Every agency hopes for smooth, honest partnerships, where good work is recognized, communication flows, and both sides honor their word. Sadly, our experience with Flowmetrics Inc., a manufacturer of flow meters and flow computers, turned out to be the opposite.
We went into this project with optimism and transparency. Our team built a clear SEO strategy, shared progress reports, and consistently delivered results. But once it came time for Flowmetrics to hold up their end of the deal, the payments, everything suddenly went quiet.
- Emails? Ignored.
- Calls? Unreturned.
- Invoices? Still outstanding since early 2024.
At first, we hoped it was a misunderstanding, maybe a delay in accounting, or a simple oversight. But as weeks turned into months and multiple follow-ups went unanswered, the pattern became impossible to ignore. This wasn’t poor communication; it was complete avoidance.
We’ve documented every interaction, every promise, every attempt to resolve things professionally. The truth is simple: Flowmetrics failed to pay for the work they agreed to and received.
For a company that promotes itself as a leader in precision engineering, this kind of behavior is anything but professional. Reliability doesn’t stop at the product level; it extends to how you treat partners, vendors, and service providers.
What You Can Learn From Our Experience
- Always protect your work with a signed agreement and payment schedule.
Don’t rely on goodwill alone. Clear documentation matters — especially with larger or long-term contracts.
- Keep every email, invoice, and report.
A paper trail isn’t just good practice — it’s your strongest defense if a client tries to disappear when payment is due.
- Recognize red flags early.
Repeated delays, vague responses, or sudden silence often signal trouble ahead. It’s better to pause the work than risk losing months of effort.
Final Thoughts
Our goal in sharing this isn’t just to call out Flowmetrics Inc. It’s to warn others who might face the same treatment. Businesses built on trust should never have to chase what they’ve rightfully earned.
We’ll continue to do what we’ve always done: deliver real results with integrity and transparency.
But as for Flowmetrics? We hope this serves as a wake-up call and a cautionary tale for others. Because good partnerships don’t go silent when it’s time to do what’s right.
