Built by Someone Who Understands Your Business

Hi, I'm Malcolm 👋 founder of flowio. I've spent the last 15 years helping businesses get ahead with performance marketing, technical solutions and commercial strategy. I have had a passion for web technology for as long as I can remember, building my first website back in 1998. Graduating with a First Class honours degree in Web Development in 2009, since then a hugely varied career that has always orbited web technology, programming, data, performance, and technical solutions, more recently artificial intelligence.

"Every business has their own internal struggle with efficiency. Whether that's slow-moving bureacracy, outdated systems, or teams stretched too thin - the result is the same: wasted time, wasted money, and missed opportunities. This is why I started flowio - to help businesses overcome these challenges and unlock their full potential with smart, simple, and effective workflow solutions." — Malcolm Gibb, Founder of flowio

Other Questions

Yes - that's what we're here for! Book in a discovery consultation with our team for a free automation audit to help you identify opportunities to improve your business with automation and AI backed in ROI impact projections. There's a huge range that you can automate within your business - from internal processes to customer facing applications. However, understanding what to automate and what not to automate is key - and that's where we come in. Book a quick no-obligation chat with us, and I'll be more than happy to help you navigate what to automate.
We get this question asked a lot "What if a caller doesn't want to speak to AI?" - and the answer is simple - we don't force it. For AI voice agents, we always declare that the AI assistant is answering on behalf of the business, and implement the ability for the caller to be transferred through to a human immediately. AI assistants work with your team instead of replacing them. Not everybody trusts or wants to speak to AI - even if most don't realise they are speaking to an AI. The vast majority of our clients find that their customers are happy to speak to the AI assistant, and that it actually improves their customer experience.
This depends on your specific business sector. Some industries such as Financial Services, Healthcare, and Legal have strict regulations around data privacy and security. We're UK-GDPR compliant, ICO registered, and follow ISO 27001 and SOC II security practices. All automations are built with security and compliance in mind. We have a vast wealth of experience engineering solutions for highly regulated industries, and we're confident that we can build a solution that's right for your business.
