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.

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.

Office Admistration Manager Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Improvement the system" March 6, 2024 4.0 when changing inflow premise to inflow cloud, some function is not same, difficult for work Pros inflow cloud, more convenience, faster, no need to thru main computer Cons not using frequently so not known, just admin Review Source Response from Archon Systems March 8, 2024 Hi Mai, thanks for supporting inFlow through On-Premise and now our cloud app. If you have any questions as you use our web, Windows, or mobile apps, please don't hesitate to reach out to support@inflowinventory.com. Our team is happy to help! ^TW MC Mark C. COO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's the most comprehensive small business software I've come across with excellent customer service" May 7, 2018 5.0 Better tracking if purchases, inventory and sales, pretty much important in running a business. Pros I love that it has all the features from purchase to sales and the inventory functionalities are comprehensive. It captures almost all of our business scenarios. It is really comprehensive vs all other software that we evaluated. I would say that this is the top inventory software in its class, before the big ERPs. Also, their recent strategy to move to cloud with integration to popular platforms has made the software more relevant, and made our business easier to operate. Finally, the customer service is really great. They do interact with all users closely and they listen to product improvement suggestions. Cons 1) it would really really be a big productivity boost to be able to create sales order, review customer receivables/orders, and stock transfers in the mobile app or at least in the web app Review Source Response from Archon Systems January 4, 2023 Hey Mark, Thanks for the great review! Just wanted to let you know that it is now possible to do all the things you mentioned: create and review Sales Orders/ Purchase Orders, and Stock transfers in both the mobile app and also in the web app. Cheers, Cassandra NP Nigel P. Director Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "small business user" August 23, 2022 5.0 Pros ease of use and the invoicing helps keep control of our customers payments Cons the search feature would be better if it cleared after use as it keeps the last query in the box Review Source SB Seann B. CEO Machinery Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best inventory control software around!" December 18, 2019 5.0 with Inflow we finally were able to control our inventory, prepare quotes, sales orders and invoices, in everything in one place, there's no need to buy extra modules. Pros Inflow is very easy to use, clear, easy to understand, and full of functionalities that interconnect smoothly, we can search from multiple fields, and the best is that they have now the cloud version at a fraction of the cost of similar systems, even with less functionalities. Cons The lack of integration with ecommerce marketplaces like Amazon, eBay, Walmart, but I think the company is working on this. Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory decision was cost driven, but at the end we are happy with the software, and I think we found more glitches on the competitors. Review Source Response from Archon Systems January 4, 2023 Thanks for the review, Seann! We do have a sales integration with Amazon and it's possible to connect to eBay and Walmart through our integration with CartRover. Hope that helps! Cassandra JG John G.

It handles everything you'll need! :) " February 12, 2018 5.0 Made my job as sales representative, and inventory control, much easier and more accurate. Pros Once you get to find your way around some, you come to see that it's going to save lots of time, and redundancies, with regard to invoices, packing slips, inventory control. But what is wonderful is it gives you a trajectory of inventory, so you never have to worry about having enough stock, or the dreaded "too-much-stock" on hand. The tech support has been friendly, and precise, even waiting on the phone as I worked through the things that I needed help with. I used to be asked by my boss, at the worst times I might add, "How much stock do we have right now?" And I'd give a guesstimate, sometimes close, some times I was way off, as I had to answer right away. Those days are gone thankfully, as now at any given moment I can not only give an exact stock count, but I can tell if more is needed to order and how much. The neat part too, is you can put in your own trigger amounts when stock count sinks to a certain it tells you to reorder, and you decide how much. No more guess work!! Cons I wish the invoice templates were a little more striking in appearance. Just a little drab. Yes you can make your own but, a few more invoice template choices with invoicing would be nice with more life. That goes for the stock inventory as well. It tells the information, but looks boring. Just a little more lively looking reports would be nice especially when presenting these in company meetings. Example: "It's like 2 Ferrari's, one with the body just primed, the other with a sleek polished competition race paint job. Both perform the same, but one looks like it means business." Review Source 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 Steven D. Territory Manager/Partner Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Does what we need it to.." December 21, 2018 5.0 Pros We switched from the desktop version of inflow. We use MacOS/IOS as a company and were growing concerned that we would have to switch platforms completely to allow our team "cloud" access to our inventory and invoicing. The new interface makes the transition very simply and gives us the full functionality we need on our operating systems. Cons We would like to see the continued development of the web app Review Source BS Belinda S. Creative Director Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Robust and Affordable Inventory Management" March 26, 2018 5.0 InFlow worked really well as an affordable inventory control solution with their one-time fee for a desktop version. Our client was a new industrial supply company with around 1000 items but very limited staffing. InFlow offered an unlimited number of inventory and sub-categories. We needed a program that was easy to learn with the ability to have real-time inventory counts, profit and cost of goods sold, along with sales quotes that could be moved into sales orders and invoices along with vendor ordering capability. Inflow provided what we were looking for in a desktop solution. Pros The inFlow Inventory program was quite easy to learn and compared to other inventory management software, really affordable. It also had the ability to integrate with Magento or Shopify for when our business client was ready to move into online sales and the ability to use barcoding. There were a number shortcuts in the program which was quite useful for a small business with inventory but with limited operations staff. For example, through the Vendor list, low stock can be identified with the Suggest Reordering feature. We found it was a fairly robust program for our small business client, but also easily installed, customized and managed with a fairly flat learning curve to run it with success. Cons The only major downside to the desktop version of inFlow was its inability to integrate with an accounting program. Although the reporting capacity gave all the information that was needed for management and financial meetings, the information had to be exported out of Inflow and imported into the accounting program manually. The cloud version of inFlow has this ability, but the desktop version did not. There was also no Mac version available. Review Source TR Toby R. Asst. Superintendent Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Product for the Investment" August 24, 2022 5.0 Using InFlow, we have integrated work orders, inventory, and purchasing into one "place". Great options for reporting and usage. Overall, a simple, easy-to-use inventory management program, should satisfy most small business needs. Pros The ease of use and customer service make this product what it is. This software literally does everything we need. Cons I really have no "Cons". Maybe a little more user-defined templates, but I have made it work just fine for our use. Review Source Shiva S. Managing Director Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Inflow is effective, easy to learn and robust. But when it's not, the team at inFlow is phenomenal!" May 4, 2018 4.0 Inventory Mastery Pros I like the team of people that built it. I like that they genuinely care about my issues. And the quality of the software reflects the solid engineering behind it. Cons The security options and access control is very limited and not specific enough. I'd like to setup my users to have very specific access. Review Source PJ Peter J. Manager Used the software for: ### "Very intuitive, and such an easy entry into the world of bar-coding." November 12, 2015 3.0 I went to the internet with a need, and that was to get our small business bar-coded, since the old words-only tags were taking so long to process at the point of sale, ie. hand written receipts and all, causing lineups that were too long at times and likely costing us business. I found your book offer "Bar-code Your Business" and ordered a copy. It was well written, very concise, and of course, led me to purchase Inflow. What I REALLY like about Inflow is how intuitive it is. I didn't need to take a course to figure it out, as it feels very Windows-like. I purchased a no-name bar code gun online, devised a model code scheme for our products, and was up and running in no time. Thanks. On the "not so shiny" comments side, I can't say I liked the upgrade from v2 to v3. The original v2 did everything I needed, and required less explanation to my helpers as to it's function. Suddenly with v3, we now had to hit Save, Fulfill and Mark Paid, all of which ended up with me having to fix this by cheating the date on my computer and closing orders after the fact, when the helpers didn't do it the first time. I was also broadsided one day when on the job, Inflow v3 just froze up on me and I didn't know what to do, exactly when I needed it the most. Well, it turns out that I had to be connected to the internet to use it, obviously so Inflow could monitor licensing/usage status. This was not good, although your customer service was quick to help me with this. If you could find another way to police the licensing, that would be nice. And finally, the one thing that drives me nuts (did again yesterday) is the fact that if I fill in the "customer name" field AFTER having filled in the sales order details, any discounts applied off original price get erased. This has on a number of occasions caused me to inadvertently overcharge customers, and is extremely embarrassing when it's they who notice it first and think I'm trying to "pull a fast one" on them. PLEASE fix this! (although I'm outside of my customer support time window, you can spare others the same issue). Once again, I must compliment your customer service (hen it still applied to me) for their very prompt responses to any query I ever had.

Pros A ferramenta que evita os repedidos. Isto é um ato que acontece no dia a dia e que reduz informações incorretas Cons Não encontrei pontos negativos, somente a falta de leitura de alguns produtos.

I find is very trackable the information I need. I am looking forward to using all the new plugs in with Woo and Amazon. Cons I'd like a few more features when it comes to duel warehousing. I like to know how to add more fields. I'd like a undo button or back button without going out of the current workload. I'd like more mini turtorials Review Source LB Lance B. Technical Officer Chemicals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great software but needs work in a few key areas" May 4, 2018 4.0 Simple inventory management. Pros The software is great for managing our inventory it has images, adds bar codes, manufacturers SKU and the showroom is a great start. InFlow has allowed us to become more compliant in managing Hazardous Goods. Cons The showroom needs to have more customisation options, the labels only print on Dymo printers however we have a Toshiba Tec industrial label printer a common printer that we use bartender software with. Why cant Inflow integrate with Bartender to support all label printers? We are using InFlow to manage a chemical store, this means chemicals and consumables used in a laboratory environment. Inflow could do with the ability to upload a PDF to an item in the extras field so you can attach a MSDS to the products if they are hazardous materials. Review Source Response from Archon Systems January 9, 2023 Hi Lance, Thank you for the great review! We've just added a new barcode label designer tool into inFlow that can support more label printers now. We haven't tested it with the Toshiba Tec, but have no reason to believe that it wouldn't work.

Review Source JD Jesus D. Jefe de ALmacen Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Head of Warehouses with more than 4 years of experience" August 10, 2017 5.0 Pass all Excel inventories very quickly and manage the products in more than 5+ stores Pros The flexibility that gives the user, if I need a report that does not have inFlow I can export / create it to Excel. I can also simply copy and paste data. I currently handle 6000+ SKUs in more than 5 stores, more than 100,000+ Sales without slowing down problems, or headaches. Thanks to this program you move from ordered storage to chaotic storage without problems Cons I do not have a clear disadvantage ... mmm ... I see that you can not handle products with expiration date, but that is not my item Review Source MJ Mary J. Office Manager Sporting Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Review of Inflow Cloud" October 23, 2018 4.0 We did not have an inventory program set up in any way before INFLOW. Using this program has helped us to keep our inventory more accurate. The ability to export information and create custom reporting is very helpful for the reporting we need to do here. We consider this to be a Platform that is very easy to set up and use. Pros We have found that INFLOW was willing to work with us to set this up to best fit our needs. We find the customer service and support staff to be incredibly helpful. They not only respond in a timely fashion to our requests, but followup with ideas and suggestions to be sure that we are not continually struggling with a project we are trying to set up. Cons I do not think the integration with QB fits our needs. There needs to be a 2 way integration with QB for credit card payments. Also, the invoices did not print out correctly without additional work on our end and the statement feature was difficult. Review Source AA Angela A. Shipping and Receiving Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I have used Inflow for almost 4 years and have not found a reason to change inventory systems yet." July 2, 2018 5.0 The reporting offered by inFlow is very detailed and well laid out. Pros Inflow has a lot of characteristics and functionality that other inventory systems do not. With the easy access to view numerous pages at the same time is one of my favorite features. Cons The only thing that we have had trouble with Inflow Inventory is the fact that they do not offer an open API. The company that I work directly through a CRM and it would be wonderful to be able to connect orders directly to a customer. Currently we are having to manually share orders, which adds unneeded time spent. Review Source TS Todd S. Production Manager Semiconductors Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Software,....but" December 18, 2019 5.0 Pros The overall learning cueve for the software is not bad at all. Much more user friendly and reliable than quickbooks. Cons Seems most the focus is now on the web based version, have not seem many updates for the stand-alone version in the last couple years. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Needed a more robust inventory/production focused software package. Review Source JB JOHN B. ASSET MANAGEMENT Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "REALLY LIKING THE SOFTWARE, EASY TO USE AND HAS SIMPLE USER FRIENDLY INTERFACE" May 4, 2018 5.0 UNTIL MORE EMPLOYEES ARE FURTHER EDUCATED ON OUR PROCESS AND PLANS THE SOFTWARE WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO POPULATE AND GET US INTO GOOD HABITS AND ROUTINES, OTHER THAN THAT THE SOFTWARE WAS INCREDIBLY EASY TO SETUP. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EASILY POPULATE THE SOFTWARE FOR SEVERAL OF OUR AREAS AND DEPARTMENTS AND AM CURRENTLY WORKING WITH VARIOUS MANAGERS. Pros PERSONALLY LIKE THE LOCATIONS FEATURES AND SUB-LOCATIONS, EASY TO ASSIGN ASSETS TO THEIR APPROPRIATE DEPARTMENTS AND USERS. I ALSO LIKE THE FEATURE TO ADD IN YOUR OWN TABS AND FIELDS. Cons I WOULD LIKE FOR THE SHOWROOM TO BE ABLE TO BE SPLIT INTO SEVERAL OR VARIOUS SECTIONS....SUCH AS BEING ABLE TO FILTER ONE DIVISION FROM THE OTHER, POSSIBLY HAVING INDIVIDUAL SHOWROOMS FOR EACH DEPARTMENT SO THAT WE CAN MAKE IT EASIER TO FILTER EACH DEPARTMENT'S ASSETS AND HAVE THEM BE SHOWN ONLY FOR THEIR ASSIGNED USERS WE INVITE. WE ARE NOT USING THIS SOFTWARE OR THE SHOWROOM FOR CUSTOMERS, WE ARE ONLY USING IT FOR THE STAFF AND HAVING 1-2 EMPLOYEES (MYSELF AND ONE OTHER) POPULATE AND USE THIS SOFTWARE ON A DAILY BASIS. WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE EACH DIVISION/DEPARTMENT'S MANAGER(S) BE ABLE TO VIEW THEIR OWN STOCK VIA THE SHOWROOM AND BE ABLE TO POSSIBLY EASILY PRINT OR UPDATE THEIR AREA/DEPT BY PRINTING OUT A PAGE VIA THE SHOWROOM AND HANDING ME AND THE OTHER INFLOW USER SO WE CAN UPDATE THEIR STOCK ON A WEEKLY OR BI-WEEKLY BASIS. SOME AREAS NEED TO BE UPDATED MORE FREQUENTLY THAN OTHERS. Review Source BH Brittany H. Owner Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Inflow is a great option for small business owners!" April 19, 2022 5.0 I've been using it for 6 plus years now. no issues with it. I think its great. Pros The software is easy to install, easy to use. All the features needed to keep track of inventory going out and shipments coming in. Love the option of sending invoicing as well Cons It is a bit on the expensive side if you are using the cloud option. Review Source KP KURT P.

Very good tutorial videos. Cons Not able to format or personalize email. Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory Initially cost, due to just starting the business. The more I grew the more I needed to track everything. And never looked back. Review Source NB NATHAN B. Owner Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Inflow Enhanced inventory Management For Free!" October 20, 2018 5.0 I love this platform because of its robust set of functions, I do suggest using someone with experience to set up the software if hosting on premise. The cloud version is much easier but also not free. Pros Inflow desktop is free and incredibly robust packed with features to accommodate all business types. With the ability to customize naming conventions (functions) this inventory and finance platform is beyond adequate for every kind of business. This platform can be expanded with paid modules to add functions such as barcode scanning and automatic updates to inventory. A paid cloud option is available with enhanced support and functions Cons The free version has very limited support and the setup is very complicated if you do not have experience in the platform. No clear path to API integrations Some functions are not available in free mode you must buy the enhanced modules Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
