inFlow Inventory makes inventory simple, and inFlow Manufacturing provides powerful manufacturing capabilities.
InFlow inventory serves as the core of the inFlow product line. If you need manufacturing capabilities, they are available at any time.
Inventory Management
This software helps you control your inventory costs and replenish the stock you need. inFlow can track the cost of each purchase, giving you profit details for each of your sales orders.
With inFlow, you will easily see which of your products are in stock, which aisle or bin they're in, and whether they're reserved. Whether you keep products in a back room or a 20,000 square-foot warehouse, you'll have the tools you need to track inventory from location to location. You can even connect to your eCommerce platforms (like Amazon, BigCommerce, eBay, Etsy, Magento, Shopify, and 30+ others) to automate more of your work.
With inFlow, you will easily control what to reorder and where it should go. Reorder points and notifications help you see when stock is getting too low, so you can take action before you run out. Never miss another sale due to a stock shortage.
With the inFlow App, you can manage your inventory. Easily manage sales by creating quotes, sales orders, or invoices from your mobile device. Check, purchase, transfer, or receive stock to manage your inventory. You can also pick, pack, and ship orders, as well as scan stock and print labels to manage your order fulfillment and warehouse operations.
inFlow will track your inventory and orders with barcode software you can add on to your inventory subscription. The use of barcodes can significantly enhance your performance and profitability by improving order fulfillment, stock organization, raw material receipt, and inventory counts.
You can use existing UPC or EAN barcodes or automatically generate your own using the latest industry standards. And inFlow's barcodes can be printed on any thermal label printer, such as Zebra, DYMO, or Brother. You can choose to use yoru phone to scan barcodes or upgrade to an inFlow Smart Scanner.

Manufacturing Upgrade
Do you manufacture? inFlow makes powerful manufacturing capabilities available as an upgrade to inventory users. You can quickly see your open manufacturing orders to know what needs to be manufactured next. You choose what and how you want to manufacture products, and inFlow keeps your inventory up to date as you work.
inFlow's Bill of Materials lists exactly the components required for your manufacturing process, and whether other assemblies in your stock contain the same components. To maintain manufacturing consistency, inFlow organizes the operational steps (routing) for your finished products. This allows you to estimate and track actual build times and labor costs against actual production performance.

- Bill of Materials (BOMs): Define components for finished products. Routing tracks production activities, including time spent in each manufacturing phase.

- Reorder by Work Order: Automate reordering for manufactured items.
Integration with Accounting Software
inFlow Inventory integrates with QuickBooks Online (QBO) and Xero by syncing sales orders, purchase orders, products, and inventory data, automating tasks like converting sales orders to invoices and purchases to bills, updating COGS and inventory asset accounts in real-time, and creating new customers/vendors as needed, reducing manual entry and ensuring financial records stay aligned.
The setup involves connecting within inFlow's settings, allowing data like invoiced sales and fulfilled purchases to flow automatically to keep your QBO data accurate. The integration with Xero is very similar.
