Operating has signed a strategic partnership with 4flow, a leading global provider of supply chain consulting, software and fourth-party logistics (4PL) services, to support project resource planning across 4flow's operations—connected to their existing CRM and ERP systems.

With over 20 locations spanning North America, South America, Europe, and China, 4flow serves industry leaders including BMW, Siemens, Mars, and Volkswagen. Operating will complement 4flow's existing ERP HR/Finance backend, providing the visibility and control needed for effective project staffing in a complex, global consulting environment.

"As a leading global provider of supply chain consulting, we needed a resource planning tool that could handle our complex permission requirements across multiple teams and regions. Operating's access control capabilities now give us the granularity we need while keeping the interface intuitive for our consultants."

Matthias Moch, Vice President, 4flow

"One of the greatest advantages of Operating is that it helps us seamlessly integrate people, resource requirements and projects in one system, rather than having to rely on separate tools. With Operating, we're able to make even faster fact-based decisions when staffing customer projects."

"The implementation has been remarkably smooth. Both teams invested significant effort, both during the preparation and the integration, making sure our consultants could remain productive throughout the process and start seeing benefits from day one."

– Matthias Moch

"High-value consulting firms like 4flow are our ideal customers. Their projects are complex, their people are their product, and getting staffing right directly impacts both client outcomes and margins. 4flow runs a robust technology stack for finance and HR—Operating doesn't try to replace those systems. We sit in the middle, connecting people, projects, and profitability. That's exactly where we want to be."

Lauri Eurén, CEO & Founder, Operating

4flow joining us is a significant milestone for Operating in the DACH region. Germany has some of the world's most sophisticated professional services firms, and earning their trust validates the enterprise-readiness we've been building. We're excited to support 4flow's continued growth and grateful for the close collaboration throughout the onboarding process.
