Omflow operates with a small core team and a wide network of partners to provide tailored products and services. We supplement our core consultancy offer with coordinated access to technical authors, tool vendors, engineers, developers, and translators to create cost-effective packages that deliver exactly the right set of services to clients.
Working with your own staff and a network of trusted associates, we integrate requirements-led engineering into and alongside your existing organisational processes. Our approach gives your business the ability to correctly capture and structure requirements from stakeholders anywhere in the world. As you improve the organisation's technical and human systems, workflows become more streamlined, efficiency is improved, and the risk of costly errors is reduced.
Whether you are looking for a one-day introductory course or a long-term partnership, Omflow is what your business requires.
Testimonials
Feedback from the Chief Systems Engineer at Changan UK R&D Centre
"We value Omflow's quality of work, commitment to achieving results and flexibility in managing tasks. Omflow are customer-focused in everything they do. I am very pleased that I have Stephen supporting our project. Their experience and knowledge are valuable in ensuring our junior engineers undertake their work to the right quality and standards. The rates are reasonable and allow Changan to manage 'peaks' in work more effectively."

Feedback from an engineering business that we helped to embrace translation technology
"I booked Stephen to provide me with one-to-one training. He provided exactly what I wanted and supplemented it with useful guidance on other software issues. Stephen has a calm, unflustered teaching style. He identifies and addresses areas for further development during the training process. It would have needed weeks researching by myself to learn what I gained in half a day with Stephen."
Peter Gaukrodger Director at Condacovo Ltd.

Access to funding
Improvement can seem expensive! Perhaps you know that you want to build your capability, but are unsure if you can afford to take the next step? We have the knowledge to help your business access finance to support requirements-led engineering projects so you can reduce the cost of growing strong and profitable. Why not ask us how?
The UK government and the EU recognise the importance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in establishing a flourishing, stable economy and there are many sources of funding which have been created to support this. Much of this is readily available to the engineering community as it is targeted at projects that improve capabilities within supply chains and help to create an efficient, low carbon economy.
Located in the East Midlands of the UK, Omflow is at the heart of a thriving engineering industry and we have a good understanding of the funding landscape locally and nationally. We know how to access finance and have good connections with local awarding bodies. Our network includes business advisors, writers, and coaches who can help you turn ideas into action.

Our engineering heritage
With a base in Derby, UK, Omflow is at the heart of an area renowned for engineering excellence with a heritage dating back to the birth of the Industrial Revolution. Rolls-Royce, Bombardier, and Toyota are just a few of the many international companies operating here.
The educational community in the area also has a strong pedigree, including the University of Derby which has a fast-growing reputation for highly employable, entrepreneurial graduates. We are proud of our strong links with the universities in Derby and the wider region. Interns working with Omflow provide a rich source of fresh thinking and, in a two-way relationship, we provide them with valuable insights before they start their careers.
The benefit to our clients is that we are always up to date with our knowledge and can be very reactive to their needs.
There are also many German SMEs that are a strong force in international engineering and Omflow's linguistic skills and market knowledge mean that we are part of an international network of expertise.
