One platform from PO to paid, AI that works on the same records as your team, a home screen that shows what needs you, and the depth B2B trade needs. Here is why each one matters, with the proof.
1flux is a modern ERP for B2B companies that trade, distribute, supply projects or sell services, built on four ideas. One platform: sales, purchasing, stock and the books share one record from PO to paid. AI-native: AI works on the same structured, permissioned records as your team, and today Import PO with AI turns a customer's PO into a draft quotation. Simple: every work area opens on what needs action. Built for trade: warehouses, vans, companies and currencies.
Most B2B companies start with spreadsheets, WhatsApp and an entry-level accounting package. It works until the business has several salespeople, a warehouse or two and a second company. Then each tool holds one piece of the truth, and someone spends the month-end making them agree.
The usual next steps each solve part of the problem. Generic small-business tools are quick to start, but they’re often accounting-first, with stock and purchasing added later. Large ERP suites are usually configured in long, partner-led projects. And AI often arrives as a chat window added to modules that each keep their own data.
1flux takes a different route. It ships the flows B2B companies use to quote, buy, receive, deliver and invoice, on one data model, with AI built in from the start.
Today
With 1flux
Four ideas run through every part of 1flux: one platform, AI built in, a simple way to work and the depth B2B trade needs.
One platform
Quotations, sales orders, purchasing, receiving, inventory and accounting share one login, one data model and one set of permissions.
AI-native
AI works inside the one data model, under the same permissions and approval rules as your team. Today, Import PO with AI drafts quotations from customers’ POs.
AI in 1fluxSimple
7 overview pages open on a "Needs action" list, and admins shape stages, approvals and fields without code.
Built for trade
Stock per warehouse, store and van, three costing methods, each legal entity with its own books, and any currency per document.
Multi-entity in 1fluxAI can only do real work on data it can trust and rules it has to follow. In 1flux, that's one data model and one command layer with permissions, approvals and an audit trail, shared by people and AI.
| What to look at | Bolted-on AI | AI-native: 1flux |
|---|---|---|
| Where the AI sits | A chat window beside separate modules | Inside the one data model every module shares |
| What it works on | The module it was added to, or a copied index | The same structured, connected records your team uses |
| What it does | A handful of scripted actions | Real work on real documents: Import PO with AI drafts the quotation from a customer’s PO |
| Permissions and approvals | Rebuilt for the assistant | The same roles, record rules and approval rules as your team |
| Audit | Hard to tell what the AI changed | AI’s work is labelled, and every change leaves an audit trail |
Customers, items, stock, orders and journals are the same records in every app, and every document links to the one before it.
Actions run through permissioned commands with an audit trail, and approvals wherever your rules ask for them.
Workflow stages, approvals and required fields are data, not code, so people and AI follow the same rules.
Grouped by pillar, each with the proof: what 1flux does, in the product's own terms.
Nobody retypes an order, so every team sees the same status. Read the quote-to-cash guide and the procure-to-pay guide.
Operational documents post their own balanced journals through one posting gateway, in the same step as the stock, and a "Stock vs ledger" check flags any difference.
Receiving runs in 2 controlled steps, so nothing reaches stock or the books until it has been checked.
The AI in 1flux works on the same structured, connected and permissioned records your team uses. Today that powers Import PO with AI.
1flux opens each work area on a "Needs action" list, not a wall of reports.
Everyone sees what their job needs, and nothing more.
Admins shape how records move under Settings → Workflows.
1flux Inventory tracks on hand, reserved, available and awaiting receipt for every item, in every warehouse, store and van.
1flux was designed multi-entity from the start, rather than one database per company.
Country packs for the UAE, Saudi Arabia and India seed tax codes, legal forms and registration fields, and you can sell to customers anywhere, in any currency.
Most B2B companies run on one of 3 approaches today. This table compares them by approach, not by specific product, on the things 1flux was built for.
| What matters | Spreadsheets and separate apps | Generic SMB tools | Heavyweight ERP | 1flux |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| From PO to paid | Retyped between files | Often split across apps or add-ons | Usually configured during implementation | Built in: each document creates the next, from quotation to customer payment |
| Where the AI works | Copied into a separate tool | Added to individual apps | Added to existing modules | Built in: on the one data model, under the same permissions and approval rules as your team |
| Several companies | One file per company | Often a separate subscription per company | Varies by edition; often set up during implementation | Built in: separate books per entity in one workspace, and one consolidation run |
| Where the day starts | Someone chases each list | A dashboard per app | Dashboards and reports, often configured per role | Built in: 7 overviews, each opening on a “Needs action” list |
| Your process | Whatever the file allows | Settings within each app | Configurable, often with a partner | Built in: stages, approvals, required fields and automations, set by your admins without code |
| Trade documents and registrations | Templates you maintain | Varies; often needs customisation | Usually through a localisation partner | Built in: purchase orders, GRNs, tax registrations and the Saudi National Address |

1flux is operations-first, while most accounting packages are books-first. Quotations, sales orders, purchasing, goods receiving and stock control are core to 1flux, and each one posts its own journal automatically. 1flux also covers the core books: supplier payments, bank reconciliation, a profit and loss and balance sheet for each legal entity, and VAT returns prepared from the VAT already posted.
1flux ships ready-made flows for B2B trade instead of a toolkit to configure. Requisitions, purchase orders, GRN check-in, goods receipt reports, Arabic and English quotation layouts and multi-entity books come built in, and admins adjust stages, approvals and required fields without code. Because every module shares one data model and one command layer, AI is part of the platform rather than added to separate modules.
1flux is AI-native: its AI works inside the one data model every module shares, on the same structured, connected and permissioned records your team uses. Bolted-on AI usually sits in a chat window beside separate modules, works on a copy of their data and needs its own permissions. In 1flux, AI follows the same permissions as your team, and an AI-drafted quotation follows your normal approval rules. Today that powers Import PO with AI.
Yes. 1flux suits B2B companies that have outgrown their spreadsheets. Its import workbenches take companies and contacts (5,000 rows per file) and items (10,000 rows per file), map your columns and validate every row before anything is saved. Opening stock and an opening trial balance post on your cutover date. See 1flux compared with spreadsheets.
Yes. Each legal entity in a 1flux workspace has its own currency, tax registration, letterhead, document numbering, warehouses and books, including its own profit and loss and balance sheet. People can be limited to the entities they work in when you invite them, and an entity switcher shows where you are working. A consolidation run combines every entity's ledger into one group currency.
Yes. Admins configure stages, assignment, time limits, required fields, approvals and automations for deals, quotations and tasks, and time limits and automations for sales orders. They add custom fields, task types and numbering formats too, all without code. Requisitions and goods received notes have their own approval steps, and journals separate preparing from posting, so control is built in wherever stock or money moves.
Yes. Each work area in 1flux opens on a “Needs action” list of up to 6 rows, sorted by severity, each opening exactly the records behind it and shown only to people who can act on them. A command palette (⌘K) jumps to pages and creates records, and pick and dispatch screens give storekeepers what they need without showing prices.
