FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Straight answers to what comes up most when a team is deciding whether FlowSense fits their operation.

What FlowSense is04
Is FlowSense a TMS, WMS, ERP, or claims platform?

No. FlowSense is a proof layer. It assembles the records, events, and evidence your existing systems already produce into a delivery proof packet at the handoff. It does not route shipments, manage inventory, run accounting, or submit claims.

What does "proof layer" actually mean?

It means FlowSense sits beside your systems and assembles the evidence that a handoff happened, who handled it, when, in what condition, and against which orders, into one packet the moment the event closes. That packet becomes the shared starting point for AR, AP, procurement, operations, and customer service.

Is this for delivery disputes, deductions, and exceptions?

Yes. It is built for outbound, vendor side delivery proof, protecting AR, finance, operations, and customer service against deductions, shorts, fees, autocredits, and disputes.

What does a delivery proof packet actually contain?

Whatever the stop produced and the downstream process needs. Typically stop photos, signatures, carrier confirmations, dock timestamps, system logs, BOL copies, and EDI records, assembled into one record and adapted to the evidence your environment generates.

What it is not02
Are you claiming every deduction or exception is invalid?

No. The point is not that exceptions are wrong. It is that deciding whether one is valid should not require a manual reconstruction project weeks after the fact.

Is this a managed service or a consulting engagement?

No. FlowSense is a software platform. The value is structural: it assembles the proof record so your team works from a packet instead of rebuilding the event by hand.

Systems fit02
Do I need to replace my TMS, WMS, or ERP?

No. FlowSense connects to the systems you already run. There is no rip and replace, and nothing new for the floor to operate.

Who usually owns this problem internally?

Conversations usually start in AR or finance, and operations and customer service join quickly, because the proof spans all of them.

Proof reality01
What if our barcode scans, dock records, or WMS events are incomplete?

That is common, and it is not disqualifying. Fragmented, inconsistent, or incomplete proof is exactly what FlowSense is built to work with. A short discovery maps where your proof breaks before anything is deployed.

Deployment01
What is the first step?

A discovery conversation. We map the people, systems, files, and touchpoints in your handoff to find where proof breaks and where the reconstruction burden lands today.

Still have a question?

Bring your operation to a short discovery call and we will walk it through against your real handoff.
