difficult decision, an opportunity involving AI, a process that costs too much or a system that has reached its limits. I will reply personally.
