# flowdit

> flowdit is a modular Connected Worker Inspection platform for digitizing inspections, audits, commissioning, maintenance and quality operations in industry. It is multilingual, mobile and fully offline-capable, hosted in Germany, and used by manufacturers, utilities and service contractors worldwide. flowdit is not a consumer app and not a general-purpose form builder.

flowdit reduces human error, increases traceability and keeps teams audit-ready with AI-enhanced workflows. The platform is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Dutch, Russian and Indonesian; checklists and reports render automatically in the user's language. The German-language site at /de/ is a full localisation, not a partial translation, and DACH is a core market.

Deployment: cloud hosted in Germany (default), on-premise for regulated industries, or hybrid with an edge gateway. Security: ISO 27001 hosting in the EU, TLS in transit and at rest, GDPR compliant with DPA, role-based access, daily encrypted backups and audit logs.

Core modules: digital checklists, audit and inspection management, maintenance management, IoT and sensor integration, quality management, commissioning. Native integrations include SAP, Power BI, Microsoft Teams and Make; IoT connectivity via MQTT, HTTP, BLE and LoRa. A full REST API and webhooks are available. Pricing is per active user and module, with a free tier and a free trial that requires no credit card.
