About Flowcart
Flowcart, formerly Sukhiba, is a conversational commerce platform that helps brands acquire, convert and retain customers through WhatsApp. Its AI-powered tools support product discovery, in-chat carts and checkout, abandoned-cart recovery, customer re-engagement and loyalty programmes. The platform connects with commerce backends, CRM and ERP systems and payment gateways.
The company describes Flowcart as an evolution from Sukhiba's WhatsApp customer-engagement tools into a full-funnel commerce platform. Its current official website presents AI agents for cart recovery, guided shopping and customer retention. These product descriptions are company-reported; the rebrand was also reported by Disrupt Africa in July 2025.
