New strategic membership aims to democratise enterprise-grade automation for Edinburgh’s SMBs, following a year of record client efficiency gains.
EDINBURGH, UK. 11th February 2026 – flowio, a leading UK AI Automation Agency, today announced its membership with the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce. This strategic move signals a commitment to accelerating AI led digital transformation for the region’s Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs), helping them compete on a national scale by erasing manual bottlenecks.
As businesses across Scotland face increasing pressure to do more with less, flowio’s entry into the Chamber network offers members a direct link to cutting-edge operational efficiency. The agency distinguishes itself by moving beyond the hype of simple chatbots, instead building sophisticated “AI Agents” and custom workflows that function as digital employees.
Unlike traditional consultancy firms, flowio leverages a potent combination of low-code platforms (like n8n) and custom Python development to integrate disparate business systems. This hybrid approach allows flowio to build autonomous systems that handle complex tasks—from end-to-end lead qualification and CRM management to automated invoicing and compliance checks, without the high costs associated with legacy enterprise software.
The announcement follows a breakthrough year for the agency. In the last 12 months alone, flowio’s solutions have successfully automated over 2,500 hours of manual administrative tasks for its client base, reclaiming over £950k of value for clients.
Recent client wins highlight the tangible impact of this technology:
- Voice AI Implementation: Deployed autonomous AI voice agents for property firms, reducing manual call handling time by 80% while improving lead capture rates.
- High-Velocity ROI: Delivered an average Return on Investment (ROI) of 4x within the first six months for key accounts by eliminating repetitive data entry.
- Operational Velocity: Reduced lead response times from days to minutes for local trades firm.
A Commitment to Local Business – Malcolm Gibb, Founder of flowio, commented on the new partnership:
“Joining the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce is a milestone for us. We believe that AI automation shouldn’t just be for tech giants in Silicon Valley—it should be accessible to the estate agents, tradespeople, and financial firms driving Edinburgh’s economy.”
“It’s clear from the business leaders I speak to across the UK that productivity, and doing more with less is a key business challenge in 2026. We have proven we can solve that by deploying the right AI agents, businesses can reclaim thousands of hours of lost time. We are here to show local members that they can stop drowning in admin and finally focus on growth.”
Key Highlights of the Partnership:
- Democratising AI: Making enterprise-grade AI automation accessible to non-technical sectors through low-code solutions.
- Educational Focus: Plans to support Chamber members in identifying “automation-ready” processes within their current operations.
- Local Talent, Global Tech: Bridging the gap between Scottish technical talent and traditional business sectors.
