Workflow automation FAQ
What is workflow automation in South Africa?+
Workflow automation replaces repetitive manual admin — capturing data, routing approvals, generating documents, reconciling accounts — with software that runs the process end-to-end. Flow Studio builds these systems for South African law firms, accountants, inventory businesses and SMEs.
Do you build custom business systems for South African companies?+
Yes. Alongside our packaged workflows (InventFlow, AccountingFlow, BillFlow, LawFlow, DraftFlow) we design and develop bespoke business systems tailored to your operation, integrated with the SA tools you already use (Xero, Sage, Yoco, PayFast, Stripe, Microsoft 365).
How long does a typical workflow automation project take?+
Packaged products go live in 2–4 weeks. Custom business systems typically ship in 6–12 weeks depending on integrations, document automation and the number of user roles.
Is Flow Studio POPIA compliant?+
Every system we build is designed around POPIA principles — data minimisation, role-based access, encryption at rest and in transit, audit trails, and SA-hosted data options on request.
