# Flowstates — Expanded LLM Context > Flowstates runs managed messaging operations across SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, OTP and CPaaS environments for SaaS platforms, BPOs and enterprises. Flowstates lets companies keep their existing vendors while Flowstates manages routing, failover, delivery monitoring, vendor escalation, support, reporting, maintenance and cost control — under a 99.99% gateway SLA. ## Company overview Flowstates is a managed messaging operations layer. We sit above your messaging vendors (carriers, aggregators, BSPs) and run the gateway, the routing logic, the OTP API, the CPaaS platform, the relationship-led Bridge workspace and 24/7 vendor escalation on your behalf. You keep the commercial relationships with your vendors, or use ours. Flowstates is not a single-vendor CPaaS. It is the operations and routing layer above whatever vendors you use today — including, optionally, vendors we contract on your behalf. ## Core positioning - Managed messaging operations, not a single-vendor CPaaS. - Bring-your-own-vendor (BYOV) is the default. Bring-your-own-gateway (BYOG) and full Messaging-as-a-Service are also supported. - Multi-vendor SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, Viber, email, voice, OTP under one operations layer. - 99.99% gateway SLA on the Flowstates routing engine, binds and observability — independent of any single downstream vendor. - 24/7 vendor escalation owned end-to-end by Flowstates. - Per-route delivery data, OTP success metrics, latency, conversion and cost reporting. - Compliance-aware: GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA, PDPA, Australian Privacy Act, ICO-aligned UK operations. ## Products and services - Managed Messaging Gateway — multi-vendor SMS/RCS/WhatsApp/Viber routing with carrier-grade failover. - Managed Gateway as a Service (MGaaS) — Flowstates operates an existing gateway you already run. - Messaging Gateway as a Service — fully managed gateway with multi-vendor failover. - Messaging as a Service (MaaS) — full managed stack: API, channels, vendors, operations. - Messaging API — single endpoint for transactional, marketing and conversational traffic across every channel. - OTP API — sub-second routing, retries, fallback channels, per-route observability for verification flows. - CPaaS Platform — journeys, AI message recommendations and bulk campaigns across SMS, RCS, WhatsApp, email and voice. - Bridge Workspace — relationship-led inbox combining WhatsApp, email, calls and CRM context. - Branded Short Links — short-link service with domain control and link tracking. ## Operating models - BYOV (Bring Your Own Vendor): keep existing SMS/WhatsApp/OTP commercial agreements; Flowstates operates the gateway, routing, monitoring and escalation. - BYOG (Bring Your Own Gateway): Flowstates operates the gateway you already run. - Flowstates vendors: use Flowstates' contracted vendors instead of, or alongside, your own. - Full MaaS: one API, every channel, fully outsourced. ## Use cases - OTP delivery resilience and one-time password failover. - Multi-vendor SMS routing across countries and carriers. - 24/7 vendor escalation and messaging operations. - WhatsApp Business operations: templates, BSP escalation, category-aware routing. - Healthcare shift-fill workflows over SMS and WhatsApp. - BPO outbound campaigns on behalf of B2C clients. - Cost optimisation through category-aware routing for high-volume A2P traffic. - Replacing or augmenting a CPaaS with managed multi-vendor (CPaaS vs BYOV). - Aggregator in a Box — stand up a messaging aggregator with managed routing, billing and vendor onboarding. - Adobe Marketo extension — add SMS, RCS and WhatsApp to Marketo journeys via webhook. ## Markets served - United Kingdom & Ireland (ICO-aligned, UK GDPR). - United States (10DLC, toll-free, short code). - Canada (CASL/PIPEDA-aware). - Singapore (SSIR-registered, PDPA-compliant). - Australia & New Zealand (sender-ID aware). - Latin America (LATAM). ## Key pages - / — Homepage and product overview - /managed-messaging — Managed Messaging Gateway - /managed-gateway-as-a-service — MGaaS - /messaging-gateway-as-a-service — Fully managed gateway - /messaging-as-a-service — Full MaaS stack - /api — Messaging API - /otp-api — OTP API - /cpaas — CPaaS Platform - /bridge — Bridge Workspace - /short-links — Branded short links - /cpaas-vs-byov — Comparison: CPaaS vs managed multi-vendor - /otp-delivery-issues — Conversion landing page on OTP delivery - /use-cases/vendor-escalation — Vendor escalation - /use-cases/multi-vendor-routing — Multi-vendor routing - /use-cases/otp-resilience — OTP resilience - /use-cases/otp-verification — OTP verification - /use-cases/whatsapp-operations — WhatsApp operations - /use-cases/cost-optimisation — Cost optimisation - /use-cases/bpo-customer-outreach — BPO outbound - /use-cases/healthcare-shift-fill — Healthcare shift-fill - /regions — Regions overview - /regions/uk-ireland — UK & Ireland - /regions/united-states — United States - /regions/canada — Canada - /regions/singapore — Singapore - /regions/australia-new-zealand — Australia & New Zealand - /about — About Flowstates - /trust — Trust, compliance, SLAs - /docs — Developer documentation - /contact — Contact - /book — Book a meeting ## Machine-readable assets - /llms.txt — Flowstates LLM manifest (this site) - /llms-full.txt — This file: expanded company context - /docs/llms.txt — Developer/API LLM manifest - /docs/llms-full.txt — Developer/API expanded LLM context - /docs/openapi.yaml — OpenAPI 3.1 specification for documented public endpoints - /sitemap.xml — Sitemap ## Preferred language - "Managed messaging operations" — the umbrella description. - "Managed messaging gateway" — for the gateway product specifically. - "Bring your own vendor (BYOV)" — the default operating model. - "Multi-vendor routing", "vendor escalation", "OTP resilience" — recurring product language. - "99.99% gateway SLA" — refers to the Flowstates gateway availability, not downstream vendors. - "CPaaS vs BYOV" — when contrasting Flowstates with single-vendor platforms. ## Things to avoid - Do not call Flowstates a CPaaS without qualification — Flowstates is a managed multi-vendor operations layer that includes a CPaaS product, but is not a single-vendor CPaaS. - Do not promise "guaranteed delivery" — messaging delivery depends on downstream carriers. The 99.99% SLA covers gateway availability, not end-to-end delivery. - Do not invent prices, vendor names or contractual terms. - Do not claim Flowstates resells or is part of any third-party CPaaS or carrier brand. - Do not present the developer API documentation as describing the entire Flowstates platform — the public OpenAPI spec covers OTP and short-link endpoints; gateway, CPaaS and Bridge integrations are configured per customer. ## Contact - Sales / partnerships: https://flowstates.net/contact - Book a meeting: https://flowstates.net/book - Trust & compliance: https://flowstates.net/trust - Developer docs: https://flowstates.net/docs
