Flowster

Overview

Flowster is a specialized process management platform that helps businesses eliminate manual errors and 'reinventing the wheel'. It allows teams to create, manage, and execute Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) through interactive checklists. Unlike static documentation tools, Flowster focuses on actionable execution, ensuring that every task is performed consistently and on time.

What it does

• Provides a visual builder for creating complex, multi-step SOPs and workflows.
• Automates the assignment and scheduling of recurring tasks and checklists.
• Features a 'Marketplace' of pre-built SOP templates for e-commerce and agencies.
• Includes conditional logic to show/hide steps based on user input.
• Provides real-time tracking of team progress and workflow completion.

Who it's for

• E-commerce Sellers (Amazon/Shopify)
• Digital Marketing Agencies
• Property Managers
• Operations Managers

Why it works

• Actionable: Moves documentation from a 'dead PDF' to a 'living checklist' that employees actually follow.
• Consistency: Ensures that complex tasks (like product launches or client onboarding) are error-free.
• Scalability: Makes it easier to hire and onboard new employees by providing them with 'the manual'.
• ROI: Directly reduces the hours spent on rework and management oversight.

Founder story

Founded in 2018 by Trent Dyrsmid in Boise, Idaho. Trent, a serial entrepreneur and podcaster, realized that his businesses only scaled when he had perfect processes. He built Flowster to be the 'process engine' he wished he had, focusing on making delegation easy for small business owners.
