What are flowroute's major competitors
Hello and thanks for asking Wonder about the competitive landscape of Flowroute. The short version is that Flowroute's top competitors, excluding the largest telecommunication companies, are Intelepeer, Tropo and Plivo.
BACKGROUND
Flowroute is a leading communication services provider, with a focus on serving the needs of SaaS companies, developers and high-tech companies. Flowroute is not only a software company, but also a carrier, providing its clients with direct access to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Thus, Flowroute's clients can programmatically access in real-time telecommunication resources such as phone numbers, messaging, inbound and outbound calling and advanced signaling.
METHODOLOGY
In order to determine who are the main competitors of Flowroute I conducted an extensive research on multiple business platforms and databases, including Hoovers, Masterseek, Datafox, Crunchbase and Owler.
Hoovers and Masterseek didn't include any competitors of the company.
I performed an advanced search on Crunchbase. The only companies listed in all four categories in which Flowroute is also included are:
o MessageBird (Netherlands)
o Flowroute
o Matrix (UK)
Since the other two companies are not US based, I assumed that they are oriented mainly towards different target markets.
The descriptions of the five competitors listed at Datafox suggested that they provide tangential, but mainly different services from Flowroute, so I excluded them as well.
1. Windstream
2. Level 3
3. Comcast
4. Earthlink
5. Centurylink
6. Broadview network
7. Intelepeer
However, most of these companies are very large with hundreds and thousands employees, and also have much bigger annual revenues, comparing to Flowroute. Since in the request it was specified that only companies similar in size should be included and the major telecom companies should be excluded, I selected only Intelepeer as the smallest one of the competitors, with a similar service range.
Further, I looked through Intelepeer's main competitors, and chose two of the most similar to Flowroute companies, by revenue, company size and also service range.
CONCLUSION
In the attached spreadsheet I included a brief history, products/solutions offered, competitive advantage, annual revenue, number of employees, target markets and pricing strategies for the Flowroute company, as well as for three of its major competitors: Intelepeer, Tropo and Plivo.
