I am happy we changed from Global shop solutions Pros I like that it is simpler than our last ERP. Last year we downgraded our CRM from salesforce and saved so much time and money. This appears to be the same. We will save a lot because of the overhead managing a mid market ERP system. I is also so fast compared to our old system. Working in the browser in the cloud is great! We have been very happy with the QBO integration Cons I wish there was a shipstation integration and an active campaign integration. I wish the zapier integration included customer record transfer. I wish the woocommerce integration was a little deeper. Primarily I wish the description synced. We may use a third party PIM database. Alternatives considered [Fishbowl](https://www.capterra.com/p/123794/Fishbowl/) Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory Cost and functionality were the primary drivers Switched from [Global Shop Solutions](https://www.capterra.com/p/79014/One-System-ERP-Solutions/) GSS was too big for us. We are a smaller company and needed something that was simpler with less overhead. Review Source KF Karla F. Corporate Office Liaison and Compliance Analyst Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "inFlow Inventory - Worth the Effort" April 11, 2025 4.0 Overall we have really come to rely on inFlow Inventory. The customer service we receive is some of the best we've ever encountered. The ongoing (free) training provided by their webinars cannot be beat, and I strongly encourage anyone struggling with the software to take the time to watch a few of those, they really are a game changer. Would we purchase this software again? Absolutely. I'm not sure we could run our business without it anymore. A word of advice though - set it up carefully. Yes, everything is changeable, but depending upon the complexity of your BOMs it can be a daunting experience. Pros We use Inflow Inventory in our vehicle manufacturing business (we build one of a kind handmade specialized vehicles). We've been able to set up BOMs, track inventory, handle parts sales, etc., all with real time updates. Cons There are a few things Inflow could do better. Being able to really customize some of the screens would help (the options are there, but at times it's very flaky, might work, might not, roll the dice and take a chance). It also does not automatically update costing on BOMs when you alter the cost of a raw part, so there is more touch time than really should be required. This might be a problem with QuickBooks more than Inflow, but the integration between the two is hopeless. Save your time, don't even bother trying. Switched from [Millennium Global Management](https://www.capterra.com/p/128688/Millennium-Global-Management/) inFlow seemed to fit our needs better, and the customer service with inFlow has been/still is absolutely amazing.

Cons production and delivery constant traceability Review Source YP Yahu P. COO Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An inventory system for those that do not want to spend unnecessary time doing inventory" September 11, 2024 5.0 Amazing in every single way. A clear software that allows you to work from everywhere and keep an eye on inventory. Pros Everything! this is a system that takes way all unnecessary embellishing things and is clear, and organized and to the point. Cons the only thing I would like to see is that it syncs to my crm. but to be honest, i have learned how to work around that.

I has been super smooth since we implemented it and we love it. Switched from [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/) It was way too expensive and too complicate for no reason. Review Source JB Jeff B. Logistics Coordinator Medical Devices Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "InFlow makes my life easier! " September 12, 2024 5.0 Super smooth, and very amazing for counting inventory! Pros Easy to use. Keeps everything organized. And you can customize it further if needed. We use sublocation as a place to name batches, and it's very useful. Cons It cannot use a product to create another product in the work orders. We normally have to use the same product to create more of this by creating a sort of circular reference, but this is not allowed. Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Excel too time consuming and have to put in formulas Review Source SG Sara G. Parts Manager Farming Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "inFlow Review" September 16, 2024 5.0 I had an easy time setting it up. It took a long time because we have so many parts but in the end was so worth it! I've been using it for about 2.5 months and have not had any problems. Pros I really like that it is all in one. I dont need different programs to keep track of inventory, customers, and invoices. Cons I wish I could click on a part in a sales order and bring up info about the part. If I want to look at a parts info I have to look it up separately. Alternatives considered [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/) Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory Better suited our needs. It was also a way better price. Switched from [Limble](https://www.capterra.com/p/162600/Limble-CMMS/) Limble couldn't do what we need it to. It also is for maintenance more then inventory. Review Source GB Gina B. warehouse manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "need an easy way to reserve product put on hold" September 12, 2024 4.0 I really like the site and customer service is super fantastic! Pros Keeping track of products, and who order or putting remarks were things went. Cons I would like to have a way to reserve products for a sale that we are waiting for customers payment to clear without totally taking it out of inventory, but it shows our website that product is not there at that time, so we do not take an order for product that we are holding for a customer. We do not have your full package with the store because we have a website. I would just like to have a simple way to put product on reserve / hold. Switched from [Wrk](https://www.capterra.com/p/204816/Wrk/) It was hard to learn and teach employees in a timely manner. Review Source VF Victoria F. Director of Operations Food & Beverages Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "InFlow Review" September 12, 2024 5.0 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!!

Pros Very easy to use! Love it and highly recommended!!

Retail Operations Furniture Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "10/10 would recommend" July 9, 2024 5.0 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 300](https://www.capterra.com/p/180283/Sage-300cloud/)[NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/)[Lightspeed Retail](https://www.capterra.com/p/120491/Lightspeed-Retail/) Reason for choosing 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 Source Response from Archon Systems July 18, 2024 Hi Kelyn, thanks for choosing inFlow through the On-Premise times and now in the cloud. We'll pass on your feedback about linking SO and POs!

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](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/)[Zoho Inventory](https://www.capterra.com/p/146241/Zoho-Inventory/) Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory I was already familiar with the Premiere version Switched from [Zoho Inventory](https://www.capterra.com/p/146241/Zoho-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 Review Source MJ MARY J. Business Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "INFLOW FOR WINDOWS" March 6, 2024 5.0 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](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory The ability to easily customize products. Switched from [dBASE 2019](https://www.capterra.com/p/246175/dBASE-2019/) Our computers no longer could run that program. Also, we needed something to track Inventory. Review Source Response from Archon Systems March 8, 2024 Thanks very much for this great feedback, Mary! For PO pricing, this may depend on what kind of import is being done. But just in case it helps: if the PO price is different from the saved vendor price, you should see an icon beside the "Unit price" field to save that PO's price back to the vendor record. ^TW JH Jessica H. Owner/ Accounts Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Inflow Inventory is my go to product" September 23, 2022 5.0 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. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Seen the more user friendly application of inflow and liked it better. Review Source ET Eleanor T. Owner Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Inflow upgrade" October 19, 2024 4.0 Everything was great until I switched devices it made my day a little easier though regardless of the platform sync Pros Tracking order progress and paperless inventory have been a game changer for my business. Cons Platform sync didn't always update across all of my devices Review Source JS John S. Purchasing and Inventory Control Specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Software" July 9, 2024 5.0 Overall, it's one of the better inventory systems I've used. Pros It's very easy to use! When I first started at the company I work at, no one really knew how to use it. A few months after I started and watching a lot of the helpful YouTube videos, I had inFlow up and running and created a Showroom for employees to use to request items they need at their site. Cons I wish we could change an item from stocked to non-stocked without having to create a whole new part. Review Source Response from Archon Systems July 18, 2024 Glad to hear you're finding our YouTube videos helpful, John! In case it helps: you could export product details, change the ProductName and ItemType, and re-import the file. This would help you create a new non-stocked version of that product, without having to copy all of the descriptions or other details. You could then deactivate the stocked product. If you have any questions about this, just reach out to us at support@inflowinventory.com. TB Tony B. Inventory Coordinator Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wonderful Experience" July 9, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source Response from Archon Systems July 18, 2024 Thanks for taking the time to review inFlow, Tony. We hope to celebrate a decade of working with you sooon! CP Calita P. Operations Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Inflow plus" July 16, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source CB Casey B. Equipment manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Duit Construction " July 9, 2024 5.0 Very good product, some of the reports are lacking a little but good overall Pros Easy to use and understand and work through Cons I would like to see a few little features Review Source MW Mary W. Director of Janitorial Department Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ease of Using Inflow Inventory Program" May 30, 2024 5.0 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. Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory Inflow seemed to meet most of our check boxes and was within our budgetary considerations. Review Source DH David H. Director of Help Desk Support Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "inFlow Inventory" June 3, 2024 5.0 Pros The best thing about inFlow Inventory is the tracking and reporting. Cons The reporting features are almost perfect, I have one report I need to create on my own, but otherwise the program is almost perfect. Review Source BK Bas K. Sr. Logistics manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "the one that does it all" July 29, 2022 4.0 Now that we have it working and implemented, it is so much more fun to work with. there is an overview for al you can think of...... all reports you want, but also clear and up to date data Pros The programm covers almost everything in 1 program. from buying, receiving, selling through the web-site build in or external, to delivering and invoicing. There are a lot of other programs, but only a few with all these functionalyties in 1 programm Cons in the beginning we had problems, by picking the goods they forgot to also ship the goods.... in my inventory reports the goods only left after i shipped the orders. I would love it if there would be a link in the programm to a tutorial page.... if you have questions or doubts...that you can look it up easely. I think there are to low limits on orders per month and users...the programm will be expensive for us! ( we are not selling, the orders are to deliver what the doctors are in need of..... so no revenue will come out) Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory most products you need to combine.... 1 for buying, 1 for inventory and most likely also seperate webshop We didn't want integration in our bookkeeping programm as that would give possible access to financial details and the bookkeeping is external. Review Source PLH Phoebe Louise H. Procurement Coordinator Automotive Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "A solid product even though it wasn't for us" October 17, 2023 4.0 I really liked inFlow personally, and I would recommend it to any friend or colleague looking for an inventory/invoicing software. I had a good time talking to every team member that I spoke to, which I can certainly say is not the case for every software team that I spoke to! Pros I really liked the overall layout and looks of inFlow. The design is clean and makes it fairly easy to find what you're looking for. Although it took me a little bit to figure out, I did like the way that parts were able to be "canned" into a finished good. This made overall organization of the inventory easy. I also liked the variety and customization of the labels generated with inFlow. It could fit anyone's needs in that arena. I also appreciated the helpfulness of the person who demo'd the product to me. I can only imagine how helpful the other support members are. Cons My bosses really prefer a very very detailed invoice, and they had a difficult time making that happen. They felt like it wasn't easy to make the estimates as similar to our old system as they would've liked which is ultimately the reason we are continuing our software search in another direction.

Manager/shareholder Building Materials Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Continuesly improved performance with great helpdesk" September 26, 2022 5.0 Overall I'm very positive about Inflow Inventory and so are my colleagues and bookkeeper. We have access from our mobile devices which is great. I also have to mention the help-desk, it is very useful and correct. Pros It's a great way to keep track of stock from purchase to sales. And with the Woocommerce integration it has increased its usefulness. Cons There is some discrepancy between theoretical purchases and real world, practical situations with suppliers. But this cannot be helped. I would like to see an option where purchases that are in transit with an ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) could be included in stock levels. That way clients visiting the online showroom could see when their required products would be available for delivery from our warehouse. Review Source CP Chris P. Supply Clerk Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One of the better offline packages I've tried, cloud based offering is coming along nicely" October 22, 2018 5.0 Support for this software is very good, I never have a problem getting a response, and there is a user based forum that also has a lot of information. Pros I liked that it was affordable, did not require that you pay a monthly subscription (for the offline version) and that it was more intuitive than most I've tried. The new integrated barcode feature of the cloud product brings this to the level of $10,000 systems I have used in the past. Cons The biggest con with both versions of this software is the inability to handle multiple warehouses properly. If an item you have is in multiple locations, it treats those locations as different bins on the same shelf, so it will not tell you that you need to order more for warehouse "A" of there is enough in warehouse "B,C,D" to meet the min/max criteria. This requires you to use different part numbers for the same thing in each warehouse, which is doable but annoying when it comes to transferring between warehouses and labelling. Review Source Response from Archon Systems January 4, 2023 Hi Chris, Thanks for the review! We have significantly improved how locations work in inFlow since your review. It's now possible to have separate reorder points for each of your locations and different actions you want to take at each location when that point is hit. For example, you could set a reorder point for your main warehouse and have that warehouse get replenished by purchases to your vendor. Meanwhile you could have smaller reorder points at your stores or branches that get replenished through Stock Transfers from your main warehouse. Manufacturers could also choose for a finished item to get replenished by building more on a Work Order. Hope that helps!
