inFlow Inventory

Sales & Purchase made simple

Comments: Software is one of my favorites for companies with no purchase order system.

Pros:

Great for small companies who need sales and purchasing. Sales has records of customer quoted sales and purchases can see what to order. Great way for a company to keep track of purchases and data can be exported to third part software. Purchasing software even has serial column for warranty verification of products. Was great for HVAC and appliance repair company. Great software for company with no purchase order system. Can make everything paperless and user's can view inventory, content and prices with no license. User license is portable.

Cons:

Software lacks year end inventory count reset. Reports could be better to show year to date expenses. I had a tough time getting year to date reports.

Decent Inventory Cloud management at a fraction of the cost of the competitors

Comments: Much better than anything else we trialled, the interface is good and their help team responsive.
Overall very pleased with it

Pros:

Pictorial easy to use cloud interface, app which allows scanning inventory in and out. Easy to manufacture items and sub components of items

Cons:

Still working a few bugs out of the system, but what software isn't. There is some rather crucial information missing on stock adjustments (like who did them), which makes following up a pain for me at the moment - I hope they are going to add this data field in the future. I would also like to be able to make explanations for stock movement mandatory

Alternatives Considered: Fishbowl, Odoo, Trello, NetSuite, Sage 100, Katana Cloud Inventory and Zoho Inventory

Reasons for Choosing inFlow Inventory: MRPeasy was too difficult for my users to understand, and was not user friendly or easy. Sortly was pretty and cheaper, however it doesn't have manufacturing or real inventory control processes

Switched From: MRPeasy and Sortly

Reasons for Switching to inFlow Inventory: We manufacture items and make products with sub components, inflow was by far the easiest and most user friendly package for this. I was also impressed by their ability to support a young business. We had Inflow fully up and running in one with with 3 locations and thousands of lines of stock. People can start using it with confidence with very little training thanks to its easy and logical interface.

WMS that I Used for a short time

Pros:

Easy to use the software and eamsy to manage

Cons:

Lacks critical order fulfillment when needed

InFlow Review

Comments: overall, great! the support is good, the program is straightforward enough for my whole team to use with varying technological ability.

Pros:

ease of use, intuitive setup, cloud-based (so no server to worry about). mobile capability.

Cons:

the two versions both need to be used (web and app) to get full functionality - I can't do dropships, I can't filter my searches as well, and I can't filter my reporting as well on the web as I can in the app. I still can't get some of the reports that I need and have to run multiple + combine them manually. mobile search and filter doesn't allow to filter to just in stock. Please, PLEASE develop a financial aspect so we don't need a second software for accounting!!

Alternatives Considered: NCR Voyix POS and QuickBooks Enterprise

Reasons for Switching to inFlow Inventory: pricing, inventory management and reporting, and recommendation from a colleague

10/10 would recommend

Comments: I've worked with a number of POS systems and I love inflow. The staff is also SUPER lovely when I have any questions or concerns.

Pros:

Its super easy to use, set up to work with other programs and the inventory system is GREAT

Cons:

I wish there was an easier way to link Sales Orders and Purchase Orders within those screens

Alternatives Considered: Sage 300cloud, NetSuite and Lightspeed Retail

Reasons for Switching to inFlow Inventory: We had used the non cloud version and during covid lock down I had looked at other options. But for ease of use, price point and customer service we stayed with inflow.

Review from Eastside Exterminators

Comments: Overall it has been an awesome experience. I was sold from the beginning. [sensitive content hidden] to get our inventory imported and get our custom fields setup, it was clear that the support was awesome. We have been with inflow since 2018 and I have recommended inflow to some of our sister companies across the country.

Pros:

Technical support is quick to respond and communicates clearly. User interface on the desktop version is very clear and easy to use. Showroom access helps efficiency.

Cons:

Having to pay for increments of 5 user subscriptions at a time. Meaning that one person needing to be added will cost you adding 5, leaving 4 licenses unused. Showroom needs an "add to cart" button. Currently, you just increase the quantity, which works fine, it just confuses people new to the process until they get the hang of it. It also leads to people adding things to their cart that they did not mean to add.

INFLOW FOR WINDOWS

Comments: Hands down, the best decision we have made for Inventory tracking, order writing and invoicing.

Pros:

We love the ability to easily enter orders and track their progress. The Reporting is amazing and the ability to customize fields is key to our ability to utilize INFLOW in the most efficient way for our Company.

Cons:

There are not many cons. One would be the fact that once we import new data, the new pricing does not update on Purchase Orders. That would be super helpful for us.

Alternatives Considered: QuickBooks Desktop

Reasons for Choosing inFlow Inventory: Our computers no longer could run that program. Also, we needed something to track Inventory.

Switched From: dBASE 2019

Reasons for Switching to inFlow Inventory: The ability to easily customize products.

All Software is a work in progress

Comments: Overall its the best i have found. I used Millenium software called Aatrex and it had one major advantage, I was able to program my own reports using crystal reports. The disadvantage is they have not gone to the cloud or handheld devices.

Pros:

The ability to have many types of inventory and pricing in CAD & other currencies. The pre baked different ways an order can be printed, invoice, confirmation, pick list, box label

Cons:

I cannot figure out how to make an inventory report that excludes items with zero inventory on hand. The software is missing the ability to easily print out a list of available products that i can hand to a customer. In order to have such a list, I must export to excel and manually remove any items with zero or negative inventory. Its a huge time sink

Alternatives Considered: Odoo

Reasons for Choosing inFlow Inventory: Because i needed something accessible remotely to begin with. once i switched i learned how flexible the software is for inventory management.

Reasons for Switching to inFlow Inventory: Odoo seemed like an octopus, always offering more modules and too many features.

Love the Inflow iCloud Product

Comments: Overall, this software has been a great help in my business, managing all aspects to help production run smoothly & CRM management through to managing my vendors... I would highly recommend this product to others without hesitation

Pros:

The software is user friendly to use & learn, training materials are easily accessible all the time.

Cons:

The iCloud product doesn't have some features as per the desktop version.

Alternatives Considered: Odoo and Zoho Inventory

Reasons for Choosing inFlow Inventory: I made the switch, as I needed an internet-based software to manage my inventory whilst out of the office. I also wanted a user-friendly interface

Switched From: Zoho Inventory

Reasons for Switching to inFlow Inventory: I was already familiar with the Premiere version

Practical

Comments: It has all the we currently need in terms of order management and inventory management, and such basic functions are enough so far. But the SQL engine tends to jam very often... it is annoying yet not a cause to discard the software yet.

Pros:

Easy to use, easy to deploy and configure

Cons:

Unstable, tends to lag frequently. Consumes too much resources. Must be restarted once per day

agricast inflow

Comments: its made us work more effectively to allow us to get product to our customers quicker

Pros:

the ease of use its simple and quick to learn

Cons:

nothing as of yet apart from the selecting of pictures when you log in

Inflow Inventory is my go to product

Comments: 10/10 would recommend. Keeps track of orders, customers , and inventory in one stop shop.

Pros:

I like the user friendliness of this software. Being a small business it makes life a lot easier.

Cons:

Sometimes I have trouble uploading price sheets.

Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team Review

Pros:

A highly functional platform that assists us in tracking both incoming and outgoing stock.

Cons:

The mobile app requires further development. A couple of notable issues include difficulties with barcode scanning and instances where the application crashes or fails to allow user sign-in.

Star find!

Comments: Customer Service is pretty quick for a global business. We have had very few issues that weren't immediately solve for us.

Pros:

InFlow has been with us from the beginning. It's an intuitive system with great support and endless information available online. It's as complex as you want it to be.

Cons:

Struggling with setting up the correct tax codes for transfer into Quickbooks. We've not come to grips with all the data transfer between the two softwares, so it requires tidying up in QB.

Excellent Inventory System

Comments: This has proved to be a good investment for my company

Pros:

Capable of working with a large amount of inventory

Cons:

Will not work with previous version of inFlow

Excellent Service & Support

Comments: Overall experience is excellent on all levels. Main plus is being able to have technical issues resolved.

Pros:

Pros: Superior Support with real humans. This is a company that you can actual talk to real humans that are knowledgeable and can quickly resolve any issue. You can tell immediately you are not talking to someone reading a script on how to resolve an issue. They know and resolve.

Cons:

I wasn't a fan of moving to the cloud. We have not had any issues though.

Ease of Using Inflow Inventory Program

Comments: In my opinion, Inflow cloud is very user friendly. I like that in the products tab you can search for any item with using word in the title. It doesn't have to be specific. I feel that the system is very straight forward and easy to learn all the basic functions for supply ordering and inventory control.

Pros:

The customer service that work with Inflow are very attentive and knowledgeable about the system and time to review and come up with solutions to any question we may have to streamline our inventory process.

Cons:

The cloud version and the app are different and sometimes confusing to switch between the two. I feel there are more features available in the cloud version.

Inflow Review

Comments: I think Inflow is a great tool for businesses up to a certain size. I like the simplicity to it compared to some programs.

Pros:

I like the simplicity of it. It's fairly easy to pick up on how to navigate through it.

Cons:

There is no easy way to see what hasn't been picked for a manufacturer order. When you use the auto fill button, you can't revert back without leaving the screen. Also, when you use the auto fill button to see what is remaining to pick, you risk saving by accident.

Wonderful Experience

Comments: I started using Inflow around 9 years ago. I have had to deal with a few other systems and I can assure you they can not hold a candle to inflow. Inflow has been the system that I have used to build our entire parts organization.

Pros:

The ease of viewing product usage to determine min & max levels.

Cons:

I really do not have an answer for that.

USER FRIENDLY AND GREAT INVENTORY SOFTWARE

Comments: Really appreciate the experience with Inflow

Pros:

frequently webinar User friendly easy to learn A lot of option to select from for many features

Cons:

search option is not optimal report is missing some cross over option

Inflow plus

Pros:

I can actually add pictures to my inventory which it makes it easy to find

Cons:

I think it's great no complaints here not only is it convenient it's easy and manageable.

Amazing app

Pros:

How easy it tracks inventory, user friendly, create sales orders.

Cons:

Logs us in and out sometimes, which it would save the invoice.

Very User Friendly

Comments: Very Good

Pros:

It's very easy to deploy and setup , user friendly and easy to learn and train your team on it.Customer service is very responsive and helpful.

Cons:

It has some missing feature that may be critical for us and will ease our whole order process and fulfillment like product variant matrix.

Alternatives Considered: Odoo and Zoho Inventory

Reasons for Switching to inFlow Inventory: Easy to use and learn.

A dream to work with

Comments: Pretty much all the Inventory and work orders, and practical flows of invoicing, sales orders, purchase orders etc.

Pros:

Quite simply, it is easy and allows for most functions we need with work orders and serialized items. The Inflow Cloud is fast enough and easily customizable. Great stuff, quite simply. :) And the customer service is nothing short of stunning.

Cons:

There are no cons, per se, more features that would be great to add on, as time passes and you develop the software further; the Android client (being able to do POs, SOs and invoicing would be fantastic). There are some other bugs with the Android client, in terms of cost pricing on the products that can be straightened out; right now we can't really use it for much. Furthermore, it would be great to be able to communicate in our own language with customers that are non-English speakers, by adding European specialty letters instead of ? :) And should you move towards creating shipments directly through API (with tracking updates) towards DHL, TNT, UPS etc, that would be cool (check out the Parcel tracker app for Android). And also of course taking the step out towards an own integrated sales platform to a little bit bigger extent than the inventory showroom (like a webshop of sorts), rather than the one-way integration to Shopify, that could be a really interesting proposition for us (however, we understand that it is an inventory system, and at that it is great stuff.

Very accurate and easy to use.

Comments: This program is so very easy to use. However, the price doesn’t include some features that we really wish that it would. The fact that you can either have cloud-based or device-based is not a good thing, especially when it’s something so important. If we had an internet outage, we couldn’t use it. If we wanted to be able to use it without internet, we lose the app compatibility. We shouldn’t have to decide between the two; there should be an option that includes both, and many people would pay to have that.

Pros:

I love that I can use images and add barcodes all in the same place. It is so easy to use and even easier to teach others how to use it. I also like that I can get reports on how many items we’ve sold and to whom. The apps have come in handy so often, because when we did an inventory check, we were able to go around using the mobile app rather than having to go back and forth between the computer and the shelves. This app made life a lot easier, and support was so helpful during the few times we had issues.

Cons:

It’s a tad pricey. In order to get the mobile app, you have to pay. This includes permission for two people to use the program. However, this includes support, which is definitely worth it. We would prefer to also have the option to have the inventory stored on our devices rather than just in the cloud, but if we changed to the inFlow On-Premise, we would lose our mobile device compatibility. We would be willing to pay a little more over the already-pricey cost to have the option to have it cloud-based and on our devices.
