About
inFlow Inventory is a comprehensive inventory management solution designed to help small and mid-size businesses take full control of their stock, orders, and supply chain. Unlike complex ERPs, inFlow is built for ease of use — anyone on the team can get started quickly without extensive training or tutorials. The platform offers three core products: inFlow Inventory for full stock and order management, inFlow Stockroom for rapid barcode-based stock movements, and inFlow Manufacturing for businesses that assemble products or kits. Each solution is tailored to specific operational needs while sharing a unified, intuitive interface. Key capabilities include real-time inventory tracking, purchase and sales order management, reorder point alerts, barcode label generation and scanning, B2B customer portal access, and support for multiple warehouses and locations. inFlow also integrates with third-party platforms and supports proprietary hardware like a ruggedized IP65-rated Android Smart Scanner and a portable label printer capable of printing over 5,000 labels on a single charge. inFlow is GDPR and SOC 2 compliant, making it a trustworthy choice for businesses handling sensitive operational data. With over 50,000 businesses using the platform, it's a proven alternative to spreadsheets and enterprise-grade ERPs alike. A 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required.
