Flowly provides data-driven solutions for public transportation networks, targeting operators and local authorities as its primary clients. The company operates in the mobility and smart city markets, offering tools to monitor and analyze passenger flows. Its business model centers on providing its data platform, Flowly Data, and a patented sensor solution, Flowly Sensors, to help clients optimize their services. Revenue is likely generated through contracts and deployments with transportation networks.

Founded in 2018, the company originates from La Réunion and was developed in collaboration with local authorities and transport operators to address their specific challenges. This collaborative approach, combining data specialists with transport experts, underpins the platform's design and ongoing development. Flowly has achieved significant market traction, with deployments across nearly 30 networks and over 1,000 vehicles in cities such as Rouen, Dublin, and Valence, covering various transport modes including buses, trams, and trains.

The core of Flowly's offering is a platform that aggregates and analyzes diverse mobility data, including passenger counts, ticketing information, and travel times, into a single interface. A key feature is the patented sensor technology that anonymously detects signals from passengers' smartphones to gather data on vehicle occupancy, origin-destination patterns, and wait times at stops. This technology operates without requiring personal data, ensuring compliance with GDPR. The platform offers several functionalities, such as matching transport supply with demand, analyzing fraud, improving punctuality by identifying traffic bottlenecks, and supporting the planning of on-demand transport services.
