Frequently asked questions
Cloud-native — built from the ground up on Google Cloud infrastructure using modern architecture. This is fundamentally different from vendors who take decades-old software, put it on a remote server, and call it “cloud.” Flyntlok runs in any standard web browser without plugins or VPN, updates deploy automatically every Wednesday with zero downtime, and data is encrypted and backed up on the same infrastructure that runs YouTube and Gmail. The founder built it this way because, as an equipment dealer, he experienced firsthand how “cloud-enabled” legacy platforms fail to deliver modern performance.
Cloud-native means the software was designed for the cloud from day one — browser-based, real-time data synchronization, API-first integrations, automatic updates. Cloud-hosted means someone took existing software and moved it to a remote server — the same codebase, the same limitations, the same user experience, just running at a different address. The practical difference shows up in three places: integration capability (cloud-native connects to modern tools), update speed (cloud-native ships weekly, cloud-hosted ships rarely), and scalability (cloud-native adds users and locations instantly, cloud-hosted requires infrastructure planning).
No. Flyntlok runs in any standard web browser — Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox. No plugins, no VPN, no local software installation. Open the browser, log in, and work. This applies to every device: desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone.
Every Wednesday. Updates deploy automatically with zero downtime — your team doesn’t even notice it happened. New features, performance improvements, and fixes ship continuously. You always have the latest version without scheduling upgrade windows, coordinating with IT, or worrying about compatibility issues.
Yes. Google Cloud provides enterprise-grade security infrastructure including encryption for data in transit and at rest, automatic daily backups across distributed systems, continuous security monitoring, and compliance capabilities that meet requirements for regulated industries. Role-based access controls let you define exactly who can see what data and take what actions. This security posture is significantly stronger than a server in your back office that nobody has patched in six months.
Because they have to maintain the old system — supporting existing customers who are still using it — while simultaneously building a new one from scratch. Development resources split between two codebases. Every new requirement (tax rules, OEM interface changes, credit card regulations) has to be implemented twice. This is a well-documented failure pattern in software engineering. Flyntlok didn’t have this problem because there was no legacy system to maintain — the entire team focused on one modern platform from the start.
