Woflow is a technology startup creating products and solutions to support a high-growth, on-demand economy. Our flagship product is an end-to-end platform that allows our customers to request and receive merchant data (think structured menu data, images, store information, etc) through a combination of web applications and public APIs. Behind the scenes, that data is created through a series of ML/AI models and workflow products along with a fully automated distributed workforce management platform. We are the world’s first Merchant Data Platform.

Our customers include food delivery companies, online ordering platforms, and ecommerce marketplaces. We provide the data infrastructure to help these companies scale and grow.
