FlowPilot is building **Creating data model** Deviation, photo, asset, shift, and status. 01 — 04 Interface, logic, data, and AI live in the same project. Testing, access, and operation are built in. 01 ### Fully local The complete application can run on the device. Nothing is sent to an external server. 02 ### One application Interface, logic, data, and AI stay together. 03 ### Open and extensible Build custom components with Rust and WebAssembly. 04 ### For business and engineering Business teams shape the application. Engineers extend it. ## Connect. Store. Understand. Flows is the data platform behind your applications. It connects and stores structured and unstructured data at terabyte scale. In local operation, nothing leaves the device. Examples of sources and interfaces - **SAP** ERP & production - **Microsoft SharePoint** Documents & lists - **Network file share** Files & archives - **Amazon S3** Object storage - **PostgreSQL / SQL Server** Tables & transactions - **REST / GraphQL** APIs - **OPC UA** Machine & sensor data - **Salesforce** CRM 01 ### Connect everything Connect SAP, databases, APIs, streams, file shares, and SharePoint directly. 02 ### Store data locally Store tables, files, and documents securely on your hardware at terabyte scale. 03 ### Create structure Pipelines and data products give data clear structure, meaning, and ownership. 04 ### Keep lineage See where data came from and how it changed, from the source to every decision. Every application works from the same reliable data foundation. ![Manufacturing and technology leaders make a decision together around an operating model.](https://rheosoph.com/images/landing/industry-expertise.webp) ## Built for industry. We understand the work behind the data. That is why Flows fits your systems, roles, and rules.

Operate it safely. Our consultants and engineers build a real application with your team. At the same time, we define roles, quality, approvals, and operations. The result is a model for every application that follows. ![A cross-functional team builds an application together and transfers the knowledge required to operate it safely.](https://rheosoph.com/images/landing/capability-transfer.webp) 1. 01 ### Choose the application Choose an application with clear value and ownership. Output **Application, owner, and clear goal** 2. 02 ### Set data and rules Agree sources, quality, approvals, and boundaries before building. Output **Data access, tests, and approvals** 3. 03 ### Build and go live Connect systems, test with real users, and deploy safely. Output **Tested application in production** 4. 04 ### Take over and grow Train the team, transfer ownership, and build the next applications on the same foundation. Output **Responsible team and next applications** Ninety days is one possible starting point. Timing depends on the process, data access, and risk. Your team takes ownership of the application, its operation, and its decisions. We stay with you as the platform and delivery partner.
