Minnesota
Back-office automation for Minnesota manufacturers and distributors.
Superior Flows is based in Minneapolis–St. Paul. We take the paperwork your office re-types every day (POs, invoices, quotes and compliance documents) and turn it into finished work inside your systems. We build it, we run it, and your team approves every result.
What we automate
From audit to running in three steps
Free workflow audit
We map where the manual hours go and pick the one workflow with the clearest payback. You leave knowing what is possible, whether or not you work with us.
Paid pilot, 2 to 3 weeks
We build that one workflow on your real documents and show it working. A small fixed fee and a result you can measure.
Managed and running
Once it is proven, we run it for you with hosting, monitoring and fixes included, for one flat monthly fee.
Built for how Minnesota shops run
Minnesota manufacturing is mostly small and mid-size companies: machine shops, fabricators, food and plastics processors, medical device suppliers, and the distributors that keep them stocked. Many have been around for decades, run on systems that work, and have a few people in the office holding the paperwork together.
Those shops rarely have an IT department, and they don't need a big software project. They need the busywork handled: the purchase orders, vendor invoices, quotes and certificates that eat hours every week.
We serve the Twin Cities metro and Greater Minnesota, including St. Cloud, Rochester, Mankato and Duluth, as well as the rest of the upper Midwest. You deal with people in your own time zone, not a ticket queue.
Example: the math for a four-person office
What comes in
- Shop
- Metal fabricator, about 40 employees
- Office staff on paperwork
- 4
- Hours each per week
- 6
- Hourly cost with benefits
- $35
What your team seesSample data
- 4 people × 6 hours × 48 weeks = 1,152 hours a year
- Assume we take over about 60% of it: 691 hours
- 691 hours × $35 = about $24,190 a year
That is the rough estimate from our savings calculator. The free audit measures your real number.

Common questions
Do you only work with Minnesota companies?
No. We are based in Minnesota and focus on the upper Midwest, but most of the work happens remotely, so we can help manufacturers and distributors anywhere in the US.
Do we need an IT department?
No. We set it up, host it and keep it running. Your team just reviews and approves the results.
What does it cost?
A small fixed fee for the pilot, then one flat monthly fee that covers hosting, monitoring and fixes. No salaries and no software licenses on your side. We quote it after the free audit.
What happens to our data?
It's used only to run your workflows. We never sell or share it, and we delete it when you ask or when you stop working with us.
