Established over a decade ago, inFlow has grown to serve over 40,000 businesses worldwide, providing them with tools to manage orders, track inventory, and streamline their operations. The software has a user-friendly interface and robust features, including the ability to fulfil orders, print labels, scan barcodes, and reorder stock efficiently.

inFlow is versatile, offering both cloud-based and on-premise solutions to suit different business needs. The cloud-based option, inFlow Cloud, allows users to access their inventory data from anywhere, while the on-premise solution, inFlow On-Premise, provides small businesses with the option to store their data locally.

The company prides itself on creating software that is both simple and powerful, ensuring that even small businesses with thousands of products can manage their inventory with ease. With a commitment to supporting small businesses and a product that reflects this dedication, inFlow is a reliable and efficient inventory management solution.

Reorder management: The software provides tools to help small businesses manage reorders efficiently. Users can set reorder points for each item and inFlow will notify them when stock levels fall below these points, ensuring that they can reorder stock in time to meet customer demand.
Multi-location support: inFlow is designed to support small businesses with multiple locations, allowing users to track inventory across different warehouses and stores. This is particularly useful for small businesses that need to manage stock levels and transfers between locations.

Ease of Use

Opening an account with inFlow is a simple process. New users can sign up on the inFlow website, where the platform offers a free trial that allows small businesses to test out the features before committing to a subscription. The onboarding wizard guides users through the initial configuration, helping them to quickly get started with the software.

During my time with inFlow, I found that it boasts a user-friendly interface, with intuitive navigation and clear, concise menus. You can easily add and manage inventory, track sales and orders, and generate reports. The software also supports barcode scanning, which streamlines the inventory management process and reduces the likelihood of errors.

The platform is responsive, and the various features are well-integrated, providing a seamless inventory management experience. inFlow also provides a range of training materials and support options to help users get the most out of the software. The inFlow website features a comprehensive knowledge base, with articles, tutorials, and video guides covering various aspects of the software.

Overall, I think that inFlow offers good value for money given its price point. However, there are a few limitations to be aware of, such as the occasional issues with server stability and the lack of granular access control features.

Security

inFlow's inventory management solution utilizes Microsoft Azure for cloud security, providing a reliable and secure infrastructure for storing user data. This is complemented by 24-hour physical monitoring, adding an additional layer of protection for stored data.

The data on inFlow is protected through 256-bit SSL encryption, a high-grade encryption technology used by the world’s top banks. This ensures that all data transmitted between the user and inFlow is secure and protected from unauthorized access. Additionally, the servers hosting inFlow are protected by a firewall, which acts as a network defence mechanism to block any unauthorized access, ensuring that only authorized personnel can access the stored data.

inFlow takes data backup and recovery seriously, performing multiple data backups daily in various locations around the world. This ensures that in the event of a regional incident or data loss, users’ data can be quickly and securely recovered.

The platform is also committed to user privacy and compliance with data protection regulations. inFlow explicitly states that user data will never be sold to third parties. The platform is also fully GDPR-compliant, adhering to the stringent data protection regulation set forth by the European Commission.
