ABOUT FLINT

We lay track for businesses that make things.

Flint Systems is run by Finlay Thompson in the UK. Finlay spent five years helping firms get their work onto one central system, and started Flint to do it properly for businesses that make and ship things.

Five years watching good teams work around their software

BEFORE FLINT · FIVE YEARS AT INTAPP

Finlay led over 400 projects moving firms onto one central system, so everyone worked from the same records instead of their own spreadsheets. The way of working was sound. What held it back was the software: it could only do what it was built to do, and the business had to bend around it. It's the same story with most off-the-shelf tools.

WHY FLINT

Flint takes the same approach without those limits. Instead of squeezing your business into someone else's product, we lay the track around how you already work: your orders, your tools, your people. One line at a time, proved before the next, and yours to keep.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Three things that shape every build

Use AI to answer a question once. Use a system to keep the answer true.

If you'll ask it every Monday, it shouldn't be a prompt.

Build for the people on the floor

The packer, the baker and the person on the phone feel the problem first. We build what fixes their week.

You own it

Your data, your records, your code, and a written guide so anyone can carry it on.

THE IDEA

Businesses ready to build their own railway

We supply the plans, the track and the materials, and our team can lay it for you. Every new line runs on the track you've already laid, so each one is quicker than the last.
