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.

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 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.

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 GK Gerhard K. Special Projects Maritime Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review from a SMALL company" September 12, 2024 4.0 Good to great. I have no other inventory system to compare with, but feel it is a useful tool. I have no comment on how expensive it is for a small company as I do not handle accounts. It is just a hunch that for a small company that many not need all of the applications, it is expensive. Pros It is comprehensive in terms of data retention of all inputs, with a wide variety of inputs. Re-order levels is good and tracking history and ability to transfer directly to accounting is great. Cons The fact that it is not easy to adjust the invoice look and the Excel transfer sheet for evaluation. The format for invoices is not helpful in the that the total amount sometimes the the last digit gets wrapped to the next row. I have to transfer to Excel to make a correction. Annoying. Excel export format the columns all need adjusting to capture the data in the columns. Also very annoying. 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 AS Anna S. Vice-President Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A very happy user" September 19, 2024 5.0 Very happy customer. I have used inFlow for 14 years and have found very few issues or glitches. Any time I have needed support they have been excellent. Pros User friendly, fast loading. It offers all the functionality I need without being bogged down with features I don't require. Customer service is excellent and they take feedback on board to improve the software. Cons The cost of the cloud vs on premise. I was a very happy user of on premise for 14 years and had no intention to move over to cloud but eventually had no choice. Review Source SM Stan M. Managing Director Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Inflow Inventory Rocks!" June 4, 2024 5.0 Love Inflow. Great team of people always there to assist. They do so much for educating and training people. Pros It is a one-stop shop for controlling everything stock related in a business. We could literally not exist without Inflow Cons Would love to permanently delete old products and clients Switched from [Pastel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176456/Pastel/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) For control! Inflow makes controlling the process from order to invoice seamless Review Source SM Steven M. Sr. executive Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great WMS for a 3PL" March 10, 2022 4.0 The ability to invoice, manage inventory and run all the related reports is a great time saver. Pros It’s ease of use and ability for us to train new employees quickly. Cons Would like to see the ability to do multiple units if measurement. Knowing how many pallets is great, however knowing pallet and piece counts simultaneously would be even better. Alternatives considered [Logiwa](https://www.capterra.com/p/149744/Logiwa/) Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory We run both systems for different customer needs. 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 KM Kelly M. Electrician Oil & Energy Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Inflow Review" September 12, 2024 4.0 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. Review Source NK Nayan K. Purchaser Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Inflow Purchasing and Inventory Management " September 11, 2024 5.0 Positive. Simple to use. 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. They need to be more concise and automated. Review Source DS Daniel S. President Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Inflow is a great stock management program!" September 11, 2024 5.0 Used it for 13 years and very happy. Strongly recommend it! Pros Easy to use and simple. Love the app on windows, hope that stays forever! Cons Don't like how different the cloud version is compared to the app. The app is so much more user friendly. Review Source KD Kayla D. Office Administrator Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team Review" July 11, 2024 4.0 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.

Director Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software for us as a small business" December 13, 2023 5.0 Overall we like Inflow and have used it for a number of years. I’m sure it can do more for us than we are using but we tend to just stick with what we do. Pros We’re a small wholesaler. This was very easy for us to set up. Helps us keep on top of all our orders. Cons Not sure if it integrates with our other software. We often find we have to duplicate work from Sage. Review Source Response from Archon Systems December 15, 2023 Thank you for writing us a review, Morna. It's great to hear from another small business. Regarding integrations: we do have quite a number of third party and core integrations, and we also support workflows with Zapier and our API. If you'd like to see if we integrate with the other software you use, please get in touch at support@inflowinventory.com and we'll do our best to help you out. MA Mary A. President Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "InFlow Is Essential to our Operations" May 30, 2024 5.0 We've been very happy with InFlow and it is an essential part of our day-to-day operations. Pros I like the ease of use and the ability to run a variety of reports. Cons Inventory Item input can be confusing and difficult to change. Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory We liked the ease of use, the large variety of reporting options and the discount given to us as a non-profit. 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! 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. JH Joe H. Material management Telecommunications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Made a world of difference for our warehouse team" December 2, 2020 4.0 Very positive overall experience. I wouldn't recommend it for a large corporate entity but we are a small company with thousands of items and it works great. Pros Easy data import via CSV UOM conversions Multiple Location/Sub-Locations - track specific quantities by specific buildings/shelves Material pricing tiers Easily track orders Mobile App! Now we know what needs to be ordered for upcoming projects before the project starts depleting our inventory! Online Storefront! Cons The windows app works fine but is a bit sluggish. You don't get that polished/refined feel when using it. Fragmentation between mobile apps and windows app. Only one item photo can be uploaded/viewed on windows app, while multiple pics can be uploaded/seen on mobile app. Online storefront a bit confusing because of not having an "Add to cart" button. Simple selecting a quantity puts that quantity in your cart. Only integrates with Dymo label printers. Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory Mainly the storefront option. Review Source Response from Archon Systems January 4, 2023 Thanks for this detailed review, Joe! Since our feature set is always improving, I wanted to take a moment to update some points: For the online storefront (Online Showroom) we now offer an option for private showrooms with carts and even online payment. And we've recently improved our labels support. We now have a built-in label designer and expanded support for printers (we've tested Zebra, brother, and Dymo thus far). We're always working to improve performance in inFlow so we hope your experience has been better since you left this review.

It makes inventory management very accurate and successful. Pros Creating of Purchase order Stock transfer sales order Creating of Report Cons Very slow to access through the internet Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) It is not as accurate compared to inflow Review Source Response from Archon Systems July 18, 2024 Hello Alhaji Alpha Hassan, thanks for leaving us a review, and we're glad to hear that you're finding inFlow easier and faster to use than your spreadsheets. DA Dan A. Workshop Manager Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fully adaptable, simple Inventory Management System" October 28, 2022 5.0 Pros Able to use to suit the amount of information you want to work with. Functioned with bare minimum to allow bare bones set up which can then be added to as you decide to improve with more functions as yoou have time to do. Cons Would be good to have a holding goods in location where items automatically store and then have process for putting items into their location.Label integration other than dymo. Review Source Response from Archon Systems January 4, 2023 Hi Dan, thanks for taking the time to share your detailed feedback! I've logged your note about a holding location. And I'm also pleased to share that we now support more thermal printers (we've tested brother, DYMO, and Zebra so far) and we've built a full-fledged label designer into the inFlow web app. The easiest way to find it is to go to a product, select Print Labels, and then select the Label Designer.
