Implementation factories for compliance-software vendors
Flowfront builds an implementation factory for your platform, so your partners take a new customer live in weeks instead of months. The customer’s data goes in as it is, in any format, and comes out in the shape your platform needs, checked by a person before it loads.
The problem
Getting a customer live shouldn’t take a quarter.
Months per customer
Moving a customer’s existing records into your data model usually takes months, and every month delays their go-live and your revenue.
An expert in every project
Every customer needs someone who knows your platform inside out to map their data and fix what breaks, so onboarding speed is capped by how many experts you have.
Customers do the clean-up
Customers are asked to clean and reformat their own data first. It’s slow, they hate it, and it’s where projects stall.
How it works
Four stations, one person in charge.
A factory is built once for your platform, then used for every customer.
- Station 1
Arrives as it is
Spreadsheets, exports and old-system dumps, in whatever shape the customer has them. No clean-up first.
- Station 2
Staged
Records are mapped into your platform’s data model, with anything that doesn’t fit flagged for a person.
- Station 3
Approved by a person
Your implementer or partner checks what will load and signs it off. Nothing loads unchecked.
- Station 4
Loaded
Records go in through your platform’s own APIs or batch imports, the way your platform expects.
Example: one supplier file from a new customer, start to finish.

Case Zero · OSA-Int
38 modules. One factory.
OSA-Int implements an enterprise GRC (governance, risk and compliance) platform for its customers. We’re happy to name the platform on a call.
“The factory changed how we take a customer live: the customer’s data goes in as it arrived, comes out in the shape we need, and nothing is loaded until one of our consultants has checked and approved it. The work that used to depend on the one person who knew the tricks is now written down and repeatable.”Eddie de Vries, CEO, OSA-Int
