### "A good downgrade for us"

September 11, 2024

5.0

Very good. 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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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!!

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.

### "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

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

### "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.

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

Love Inflow. Great team of people always there to assist. They do so much for educating and training people.

Pros

### "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.

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.

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.

March 6, 2024

5.0

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.

Reason for choosing inFlow Inventory

We started with the free version online and it immediately becaame our default sales nd inventory management software. We turn over 3/4 of a million revenue annually and we don't foresee changing this system out any time in the near future. It works brilliantly for us!

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.

### "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.

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. If you (or anyone else) is experiencing any slowness, please reach out to us at support@inflowinventory.com and we'll be in touch! - Thomas
