2003
Humble Beginnings
Flow was created as an integration toolkit to enable fast, easy integration implementation. At the time, the solutions available on the market were costly, rigid and incapable of providing scalability or adapt to the evolving needs of a business. Flow successfully filled a gap in the SME market by providing a cost-effective solution that both facilitated the seamless integration of internal applications while allowing businesses to exchange data with their trading partners.
2008
Expansion into Australia
Flow grew to 180 customers in New Zealand. Further investment was secured to enable expansion into Australia. A new entity, Flow Software, was created as a distributor of Flow in Australia which then morphed over time first into Fusion Factor and then Comestri.
2012
Building a strong base
Flow grew to over 300 customers in New Zealand and Australia via the direct channel, partner channel and distributor. A number of spin off and add on products were developed and taken to market.

New Directions and Focus
Flow implemented an experienced Advisory Board to help with guiding the business and investing in in increased Sales, Marketing and Project Management capability to speed up growth.
2017
Product Refresh
Flow grew to 400 customers and completed a positioning programme that saw unprofitable spin off products shelved. The business refocused on its core product and capability, and positioned for further growth.
A new development team was put together to continue development of the Flow product, and as an investment in building a new, future focussed integration platform that would eventually become Statelake.
