# Flow

> AI-native requirements management platform for hardware engineering teams to design, test, and iterate faster with cross-functional collaboration.

Flow is an AI-native requirements management platform designed for modern hardware engineering teams building complex systems in aerospace, automotive, defense, robotics, and energy sectors. The platform enables cross-functional collaboration between mechanical, electrical, and software teams while providing end-to-end traceability from design to release. Trusted by leading companies like Rivian, Joby Aviation, Astranis, and Stoke Space, Flow brings CI/CD principles to systems engineering.

- **End-to-End Traceability** provides complete visibility of requirements and design parameters from initial design through release, enabling teams to track changes and maintain compliance throughout the development lifecycle.

- **Live V&V Tracking** integrates with design and test data to show real-time verification status, automatically updating as design changes occur and saving weeks of manual verification checks.

- **Parameterized Requirements** converts text-based requirements into machine-readable checks for budgets and actuals, enabling automated verification through APIs and integrations.

- **AI Agent** assists with requirements management tasks while maintaining full audit trails and running with private inference to protect proprietary IP.

- **Cross-Functional Collaboration** gives engineers real ownership of requirements with a system-first mindset, replacing fragile spreadsheets and siloed workflows.

- **Regulatory Compliance** supports ITAR, CUI, NIST 800-171, SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, GDPR, and CCPA with deployment options including cloud SaaS, GovCloud, or self-hosted environments.

- **Design Tool Integrations** connects with Matlab, Python, PLM systems, simulation tools, and Excel to drive parameters via APIs for continuous verification.

- **Architecture and MBSE Support** enables model-based systems engineering with architecture views and interface management for complex hardware systems.

To get started, teams can begin a free trial directly from the website or book a demo for a guided implementation. Flow offers a 14-day full implementation with instant access, compared to 60+ day onboarding plans for legacy enterprise tools.
