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. Review Source Response from Archon Systems April 15, 2025 Thanks for taking the time to write us a review, Karla! We'll share this feedback with the team. DAD Danish Azmat D. Deputy Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "A Tool of Efficient Inventory Management." January 22, 2022 3.0 It is an effective inventory management system that covers inflows, tracking, sales & reporting That is what a business needs to get overall inventory insights for better decision making & customer service. It is indeed a value for money. Pros It is not very expensive & simple to use which helps you organize your inventory systematically. Customer service is also very helpful & responsive. The interface runs smoothly without hanging & meets its functionality without hassle. Cons The system is great for a small business run but some flexibility in customization options really help to overcome limitations & make it more compact & robust. Alternatives considered [Zoho Inventory](https://www.capterra.com/p/146241/Zoho-Inventory/) Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory It is easy to operate & its ability in inventory management is great. Review Source TB Todd B. Director Farming Used the software for: 2+ years ### "All Software is a work in progress" March 6, 2024 5.0 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](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/) Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory Odoo seemed like an octopus, always offering more modules and too many features. Review Source Response from Archon Systems March 8, 2024 Hi Todd, thanks for this great, detailed review! Regarding your report, here are two tips that could help: 1. You could use an Inventory by Location report which can exclude products with zero quantity. 2. If your plan includes inFlow Showroom, you could create a public showroom and share that link with your customers. Showrooms can exclude out-of-stock products, and unlike an emailed or printed report, the showrooms are updated live based on the latest inFlow data. Hope that helps, and thanks again! ^TW JC Jenna C. CFO Defense & Space Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Decent Inventory Cloud management at a fraction of the cost of the competitors " May 31, 2024 5.0 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](https://www.capterra.com/p/123794/Fishbowl/)[Odoo](https://www.capterra.com/p/135618/Odoo/)[Trello](https://www.capterra.com/p/211559/Trello/)[NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/)[Sage 100](https://www.capterra.com/p/227232/Sage-100cloud/) Reason for choosing 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. Switched from [MRPeasy](https://www.capterra.com/p/134177/MRPEasy/)[Sortly](https://www.capterra.com/p/169199/Sortly-Pro/) 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 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. 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 Ricardo B. Owner Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Practical" October 30, 2021 4.0 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 Switched from [Invoice Ninja](https://www.capterra.com/p/145215/Invoice-Ninja/) Invoice ninja is too basic. Once we started to grow we needed something more powerful for the inventory management. Review Source NH Natalie H. Finance Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great all-in-one inventory control software" October 21, 2025 4.0 Good experience, would definitely recommend. It has all the features you would hope from an inventory software Pros Having the option of controlling inventory in a one-stop-shop. The ease of transferring stock from one location to another. Fulfilling purchase and sales orders, maintaining real time information ans stock levels. The reports are also handy for cost and stock level reporting Cons Recent update on the purchase order set up wasn't greeted well by our team, we all preferred the old version, in both the look of it and also how orders are fulfilled. Review Source ES Emily S. Manager Farming Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Assistant Manger" September 23, 2025 4.0 My overall experience is that it was user friendly and easy to maneuver around the appt. Results were right away and easy to sort out Pros I like the fact it was user friendly and gave me instant results and moved things around for me. It was very helpful Cons There is nothing that I disliked about this product. Overall it was user friendly and easy to move around Review Source Response from Archon Systems October 31, 2025 We're so glad you're finding inFlow so helpful. Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, Emily! VR Verified Reviewer Audit Support Track Warehousing Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Logistic REV" November 11, 2024 4.0 Efficient for managing stock levels; keeps everything organized and simple to track. Pros Easy-to-use inventory tracking with helpful automation. Cons Limited reporting options in the basic plan. Review Source CY Colleen Y. Senior NPI Buyer-Planner Semiconductors Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Inflow is easy to use and get started right away!" September 11, 2024 4.0 Inflow has definitely made my work so much more manageable and can really do a lot, especially if workflows and conventions are laid out for users. For a small business/commerce business, it is a great choice. Pros Simple to use, covers basic needs for a small company, quick to get started and learn. Customer service is EXCELLENT and they help to figure out ways to get what you need out of the platform. The price point makes it easy to start using and you can add modules as needed for nominal extra cost. There are simple .csv uploads and downloads to help every day with placing a lot of orders or uploading BOMs. Cons As a company grows, it can be limiting. The audit trail for changes that are made to PO's, work orders, etc, is pretty basic and limited to a name and date. You have to figure out what changed by comparing versions. No revision control on BOMs, item records, etc. Though there are many note fields that can be used to document these details in a non-regulated environment. Review Source PR Patrick R. Warehousing Administrator - Procurement Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Great Utility" September 12, 2024 5.0 Integrates very well with our day to day tracking of stock movement, purchasing and reports. Pros The user interface (after becoming familiar) is very easy to navigate and to operate. Cons The way email get sent, I'd much rather have the "invoices" or "purchase orders" become a pdf when submitting them to a vendor. 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 PN Pat N. Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Inventory System" March 5, 2024 5.0 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 Review Source Response from Archon Systems March 8, 2024 Hi Pat, thanks for leaving a review! You're right that inFlow Inventory (our cloud-based app) doesn't sync with our older On-Premise version. But for anyone who wants to transfer from OP to our cloud app, we do offer free ways to migrate or export your data so you can move it to the cloud. Just reach out to support@inflowinventory.com with your details and we'll help with the right steps. ^TW 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.

Material Coordinator Oil & Energy Used the software for: 2+ years ### "review of inflow Cloud" May 30, 2024 5.0 My experience has been overall good, very few complaints Pros It is all intuitive and easy to under stand, creating and managing part numbers and BOMs is easy. Cons The only option I know of to see what parts are still needed to be picked to complete a manufacture order is to hit the autofill button. Review Source KR Kim R. Jackie of All Trades Furniture Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent Service & Support" July 10, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source Response from Archon Systems July 18, 2024 Hi Kim, thanks for leaving us a review! We'll share your feedback with the support team, have a great day! JD James D. Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very accurate and easy to use." August 11, 2018 5.0 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. Review Source LO Lee O. Resource Shipping admin Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 2+ years ### "InFlow is Awesome" September 12, 2024 5.0 Awesome, Easy to integrate, superior help when needed. very reasonably priced. Pros Ease of use. Excellent online training videos. Versatility. It was easy to adapt InFlow into our established business procedures. Cons This might just be me not figuring it out, but we handle an extensive number of unique inventory items. In the current stock view I do not want to see all of the items with 0 inventory 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 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! NK Nayan K.

Provides all the insights to efficiently run day to day business. Pros Ease of use. Correct and accurate mapping of incoming POs to final bins after PO receipts, Movement history to track flow of items and all the reports to get critical insights on the business. Cons Dashboards.
